Book Overview
Louis L'Amour's world is built on those dramatic moments when men and women cast their fears, doubts, and pasts behind them and plunge into the unknown - into split-second decisions with life-and-death consequences. Nowhere is that more evident than in this latest collection of stories set on the American frontier. Here L'Amour takes us across a bold, beautifully rendered landscape where strangers may come to trust - or kill - one another; where old scores haunt new lives and the wrong choice leaves unwitting victims. Even at the best of times, this is a world in which every man and woman must be responsible for their own survival. This keepsake volume features unforgettable moments and timeless characters. From fugitives to visionaries, from fortune seekers and drifters seeking a new life to young women trying to build homes in an all too often lawless world, the characters in these pulse-pounding stories are vintage L'Amour. Together in this vivid, rollicking collection of stories, they bring to life the American spirit and confirm Louis L'Amour's place at the very top of the pantheon of American writers.

Louis Lamour great story teller
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
Louis Lamour is a great storyteller. They often have an ending one cannot envision and they are of the old school in that they almost always turn out OK in the end even though sometimes there are suprize endings. I have all 5 books of his short stories and they are all good.
Book is great!

I've read several of these stories and they're great. I'm not sure I can agree with the reviewer who said the stories are not by L'Amour. As I look at the index, I note numerous stories which have appeared in previously published versions, such as the "Ghost Maker" and the "Cactus Kid" stories. So if these are not authentic L'Amour then they weren't years ago either when they appeared under his byline. In any case, these are a great read!
