Wild WIld West

Here you'll find tales of cattle and cowboys, gold and greed, rewards and revenge, and country as wide open and raw as the Arizona dessert or the great Rocky Mountains. In this collection of eight short stories the world's best selling writer of westerns takes the reader back to the raw boned times of leather, bullets, and ten gallon hats. It was a time when men were men and anything that moved was a target. It was a time when the law reigned supreme at least, that is, till it got in the way of the business at hand. It was a time when good ranch land was as valuable as gold and equally fought over. It was the time of the cowboy. As fans all around the world already know, Louis L'Amour brings these rough times to life with his stories. No one spins a tale quite like he does. The eight stories here are prime examples of L'Amour at his best. Between each story L'Amour has included historical notes which, while not exactly related to the stories in any particular way, help to bring a deeper sense of reality to the anthology. Buckskin Run is a fantastic collection of gritty western yarns and it's a great action packed read from the first page to the last.
