Customer Reviews

A collection of great stories by Louis L'Amour

This is another of L'Amour's works, in which he has collected a set of short stories under a single title. Like all his writing, these are great stories, and each one could easily form the basis for a complete book in its own right. I highly recommend this book to anyone who really likes this author, and the shorter length of each piece means one can set the book aside without wondering what happens next in the story - easy to read in short sessions but highly enjoyable. All lovers of fine Western fiction should enjoy this book.

Captivating, involved book, a must read L'amour title

As a lover of L'amour books, I found these short stories to be some of the best I've read. Anyone who studies the West or loves to read about who founded our rough West should read any of Louis L'amour's books.
