Synopsis

This priceless collection of once lost stories brings to life a time of desperate violence and true courage in a wide-open country of fortune seekers and dreamers, lawbreakers and pioneers.

A newly sworn-in marshal must outwit a mysterious killer who’s fleecing his neighbors while secretly cutting their throats. . . .

A young drifter, wounded in a gunfight, finds a chance to change his ways—but he must be willing to pay with his life. . . .

A fiercely independent woman and a mysterious stranger take a desperate stand against those out to drive her from her home. . . .

And in the haunting short novel Monument Rock, a shadowy horseman delivers a terrifying message to an innocent young woman—the shocking truth about the two men closest to her heart. History, humor, action, and adventure fill the pages of these masterpieces, told by one of the foremost storytellers of our time.

Goodreads review by Fredrick on December 07, 2020

A series of the last western short stories of L'Amour featuring the Cactus Kid, Utah Blaine, Browdie, and Kilkenny published after L'Amour's death by his son. Most do not have the romance of his novels which make them more realistic reads.......more

Goodreads review by Jason on December 09, 2010

A wonderful page turner. Each story is exciting as the one before it. L'amour brings the old west to life on the page like no other. He really captures the true grit and heart of those times.......more

Goodreads review by Jeff on May 24, 2022

This was pretty good, a collection of seven short stories and a longer novella that were all westerns. These were published after the author's death and serve as the conclusion to the sagas of several of L'Amour's favorite characters such as Bowdrie and Kilkenny.......more
