Synopsis

In Louis L'Amour's frontier stories, the American West is the crucible in which character is tested, reputations are won or lost, and life always hangs in the balance. Struggling to survive against the elements, hostile Indians, or outlaws who prey upon the honest and hardworking, the men and women in these tales each come face-to-face with what they're made of—often in moments that explode with the violence of an avalanche or the speed of a drawn gun. Here L'Amour demonstrates the unerring touch for detail and keen insight into human nature that lend these stories the power to thrill, surprise, and entertain listeners of every generation.
 
Here are stories of honest thieves and crooked lawmen, of dream chasers and treasure hunters, of men and women hoping for a second chance and others down to their last. This rich and varied cast embodies not only the spirit of the West but the timeless struggle of the best and worst in us all, on a stage as big as the frontier itself. Full of suspense, mystery, adventure, this remarkable collection has everything that's earned Louis L'Amour his well-deserved reputation as America's favorite storyteller.

Another excellent collection from L'Amour. Every time I start one of these I hope for the best, and every time I finish one of these I know I got the best, so I have no idea why I continue to hope at the beginning. I should just take it for granted. This time around I couldn't help but notice that a......more

This is a hard to review book. Much like any genre considered less than high tone lit, formula books are too often downgraded. For anyone with an addiction to an author or genre, sci-fi, romance, horror, etc) it's more of a need to have the stories satisfy than to deeply challenge and enlighten. The......more

Goodreads review by Justin on January 16, 2018

Classic Louis L'Amour! Each story starts with a bang, gallops quickly, and ends with an exciting if predictable ending! Westerns are excellent at descriptions and L'Amour's ability to handle the move from environmental descriptions to fighting seamlessly is remarkable. Louis is famous for doing copi......more
