About this ebook
With more than 120 titles still in print, Louis L'Amour is recognized the world over as one of the most prolific and popular American authors in history. Though he met with phenomenal success in every genre he tried, the form that put him on the map was the short story. Now this great writer—The Wall Street Journal recently compared with Jack London and Robert Louis Stevenson—will receive his due as a great storyteller. This volume kicks off a series that will, when complete, anthologize all of L'Amour’s short fiction, volume by handsome volume.
Here, in Volume One, is a treasure-trove of 35 frontier tales for his millions of fans and for those who have yet to discover L'Amour’s thrilling prose—and his vital role in capturing the spirit of the Old West for generations to come.

L'Amour is one of the best writers of Wild West novels and short stories of all time, but few know of his books on American History including the Civil War and the Native Americans and first settlers of North America. He has an amazing ability to change his writing style and take on the personalities of characters when writing from that character's point of view. The quality of his books is astounding, especially when you consider that he wrote hundreds!

This book was truly amazing. I just thought,"Wow, I wish Louis was still around to write more short stories. But volume on of these short stories were truly breathtaking." Thank-you Louis Dearborn L'Amour.

Forgotten how much I used to enjoy a good Western yarn.So descriptive that one can almost smell the sage-brush.
