No one brings to life the Old West like Louis L'Amour.

Eight Short Stories

In this paperback collection of eight stories you have no way of telling if they were written many years previous to this publication, or something Louis L'Amour had written recently. There is no publication data provided. The stories themselves are typical L'Amour, and worthy of being read. There are characters you will recognize from other stories or books, and his settings are authentic, but they lack the power and impact of what I consider his best work.

Great collection of short western tales

Mr L'Amour did a terrific job with this collection of short stories. Plenty of wild characters roaming around, fair amount of blazing Colts and Winchesters and some nice interaction of personal emotions and actions. Worth reading if you are getting back into westerns like myself. Four cactus for this critter. Crunch Hardtack

Hard to beat Mr L'Amour

A nice collection of western short stories and a novella. Enjoyed all of them. Great book to read while traveling.

A Taste of the West

A great book for Louis L'amour fans. The story, Trigonometry Tenderfoot, brought the west to your fingertips. These stories tell you about rangers, lawmen, outlaws, and ranchers. These are great stories about the people who first came to the west.
