From the Publisher
No one brings to life the Old West like Louis L'Amour. Collected here for the first time, these vintage frontier stories introduce you to lawmen and loners, ranchers and renegades, gunslingers, cardsharps, bank robbers, etc. In these pages L'Amour brings to life such classic characters as the Cactus Kid, Tensleep Mooney, One-Eared Tim, and the gunfighter Kim Sartain. These are frontier tales as only L'Amour can tell them--stories that surprise like the sharp crack of a Winchester and move like the lonely howl of the wind across an empty plain on the long ride home.

Customer Reviews

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.

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.

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.
