his career, Louis L'Amour has been the subject of hundreds of articles,
interviews, essays, documentaries, and newspaper columns. His quiet
confidence, commanding presence and unforgettable voice combined for,
as People Magazine put it, "The kind of storytelling that makes the
wolves come out of the woods to listen." No one ever left an interview
with Louis L'Amour without enough material. In fact most discovered
that there was always more to be said than space allowed.
Willing and able to speak authoritatively on an incredibly wide range
of subjects, Louis must have seemed like a dream come true to those
who came to "get his story." His personal commentary on frontiers
past, present and future, recollections of the people and places he
visited while traveling the world, and his ability to enthrall and enrich
with a pointed story or anecdote make him extremely quotable. Here was
a man that had truly "been there, done that!" And though nearly
everyone commented on his rugged good looks and modest demeanor, it
is the depth and breadth of his knowledge for which he will be remembered.
