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--who 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, are selected stories from Volume TWO, a treasure-trove
of 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.
These frontier tales go far beyond the typical western
to embrace the universal themes of heroism, honor, sacrifice
and survival that L'Amour made uniquely his own. Included
in these selections are What Gold Does to a Man,
The Ghosts of Buckskin Run, No Man's Mesa, and
The Drift. From adventures in individual courage
to the stories that make men legends, and dramatic moments
of truth that can change a life . . . or end it in a heartbeat,
these are stories that capture men and women at the crossroads
of friendship and betrayal - stories that are a true celebration
of the American West.
