In 1994 and 1995 twelve issues of the Louis L’Amour Western Magazine were published. It was released bimonthly and contained short stories of the old and new west by both novice authors and old pros, articles on western history and travel, photographs and art. Just as the L’Amour family was planning to expand it’s format into news and editorials on current issues in the west and add more stories and travel materials, The parent company decided to sell the whole Dell Magazines division. Rather than have the magazine go to a new owner who would perhaps not retain it’s quality, the L’Amours decided to shut down operations with the hope of restarting at sometime in the future. At the time of it’s demise Louis L’Amour Western Magazine was quite successful, with over 130,000 subscribers.
