I read my first Louis L'amour novel back in 1977. Between then and now I've read all of his works and have thoroughly enjoyed them. I consider Flint to be his best novel and I have lost count of how many times I've read it. I love the artwork on the covers of the early paperbacks and would dearly like to purchase more.

May there always be a trail leading to more stories like his.When you mix enjoyment with history reading becomes a learning lesson without effort. I am just a new can not get enough Louis L'Amour reader. Does anyone know where I can get a Complete list ? I am using the list in the books. I would like just a text list . Most of the sites have picture of the covers that make it too much of a file for my pc printer. I have about 100 plus. collected in the one year since I started. I wish there was a sequel to The Walking Drum.

My job has me on the road daily; I'm always eager to resume the Sackett adventures on audio, so far the county library has been my source. These stories, characters, morals remind me of the good adventures of 1950s tv! Thanks for the talented voice of D. Straithain--that Tell Sackett, what a hero!

I have enjoyed all the books that I have collected that Louis L'Mour wrote; and a person almost feels like they're in the story as they read it. He was a storyteller that cannot be compared unto! His travels amaze me. I am close to collecting all of his paperback books written, thou, new ones keep coming out on the shelves of his writings found in his personal possessions. Hope you find more of his writings. May there be a road!!!! God Bless!

I first started reading LL in 1978. I think the title was The Iron Marshal. Been reading ever since. Some I have read 3 and 4 times. Now I'm reading the books alphabetically, and reading the bound volumes when they come in. Louis could make a story flow like no other. I have read other Authors, but I re-read L'amour. My Son and Grandson, and Grandaughter read them also. I find that re-reading, I find things that I missed on the first or second reading. His books are like a fine wine, they need to be read slowly, to savor the flavor.

I write this at a sad time. One week ago we buried my brother John, it was John who gave me my first Louis L'Amour book when I was aged about 14. He said here read this and from then on I was hooked and have read every book since including The Sackett Companion. I will miss debating with my brother which book is best I preferred The Empty Land he liked Rielly's Luck. Good bye John thanks for introducing me to the greatest western writer ever and take care on your final journey. Paddy

My grandfather(my hero)has read Louis L'Amour books since i was a very young boy. I never could understand how he could start reading a book and not put it down for several hours. Well I got curious one day and picked up a Louis L'Amour book and started reading, I also didn't put the book down for several hours. I now find myself going to bookstores and checking my "list" to see if I can find ones I havn't read yet. I am very thankful for the website. Louis L'Amour has made a great impresion on my life. By reading his books and poetry i learn more about myself. Thank you.

I first became aware of reading a Louis L'Amour book while on my ranch located on the Verde River about 10 miles downriver from Camp Verde in Yavapai County, Arizona. The character in this novel (I don't recall the name) was riding from the Gila River, up through the Bradshaw Mountains and across to Hardscrabble Mesa on the Mogollon Rim. Suddenly I realized that the logical route to take at that time, before the advent of the Black Canyon Highway, was to drop over the East end of Mingus Mountain, cross the Verde Valley and ride up Fossil Creek Canyon to Hardscrabble Mesa. And this would take him through what,in the 1960s, was the headquarters of my ranch. I was hooked. I'm now past 80 in age and retired. I have read most of Louis L'Amour's and the last novel I read (for the second or third time) was "The Walking Drum". One of his best, I believe. I am currently reading, for the first time, "Education of a Wandering Man. I deeply regret not having taken the time to meet the man.

My dad used to read Louis back in the 1970's, and on some camping trips, I read a couple of his books along with a couple of other westerns. As we were preparing to go camping this summer, I remembered the previous experience, and took a few along. Man Called Noon, Kilkenny, then I started on the Sacketts. This was about 6 weeks ago; I've just about completed the Sackett series, along with some Chantry & Talon books. I know what I'll put on my XMAS list this year. I like the way the Tinker found his way into many of the books. He sure got around.

His books are good for anyone to read and I am hooked on him. I only have 52 of his books so far, but I am collecting them as I locate them.

Louis was one of Tom Landry's favorite authors and I was curious to find out what kind of writing would attract an NFL coaching legend. That was 14 years ago. I got hooked and passed the word along to my sons. The timeless trials and courage woven through countless struggles has encouraged me many times over; especially during extended solitude away from home. My one regret - I never met him.

My father always encouraged me to read Louis L'Amour. He loved his stories. Now, and 12 years after my dad's passing, I've discovered a most wonderful experience. I think I might have loved being a member of the Sackett family. I understand Mr. L'Amour once owned property in the Walker Basin which is very near where I live. It's a beautiful area and could have inspired his descriptions of California landscape.

I LOVE Louis L'Amour! I am a big western fan. The fact that his books are historically correct and factual is a big draw for me. I love all the neat little notes about real rangers and lawmen he put infront of his short stories. I am also a big fan of his detective short stories, like the ones about Kip Morgan. I am a die hard fan of his and will be to the day I die!!

About 20 years ago I set out on an adventure to ride and camp in the location that Mr. L'Amour made so real to me as a boy.

Louis and I corresponded a couple of times about his vision of the western town "Shalako", which he thought would be just out of Durango onsome land he owned. One summer I met him at the San Juan Club, at Tammaron, a resort out of Durango where I believe he held a Condo. He was at breakfast when I spoke with him. He said "you will have to excuse me if I seem a little emotional this morning. Yesterday was my birthday and my friends, the Rangers of Mesa Verde National Park invited me out to the park after it closed. They had kindling set in many of the ancient cliff dwellings and at dark they lit all the fires at the same time. It must have been just the way it was".

I am a legally deaf/blind college student at Western Michigan University majoring in English with an emphasis on creative writing. I enjoy reading many different types of books by various authors. I discovered L’Amour’s books a while ago. If I remember right, my first book by him was “Brionne.” I enjoyed it and I decided that I would try another. Now, after 35 books, I will always be a fan of his great stories. His detail in describing the scenery and characters of the old west is one of a kind. His books are always fun to read and have provided me with many hours of enjoyment. I wish the L’Amour family all the best. Andy

Have been an avid reader since my childhood and now that I have retired, I am indulging myself by reading my aavorite author Louis L'Amour. At present I have over seventy of his paperback books and am endeavoring to get the entire collection. Please keep us updated on all new books that you have found among his things and are now in print. Thanks for the lovely hours I have spent reading. Too bad our children do not have the love of reading that our parents instilled in us. Of course, we did not have TV and other electronic playtoys that our young people have today.

One of most prized possessions is an autograph from Mr. L'Amour along with a short note that I received just before this great person was lost to us. It is in a paperback copy of Law of the Desert Born, (the authorized one, not the knockoff). I also have many of the Bantam hardbacks, but was unable at the time to complete the collection. So if you have any of those to sell, contact me.

My mother-in-law handed me my first Louis L'Amour book, and out of politeness I took it "A western? What am I, a 22 year old African-American, to do with a western." She gave me the book because I had recently redescovered a love for reading. When I had read every book I had, I decided to give Louis a try thinking "This is a short story atleast the pain will be over quickly." Well, let me tell you. The pain has lasted almost 4 years and it has been the sweetest, most enjoyable "pain" I, sorry Louis, can imagine. Not only did my mother-in-law hand me a friend for life when she handed the book. She also gave me a common intrest and a new bond with my Grandfather. I love her for showing me the sign that lead to the path of Mr. L'Amour and his stories. And I love Louis for showing me what a Man really is and that life is made in the decisions and actions we take. My collection has grown over the years and will continue to grow in years to come. But I will never be tired or bored when I sit down at night, turn on my reading lamp, sip on a glass of ice cold water, and ride the trails or put on a pair of boxing gloves or just share thoughts with the best friend I will never meet...Mr. Louis L'Amour.

Started reading Louis in 1988 after my car wreck. Since that time I can't seem to put the books down. McMurtry and Johnston are ok but go into too much detail about sex and taking a crap and such.They just don't compare.

As a kid my Grandma introduced me to Louis L'Amour. From that point on i said that he was one of my best friends. Sounds weird but, he brought to life the people and times of the old west. His books brought comfort to me. His Sackett series was and still is my favorite. If only more families were like that. May God Bless the L'Amour family. Thank you!

The best writer of all time! Started my collection by getting a couple books from a flea market vendor in 1994. Never bought a book from a store, just picked them up here and there. Now I have the entire collection but 3. Just finished Hondo. My favorites are Crossfire Trail, Comstock Lode, Daybreakers, and Bendigo Shafter. Favorite character is Tell Sackett. Awesome books!!!

I have always respected and admired the writings of Louis L'Amour since I first opened one of his books when I was 5. I have made my career in Law enforcement and have always tried to meet the standards of my father and of the characters in Louis L'Amours novels. They have always stood me in good stead.

My husband and I have read and re-read L'amour's books. We agree with one comment previously made that most of his novels should not be made into movies. If any are, Spielburg should indeed be the film-maker. I'm teaching American lit. this year. As always, in order to get teenage boys to read, I will have some Louis L'amour books on the "borrow me" shelf.

I started reading Louis L'Amour's books over 40 years ago. I was in the Army and bought the paperbacks wherever we were stationed. At my last assignment in Hawaii, I saw in the last paperback I had bought a form about hard cover books. I have had all his books in hard cover for many years now. I have found that I can read them again after 4 or 5 years. I may remember something in the book, but not enough so as to make it uninteresting. His books are not only entertaining but also filled with history and philosophy. I learn something new every time I read one of his books. I am so thankful for such a womderful author and for the work his family has been doing since his death. Thank you.

I found your site while looking for an answer to a question. I have been reading Louis L'Amour for 37 years, when my first daughter was just five. I have collected about 100 of his books. Recently I bought 90 of his paperback books at a yard sale for $5.00. My question: Do I keep the newer editions or the ones which originally sold for .60 and .75 each? The newer ones are in better shape, not dog-eared and torn spines, but the older ones even though yellowed and battered seem more like family. I have read and re-read them and I am always suggesting them to friends for good reading. Does anyone have an answer for me?

I agree with Mr. Eberhaard who wrote in March of 2004, I think at least some of Mr. L'Amour's books should be on the "must read" selection for schools. Not only is his writing entertaining and pleasant to read, but it is truly a history lesson. It would be good for our youth to read from an American writer who did such fine research and wrote in such a comprehensible way as to make it enjoyable and as though you were really there! I have read all of his books that have been published and have everyone in my library. I treasure them so that I am even reluctant to loan them. They will be passed on to my grandchildren some day.

My dad got me hooked on L'amour westerns about two years ago. Since then I have read 105 Of his books, and I am sure a few more that I can't remember. His books are very interesting to read and I enjoy reading them, even the ones I have read once or twice before. In his novels there is excitement and danger. He was an awesome story-teller, one I shall never forget, through all of my born days.

I first read his books back in 1972 just after I got out of the Army. I have read all his books and started collecting the hardbound books from the book club. Even built a book case for them. I'm reading the entire Sackett series from the beginning again and thoroughly enjoying it (again). Someday when I retire and can't be physically active I'll always have my book collection. I can read them over and over and still learn new things. My favorite was "Last of the Breed". I've read it 5 or 6 times. When I check out of this life my son gets the books and he's excited about that (the books). Good luck in your biography research.

It was the winter of 1971-72, I was care taker at the Triangle C Ranch outside of Dubious, WY. when one of the worse blizzards to hit the area in 20 years closed off the ranch from the surrounding area. After reading the few magazine left in the house I found a large cardboard box containing paperback books. In this box were several Louis Lamour westerns. The first book I read was Crossfire Trail, and to this day I still have that book. It is one of several hundred paperback and hard covered Louis Lamour books I have. I miss not having a new novel coming out to read but, I still have the books he did write and have read them numerous times over the years. How I miss him.

I picked up Louis Lamour from my father when I was young Louis being the Author of choice in my parents house. Being an avid reader I was immediately swept away into history eagerly losing myself in whatever novel I could lay my hands on. Years have passed and I write this beside a bookcase filled with Louis Lamour books which I have read countless times and still lend to my parents when they visit. It is one of my biggest regrets that Louis never finished The Walking Drum series easily one of my favorite books ever ..... I will always wonder how the story ends. I know that somewhere out there Louis Lamour rides a horse across a vast undiscovered frontier forging his own way with a glint in his eye and a smile on his face heading for the far blue mountains.... Thank you!

All of the men in my family who read them, affectionately refer to them at a 5th grade class Christmas party when I was 11 years-old. It was the short story book "War Party". It was a little mature for me at the time, but when my Grandpa saw me rereading it perhaps a year later, he handed me a new one of his he'd just finished reading, Radigan I think, & the obsession began. I think by the time I'd reached 16 or so I'd read almost all of them, several in the ice fishing house, & was constantly looking for "the new one" to hit the shelves, as they kept doing for 3 years after I graduated from high school. I've really enjoyed the books over the years & appreciate any new info that comes up. The half-dozen fans in our family all tend to head for the seat with the best view of the room in restaurants...

I have read Louis L'Amour's books since the 1970s. I think I've read all his novels at least once. Definitely all the Sacketts books a couple of times. His research and personal experiences bring a degree of realism to his work unlike any other writer. I was living in South Dakota when I first found his books; so when he wrote of the Belle Fourche and the Black Hills I felt comfortable. I'm looking forward to the biography.

I can't remember exactly how long I've been reading Louis' books, but certainly since just before I started high school. I still have the original paperback version of War Party that my dad bought in the '70s. Louis' writing not only created characters that grasp and hold the reader's attention, but it also recreates the setting, both time and place, of the "Old West" so vividly that someone like me, who has never been fortunate enough to have seen or visited these places, can feel as if he or she has been there. Books like Bendigo Shafter and A Man Called Noon have inspired me to travel through the Rockies, from New Mexico to Montana, just so I can feel I have walked in the steps of the men and women who inspired Louis Lamour.

My wife couldn't understand how a book (or series of books) could capture someone's attention and hold it like a good ropin' horse. When I read Louis' books, I literally get lost, and she has to holler to get my attention. I handed her The Haunted Mesa, and she loved it! Now she lets me read in peace. Louis, when I go to that great roundup in the sky, I hope I get to hear you tellin' stories around the greatest campfire in the universe.

I just finished "Mojave Crossing" for about the 20th time. I have enjoyed this story for many a year. As a Teenager living in Barstow in the 40's and 50's I traveled all over the Mojave Desert and have been to many of the places Mr. Lamour wrote about. When I was sixteen I traveled the route to 29 Palms with 3 other boys on horse back and using Mojave Crossing we found what we thought was the balanced Potato Rock but could not find the entrance to the hidden valley. I have almost the complete paper back collection including his Poetry book "Smoke From This Altar".

Started reading Louis L'Amour when the paperback books stareted arriving on the discount store shelves. Didn't have the money for the hard bound. Have enjoyed his works because his research is so thorough. We live close to many of the places he talks about and the history is so interesting. You become a part of his stories. His Sackett family are so real you wonder if he fashioned them over a real family. At the moment I am looking for a complete listing of his books. We have many but in moving we have lost or misplaced many of them. Would it be possible to get a biography of him and a list of his writings? Thank you.

I can picture Louis and Ronald "the Gipper" sitting together now with Will Rodgers, Hank Williams singing in the background. We are losing all the good guys! I truely believe that Louis L'amour should be required reading in our school systems. Their is a tremendous void in void in our country and the world since his passing that will never be replaced. We were so very lucky to have him while we did.

Halloween time came along in my middle years and I read HAUNTED MESA. Good timing! Now I'm done my 7th Sackett in as many days! (Got a boring job) I'm Hooked! Much like those Catties! Although, I am not struggling to get away! I did not like the end of Barnabas. Felt wrong, like it was rushed. Waddaya think?

I've read the entire LL collection at least twice and they get better each time. It was like losing a close relative when Louis died back in '88. I truly regret that I never had the pleasure of meeting him in person. He, in my mind, was a truly great American. His books should be a required read in American History classes. I just finished From The Listening Hills and am trying to decide which one I'm goning to read next.

My father told me stories of his life in the old west, also living in Indian Territory. His stories held me in complete suspence and awe. My father passed away many years ago, but I still recall all the beautiful adventurous pictres he painted on my mind. I have read every book published of Louis Lamour over and over until they are nearly worn out. His wonderful writings always transport me to the place of which he is writing and hold me captive with awe. There has never been a better author and never will there be anyone who can fill his boots. Thanks for making the Louis Lamour website available. This is my first visit, but now that I have found it, will return often.

I have been reading Louis Lamour's books as long as I can remember.I have collected all of them either in hard back or soft. My wife made sure I got the latest one while I was in vietnam. I remember carring The keylock man and Sackett Brand on patrol. Later I had the pleasure of meeting Mr.Lamore at his house where he signed his latest book for me (Last of the Breed). When my grandson is old enough to read he will start on Louis Lamour novels.Once in a great while somebody comes along that can make a person feel like they are there while rading the book. Mr Lamore was that kind of person.

I have been a fan of Louis Lamour for many years and although I love reading all westerns, his is the only books that make me feel as if I am there to witness all the events as they happen. I have large collection of his books, some old paperbacks and a few old hardbacks, along with any new books that just released. I want to thank Beau for taking the time to research and publish his works after we all lost him (and we all lost him), he is missed by all of his fans.

Read my first Western at age of about 7 years with my father explaining such words as 'corral' and 'remuda'!I have a wide interest from Tolkien to Cussler, but when I am feeling low I grab a Louis L'Amour and reread. I have only sixteen of his books at home, but all are read again at least once or twice a year! If I won the lottery, I always promised myself a couple of months travelling the country he describes so vividly. Since I don't do the lottery, and am not keen on travel, I will never see his mountains and plains. But I only have to pick up one of his books and I am there in whatever area he is describing. A great storyteller, who is sadly missed. A.S.A-B. 20.6.04

Louis L'Amour has been my favorite author for many, many years. I have his whole collection in paperback and I have read each story several times. While I would like to donate this collection to my local library, I can't bear to part with a single one. They are like old friends to me. Each time I read one, seems like the first time all over again.

When my grandmother died she left behind a box of Louis L'Amour books, which sat and collected dust at my mom's for nearly 10 years. One day I opened Fair Blows the Wind and started to read. That was about a year ago and I have since read every book in that box and bought several more. Never had a book been able to deeply stir my emotions, but nearly every L'Amour book has and they still continue to do so. Louis L'Amour was and is the greatest western storyteller of all time and a great inspiration in my life. One day I hope to cross through the Pearly Gates, if only for an instant, to shake the hand of a true American hero. Thank you, Mr. L'Amour, for the memories.

louis's stories have been a constant companion to me since i was 15. It was by accident that i discovered his unique style of storytelling. Our television had been broken for the whole year and I was forced to read every book my parents owned to pass the time. I came across "the lonely men" and read the whole thing all at once. After that, i read every title he wrote that i could get my hands on. Even after all these years i still read "the lonely men" from time to time and it never loses its simple brilliance.

I've read many stories by Louis L'Amour. Each one has brave men and women (which is a nice change for some western stories). A lot of stories written about the west do not show women as a strong character, or at all. Mr. L'Amour shows, in his stories, that women did play a big part in help shape the west. Great storyteller. I've just finished "The Lonesome Gods".

His books (there's only a few I don't have) are what flavored the beginning of my own novel. I will find the missing ones and finish my reading, and re-reading. Speaking of re-reading ......

I started reading Louis back in 62. My father would trade paperback books with others and I found one and read it. Once I started I couldn't stop. I would lay awake, under the covers with a flashlight and read. I just could not put his books down. Once you start, he kept your riveted to the novel. I never read one I didn't light. Some more than other, but never a bad one. When you read his words, it was almost as you were there. The Sacketts were my favorites but loved them all. I never knew if my parents knew I was reading under the covers, but I am sure if they did, and they knew what I was reading, they never said a word...at least I was reading. I only wish there were more of his works out there that are lost and we could have more to enjoy. Thanks Louis for the good times. We love ya.

The year...1972....I was 15 years old...got hurt playing football and was just hanging out at home...bored silly...picked up one of my pop's books(he was always reading something). Started reading "To Tame A Land". Never heard of Louis L'Amour! Got through the first two pages and I was hooked for life! Took the book to school the next day and got caught reading it in my coach's class. Pretty dumb..he showed up at my door the next night with a shopping bag full of L'Amour books! Was I in heaven. While going to school in Davenport Ia., I got to meet Mr. L'Amour at book signing. Got his autograph and got to shake his hand. I was like a kid in the candy store! He was very gracious and he had a kind word to all. His hands were huge and he had the kind of grip that if he wanted to move something or somebody, he could. After feeling that grip, I could see him as the characters in his own books. It was one of my fondest memories of Iowa. Thanks to the L'Amour kids for keeping his stories going!

It is always a pleasure to read about his characters - Sacketts. He has a way of developing a story around their leadership strengths.

I have over 95 paperbacks by Louis L'Amour and have read each one many times. My children keep a list of the books I have and check it at Christmas and birthday time. If they find one I don't have on the list then they get it for me! I would like an updated list of books that are available and any that are coming out in the future so I can read more of his fascinating stories!!

I've never read any of his works as far as I know, but I'm sure I've seen depictions in the other media. Found a trivia question about him and found this site, which I think is excellent and may motivate me to finally read his works.

I began reading Louis L'Amour books with "Hondo" while in high school and quickly became addicted to his stories. I have read a good many more since that time and am a subsriber to the leather bound versions of his books as well. I have read "Education of a Wandering Man" three times and have learned/pick up on something new with each reading. Thank you for such a great web site and for keeping Louis L'Amour's memory alive. Happy trails!

Louis L'amour is the single best author of american western literature. I have read many books buy Gary Paulson, who is also a great author, but he does not have the flow and the realism that L'amour exibits.

I have been reading Louis L'Amour books since my mom bought me one for my 16th birthday in 1969. My dad and I have never missed a single issue. I inherited all my dad's books this Janurary when he passed on. I'm always looking for any books that I need to replace. They were a great comfort to me when I was at sea for 9 months at a time in the twenty years I spent in the Navy.

I'm only 14 yrs old and my Dad has many of LAmour's books. It was just the other day that I picked one up and started reading it. They are wonderful books and I was very sad when I found out that he had died. God bless him! and read his books. You won't regret it! Jess in Wyoming

I just want to say that I have read a number of books but nothing absorbs me into the excitements occurring in a book like Louis L'Amour's books. I love western novels and his use of language makes a person, in a way, see and smell whats going on in the lifes of these cowboys he talks about. I would also want to say that i'm currently reading "The Sky-Liners" and it is an amazing book. Sadly, since the book im reading is pretty old, im messing the last couple of pages. I am currently on page 184 where Flagan Sackett says "He turned his eyes on me." "You're a Sackett, arent...." I would appreciate it gratefully if someone who loves L'Amour like i do and also has this very book im reading to lend me a hand. Thnx

I have read and am re-reading the Sackett series, I'm not at all impressed with this rubbish. I think this is all about profit and it was never what the great man would have ever wanted.

My father read many westerns. Oh, he liked a good thriller or a mystery and if he came across a book he read it but the western was his favourite by far. I loved cowboy pictures but reading the books, I couldn't get into that. Donald E Westlake and Ed McBain were my favourites. When I met my wife I discovered her father was also a western fan. He had many books of the type but I just couldn't bring myself to pick one up. Then, what would it be, 12 years? I read The Last of The Breed. From that point on I was hooked. Now I have all, I think, of the L'Amour books -- last year in New York I asked the Barnes and Noble clerk how come no Westerns? She led me to a packed shelf in fiction and I bought the 11 volumes I was missing. I learn from the books, I'm excited by the plots and enamoured of the characters. Though Mister L'Amour has told us more than once about building my fire under a tree when I'm on the run. Forgivable. CA

Hello, dear family of Louis! My English is very rosted, but I´ll try to write some words. I am a German western writer. I started to write down my own stories in the age of 14. At this time I got some paperbacks from Louis Lamour. And these westernstories I began to love. Today I can say, that it was Louis Lamour with his western novels, who gave up inspirations to me writing my own stories. For me Louis Lamour is one of the greatest western writer who ever lived. "Shalacko", "Radigan", "Catlow", "Kilkenny" and the Sacketts - all these figures I have closed into my heart. And by this way I send up my best greatings to you Regards from Good old Germany Rolf (R. S. Stone)

Hello to the L'Amour family and new friends,from me at the bottom of our planet.It is so heartwarming to see and read that one very special man,with an extraordinary talent for writing down his love of life and history,has touched us all in so many diffent ways. I have only just started reading Louis books, the last one finished today while having been sick in bed for a week. I aim to get my own copy of The Lonesome Gods as it has touched me in ways that are a healing to the soul.I frequently take out every issue our library holds and read them to expand my knowledge of life, American history and conjures up memories of place I've passed through in your land.Reading the stories and using my imagination I can feel the sweat running down my face or the taste of dust in my dry mouth or the feel of a galloping horse beneath me,or the wind whipping my long hair about me as I sit on a boulder on a ridge and watch the sun sink slowly over the horizon.I can't get enough of these books and never will.Thank you so much Beau for continuing to print anything penned by your dad for us to share with you.

My father owns just about all of the L'Amour books and I grew up reading and rereading all of them. What ones he did not have I went to the library to get. I have read most of them so many times it is crazy, but no one writes like him.
