The Lonesome Gods is Louis L'Amour's biggest and most
important historical novel to date, a sweeping adventure of the
California frontier. Here is the fascinating story of Johannes
Verne, a young man left to die by his vengeful grandfather, rescued
by outlaws and raised in part by the Indians of the desert. Strengthened
by the love of two women -- Miss Nesselrode, whose mysterious
past fires her ambitions for the future and Meghan, a willful
young beauty -- Verne grows to become a rugged adventurer, a man
strong enough to embrace the awesome power of the Palm Springs
desert, and bold enough to stake a claim in the bustling world
of opportunity that was early-day Los Angeles.
