This third volume of Louis L'Amour's collected stories
gathers twenty-eight tales of the American West in a keepsake
edition sure to delight fans old and new. This collection
is a thrilling tribute to the unique spirit of our frontier
heritage and proves again the enduring popularity of America's
favorite storyteller.
The essence of Louis L'Amour's timeless appeal can be
found in these unforgettable short stories. Filled with
men and women who embody the values we cherish most, L'Amour's
frontier tales satisfy our longing for the inspiration
provided by those who struggle against the odds with justice,
honor, and courage.
Open this volume anywhere and you'll discover classic
stories you'll never forget: like that of the man who
finds a gruesome mystery at the site where a friend's
ranch has vanished into thin air, or the one about the
soft-spoken young suitor accused of cowardice who proves
his courage when the guns are against him…without firing
a shot. You'll read stories of ordinary people faced with
extraordinary circumstances, from the drifter who poses
as a murdered man to solve a mystery to the grizzled recluse
who protects a runaway from a brutal "guardian" with the
law on his side.
Whether following the exploits of a couple taking refuge
in a cabin with a group of outlaws who don't intend to
let them see sunrise or a man on horseback battling sleeplessness,
Indians, and a cold-blooded killer in a life-and-death
race through a harsh wilderness, these gripping tales
all have one thing in common: you won't be able to put
them down until the last page.
For lovers of great storytelling everywhere, this exciting
collection features the unforgettable characters, heart-stopping
drama, and careful attention to historical detail that
have entertained readers for decades and earned Louis
L'Amour a permanent place among our finest American writers.
