Please HELP! I recently inherited an oil painting painted by John Leone. I know that the art was on the cover of one of Louis L’Amour’s books. It is of 3 cowboys and a pack horse in front of tall desert peaks in the moonlight. The first and the third cowboys are pointing pistols in the air and middle cowboy has a rifle across his lap.
Does anyone know the name of the book that this painting is on?
Being a collector of books by LL, I have been all over The United States in search of different cover art and am still in search for about six different novels.... I love the cover art so much, that I will buy other versions of the art work for one book. I have a few that I have three different covers, a leather version and a paper back and they all have another illustration... In my search, I don't think its from 'Crossfire Trail', unless its one I hadn't seen before. (wish we had photo capabilities) What I did find is about as close as I can Get is from 'The California's' I hope this will help you... Thanks my friend for the search which I enjoy doing....
Somewhere I have seen an internet page with historical pictures of the cover art. Not sure if it is on this site or the LL Facebook page. There was a commentary by Beau so it is an authorised page.

Wish we had picture posting? Interesting, on this site I found a comic book section that featured western paperbacks... Ace paperbacks sold two complete novels including 'Crossfire Trail' and another for .35 cents....
Also saw a Bantam paperback of Silver Canyon for .25cents....A couple others with the CORGI title.. Remarkably, I found about thirty different cover art on 'The Daybreaker's' alone...
This is not a cover that I remember. Maybe a foreign edition.
There isn't one page with all the cover art but each book's, "more info" page has a selection of past cover art. It's not complete but it is what Paul could find on the web.
Dear Sir; Thanks for your response. I have tried numerous times to get results from your web-site and it keeps giving me 'No Results found'...I have checked, double checked the accurate wording, double checked and triple checked. I copied and pasted to another site without results. Is there any other way to offer so I can check this out/ Would appreciate.
Go here. http://www.louislamour.com/community/titlesbygroup1.htm It's a list of the books. Pick a book, scroll down and there is a section called "Historical Releases" that shows the various covers.
Thanks for the info. Found another site that shows them all, then another one by book.... Looking through this site, I found at least thirty different 'Daybreaker's' cover art...… Has anyone on the forum seen a LL calendar?
I have about 8 Calendars. The first I bought led me to Frontier and then I purchased from this site until they were stopped. All except one in mint condition. My new secretary decided to mark her birthday on one. It took 5 seconds for her to find out she had done wrong :7
