✦ Synopsis


Cattlemen ride alone across the open range under the deadly aim of roving desperadoes. . . . Gamblers stake their fortunes and their lives on a deck of cards. . . . Strong-willed seΓ±oritas seek independence through an enticing combination of beauty, audacity, and spirit. . . . Lawmen and outlaws walk the same dusty streets and speak a common language: Colt, Winchester, Smith & Wesson. Gritty, tough, and unflinchingly authentic, here is the West as it really was: a land where for every friend there is an enemy, for every handshake a fist, for every dispute a resolutionβ€”usually in an explosive showdown of blood and bullets. In these remarkable tales, Louis L’Amourβ€”like the very heroes he depictsβ€”blazes a trail across the American frontier and takes us on an unforgettable journey into the heart of our western heritage.

Louis L'Amour is far and away the most famous name in frontier fiction. His short story output was so prolific that many gems he originally wrote for magazines remained uncollected--until now. This book brings together nine of these tales and reveals the author at the height of his powers.
