Series: The Collected Short Stories of Louis L'Amour

There is no story more distinctly American than the western and no writer as great

a master of the form as Louis L'Amour. In this seventh volume of L'Amour's collected

short stories, you'll find some of his most popular characters, heroes who have become

a part of our cultural legacy, as well as the ordinary men and women whose adventures

are chronicled with an immediacy no reader can resist-or ever forget.

In Louis L' Amour's frontier stories, the American West is the crucible in which character is

tested, reputations are won or lost, and life always hangs in the balance. Struggling

to survive against the elements, hostile Indians, or outlaws who prey upon the honest

and hardworking, the men and women in these tales each come face-to-face with what

they're made of-often in moments that explode with the violence of an avalanche or

the speed of a drawn gun. Here L'Amour demonstrates the unerring touch for detail

and keen insight into human nature that lend these stories the power to thrill, surprise,

and entertain readers of every generation.

A man driven by his faith in the woman

he loves survives war, Indian massacre, and near starvation only to find his homecoming

delayed by one last battle-under his own roof. To stop a range war, a ranch foreman

stands up to his boss, his men, and conspirators who seem to have both right and

might on their side. And in a town where fourteen men have already died under suspicious

circumstances, a new sheriff by the name of Utah Blaine patiently sets a trap for

a frontier serial killer.

Here are stories of honest thieves and crooked lawmen,

of dream chasers and treasure hunters, of men and women hoping for a second chance

and others down to their last. This rich and varied cast embodies not only the spirit

of the West but the timeless struggle of the best and worst in us all, on a stage

as big as the frontier itself. Full of suspense, mystery, adventure, this remarkable

collection has everything that's earned Louis L'Amour his well-deserved reputation

as America's favorite storyteller.
