| Publisher Description: For the westerner trouble came with the territory. Long grass valleys, merciless deserts, sheer rock cliffs, icy streams, hidden trails, dusty towns. These were the proving grounds of daily life. At any time violence could explode and on the frontier there was no avoiding its sudden terrible impact. In this collection of his stories Louis L'Amour guides us to some of these untamed places where men and women faced the challenge of survival. And for the first time, L'Amour also presents a selection of riveting scenes from western history that are every bit as exciting as his stories. |
