From fighting off the bad guys, defending your name, to looking for buried treasure, this book is full of adventure. L'Amour did his research too, when it comes to including information about geographical and historical facts from the West back 200-100 years ago.

In my opinion, some of the stories are a bit slow paced...but I like to read them anyway just for the language between characters and the way L'Amour sets the picture. He's a classic writer. (

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0553803573, Hardcover)

With more than 120 titles still in print, Louis L'Amour is recognized the world over as one of the most prolific and popular American authors in history. Though he met with phenomenal success in every genre he tried, the form that put him on the map was the short story. Now this great writer – who The Wall Street Journal recently compared with Jack London and Robert Louis Stevenson – will receive his due as a great storyteller. This volume kicks off a series that will, when complete, anthologize all of L'Amour’s short fiction, volume by handsome volume.

Here, in Volume One, is a treasure-trove of 35 frontier tales for his millions of fans and for those who have yet to discover L'Amour’s thrilling prose – and his vital role in capturing the spirit of the Old West for generations to come.
