| Book description |
No one brings to life the Old West like Louis L'Amour. Collected here for the first time, these vintage frontier stories introduce you to lawmen and loners, rangers and renegades, gunslingers, cardsharps, bank robbers - even a "he school-ma'rm." In these pages L'Amour brings to life such classic characters as the Cactus Kid, Tensleep Moone,y One-Eared Tim, and the gunfighter Kim Sartain. These are frontier tales as only L'Amour can tell them - stories that surprise like the sharp crack of a Winchester and move like the lonely howl of the wind across an empty plain on the long ride home. There were three of them, a well-dressed Mexican with a thin, cruel face and two hard-faced vaqueros. the leader came forward. then his hand dropped to his gun and Tensleep Mooney drew. The Mexican stopped, his hand on his own gun, looking with amazement into the black and steady muzzle of Tensleep's colt. A hard man himself, he had seen many men draw a pistol, but never a draw like this. "you are far from other gringos," the Mexican suggested. "You stop me now and there will not be room enough in this country for you to hid, and then we shall see how brave you are." "That may be," Mooney shrugged, his eyes hard and casual. "I'll holster my gan an' then you can try, all three of you. Of course --" Mooney smiled a pleasent, Irish smile - "You get my first shot, right through the belly." | |

RIDE ALONG INTO DANGER
Traveling under an alias, the last thing gunman Clip Haynes wanted was attention. But Basin City needed a town-taming marshal, and a cold-blooded murderer was hiding behind Haynes’s real name. Now Haynes was coming out of hiding to protect his honor, save a town, and catch a killer—even if it cost him his life.
Lou Morgan was as tough as they came. But it wasn’t just the money or the challenge that motivated him to take on a suicide job involving a buried Spanish treasure and two greedy killers. It was love for a beautiful señorita who had left him for dead years ago.
It’s not easy being the new schoolma’am in town . . . especially when you’re a man. But Van Brady isn’t quite the tenderfoot he seems, and before he’s through he’ll teach a few hard cases a lesson they’ll never forget.
From the rough-and-tumble streets of San Francisco to the dry desert plains of Texas, from a roughshod gambler willing to wager his own life on a single bet to a killer with a heart, here are stirring tales of the Old West as only Louis L’Amour can write them, tales of men and women risking their lives, fighting their wars, and standing tall on the American frontier.
