"Unsurpassed for sheer storytelling excitement, Louis L'Amour's tales of adventure continue in this new paperback series.

A great collection of his early works written for pulp magazines. He told the stories of his youthful adventures roaming the world. His heroes are in the best of western tradition - tough, handsome, rugged, honest, and they always get the woman. These stories are set in pre- WWII and WWII. ( )
