Louis L'Amour is a funny author. Although I've given this book four stars, I wouldn't call the writing four-star quality. I just enjoyed the pulp-western for being fun and entertaining. I don't get why the book is called Galloway, though. The book is about Flagan, and told from Flagan's point of view, and while Galloway is a character in the book, his role can hardly be called central. I assume that L'Amour just thought "Galloway" would make a better title than "Flagan." He i

This is a page turner, and no doubt about it. If you like a good story and a good story teller, if you like a good Western, pick it up. I have no idea why it is called Galloway, and the ending is a bit pat, but on the other hand, it is still a surprise. L’Amour’s language is great, his imagery classic, and his six-shooters positively explosive. Once you pick it up, you’ll have trouble putting it down again.

I gave this book four stars because, i like westerns and like the way louis lamour writs. I liked this book becase it had a boring part and then a really exiting part. I did't like this book becase when a boring part came in all they did is talk about what they are going to do. I like when they actully do it. Galloway one of the best westerns i have read.

Years ago it occurred to me that I had never read a western, so I decided to pick up a couple and this was one of them. I wouldn't say it was a bad book, just shallow. Honestly, I could gain same satisfaction watching a western as I would reading one of L'Amour's books (probably more). In short: it's a simple, fun, read, but far from thought-provoking.

No one does westerns better than Louis L'Amour. I know his prose is a little stilted and unnatural sometimes, but he's the best at telling a cowboy story.
I've been looking forward to finding the L'Amour book that began with a naked man escaping from Indians and being chased all over the rugged West, living off the land for several weeks. I read the book back in the 80s but couldn't remember the title. So when I decided to fit a western into my normal reading (mysteries), I just grabb More...

Ok, everyone might as well know... Louis L'Amour is my guilty pleasure. I've been reading them since I was eight years old and my Grandpa left me his collection. And I love them. They're completely formulaic. The good guy always wins, though he always has a good fist fight and a shoot out along the way. Oh, and he gets the girl, and the treasure. And I love it. He lived it man! Louis threw those punches, explored that land. Loved the land, the stories.

This was my first Louis L'Amour book and it won't be the last. I really enjoyed the description of the landscape. The characters were interesting and the action was gripping. The book should have been called "Flagan" instead of "Galloway".

I really like this book because I like westerns. Westerns are good at describing a time when men were more savage and laws were almost absent or not enforced.

"Galloway" is a continuation of the story of Galloway and Flagan Sackett. This story puts them trying to settle down in the LaPlata mountains near my home. It's further development of the two main characters is full and the adventures of the book are many. Scrapes with Jicarilla Apaches, Utes, outlaw cattlemen, a sniper, and even Mother Nature herself keeps this story interesting from cover to cover.

Another in Louis L'Amour's loosely interwoven series of novels about the Sackett family. I enjoyed this one in part for the occasional references to wilderness medicines and folk tales.
