Nice premise, good story, but the stupid girl keeps finding ways to get herself caught over and over again. After the hero rescues her for the fourth or fifth time (slight exaggeration) a realistic plot would have him throw up his hands in disgust and leave her to her kidnappers. And her father wasn't much smarter than she was.

My first book on western theme. But enjoyed it quite well. The narration was quite slow at some points, but that was hardly visible as the author pumped up the plot within a couple of lines.
The narration of the landscape and the characters give a good picture of the state of the Wild West in those times.

Louis L'Amour knows how to write good fighting scenes. Mainly because he used to box also. The main character stays with you. The story shows how doing the right thing could get you in trouble but is worth it in the end. Great read.

As usual I was entertained the whole time reading a Louis L'Amour book. This one had the typical fast pace and entertaining characters. Yet to be disappointed in one of his novels.

Superbly succinct story! Plenty of action, not too much gore, and a non-cringeworthy Irish hero. Excellent stuff!

I think that I learned a lot about outdoor survival from this book more than any other.
