This was the first Louis L'Amour book I read and I have to say that With These Hands is a perfect introduction to the writings of L'Amour. Action-packed, each story in this collection of shorts really delivers the goods with a whole lot of punches and crime.
Yes it is true that the prose may leave something to be desired for those more inclined to reading "Literature." But I've read a lot of capital L literature and sometimes it's good to read some honest-to-goodness, slam-bang p More...

With These Hands is the last in a series of four collections of short stories written by Louis L’Amour in his early days. I belive it was compiled by his son, Beau. The included stories are clearly less polished than what he wrote in subsequent years, but you can see the unmistakable L’Amour style in them, and they carry the same themes of honor, courage, loyalty, good vs. evil, and unashamed manhood that characterized his later novels. They are a mix of war stories, westerns, and boxing tales,

My favorite Louis L'Amour books are ones that deal with the old West. Most of these stories are set in more modern settings and I simply don't like them as much. This is a collection of stories published after his death. The collections he published while he was alive included tidbits of Western history and he usually provided some link between the history and the story. This collection doesn't include that, which is too bad.

Another collection of L'Amour's early stories, including a couple of westerns, quite a few boxing tales, and some far east adventures. Generally it was a pretty good collection, I thought. I enjoyed his boxing stories more than the Far East adventures. I don't think these early works live up to his later western novels but they are not bad and if you are already a L'Amour fan you'll probably enjoy them. If you haven't read L'Amour, I wouldn't start with these short stories.

Man this is an awesome collection of some of Louis incredible work. When I bought the book I didn't realize that it was a collection of short stories about 15-20pgs long. Each story is gripping and action packed the entire way through. Great book to read if you dont have a lot of time to spend on one story.
