This is the second book that Louis L'Amour wrote under his own name (the seventh book he had published). I liked "Hondo" better, but this one was very good. Reading L'Amour is a way of experiencing the Old West as it was (except perhaps for the blinding speed of all the gunslingers). You learn so much about the times, and the story is always a good one. This is another good read by L'Amour. Recommend it to all who are fans of Westerns.

Good story. L'amour deserves the following he has. If I knew more about guns, some of this would make more sense to me.

The second western from the master. Always loved these books and they make excellent repeat reads.

If you like stories about good guys who kick butt and get the girl and the bad guys who get it in the end, read Louis L'amour. He also has a knack for describing scenery, and every canyon, spring, etc. he mentions truly exists. He was a great authority on the American Wild West which is not quite how Hollywood often portrays it.
