As I work my way through L'Amour's westerns I can't help but relive the fun I had when I read them the first time over 30 years ago...
These books are easy to read, yet very well written. Full of western cliches, yes but some how different. And, to be fair, they are loaded with historical accuracy.
This book is just another story about the gunfighter who wants to settle down and circumstances won't let him. Done before? Yes, many times. But still done so well by this author it rem More...

I thought Kilkenny was on par with Louis L'Amour's other books. A fun, swift read.
Kilkenny had a reputation he was trying to escape when some ranchers move into town and try to overtake everyone's outfits. Kilkenny is not going to stand for it, especially when he finds out the love he has left behind has also set up a ranch in town and is now in danger.

This was just plain fun to read. If you like westerns for the action then this is a good one because it's non-stop action. It's a quick read, short and fast paced. It's actually the third in the Kilkenny series.
For those looking for a squeaky clean read - this one has some language and violence, fist fights, a knife fight and gunfights.

Lance Kilkenny fights off cattle rustlers, saves town and gets girl - typical Louis L'Amour plot. It is a good book to pass the time on an airplane, especially from Wichita, Kansas, to Chicago.

Read this a few months ago, and the finer details escape me. I've been on a kick to reread Louis L'Amour and this is one of his early books, according to my list.

First L'Amour book. Didn't love it...didn't hate it. Took a bit getting used to, might try another now that I know what to expect.

This is one of Louis L'Amour's best westerns, and he writes great westerns. Loved it. Highly recommend it.

I'm not sure this book would get published today--the POV jumps around, among other things, but you know what? Louis L'Amour tells a hell of a good story anyway.

One of the episodes in the continuing saga of Lance Kilkenny (aka "Trent"), one of the "good" gunfighters of the Old West - a fictional character of L'Amour's creation. Light reading (nothing serious) but enjoyable and entertaining.

OK, maybe this one is my favorite L'Amour--along with the 2 other Kilkenny books.

Kilkenny is one of my favorite of L'Amour's characters. A hero and a gunfighter.

The noble, western hero. You have to like reading L'amour to like this.

everyone should read a novel written in the early 1950s now and then...
