About the author

Louis Dearborn L'Amour was an American novelist and short story writer. His books consisted primarily of Western novels, though he called his work "frontier stories". His most widely known Western fiction works include Last of the Breed, Hondo, Shalako, and the Sackett series. L'Amour also wrote historical fiction (The Walking Drum), science fiction (The Haunted Mesa), non-fiction (Frontier), and poetry and short-story collections. Many of his stories were made into films. His books remain popular and most have gone through multiple printings. At the time of his death, almost all of his 105 existing works (89 novels, 14 short-story collections, and two full-length works of nonfiction) were still in print, and he was "one of the world's most popular writers".

Reviews

[Jay Wright · Rating 4 out of 5]

The stories are like peanuts or potato chips. You cannot devour just one. I like his descriptions the best. He describes the places with such language that you can actually see it in your mind. The story usually is about a good man that has a bad reputation with a gun. His stories are similar to the Western serials in days gone by. There is always a strong female lead. They usually end up together (but not always). Good usually triumphs, but not necessarily completely.

I am at Last stand at Papage wells. This is the first time I have read this book and a re-read for the additional 4 books. Always a good re read for me.
