  “The best storyteller in his genre. I read everything he wrote in one year without being tempted to divert from my goal. The key to all his stories is found in the tale of Perseus from Plutarch's Selected Lives. In his single-minded pursuit of this simple theme, Louis L'Amour crafted countless tales that inspire.”

  “Not as long as I'd like a good book to be, but it is a really good western. Really good characters and plot.”

  “ I thought this was a pretty good book. its about this kid that groes up in Tennessee. his dad is hung because he stole a horse and the kid goes to texas and works his way up to Wyoming. he gets in a tangle with a guy named Kelsey Kaxton. Kelsey Takes a herd of cows from The main guy, Chancy, and chases him down for the rest of the herd.
  
  Chancy gets a handful of cow hands and works a herd of cows to Wyoming. along the way he meets savage indians, and lots a bad guys. he makes some good friends and meets back up with a beautiful girl he knew as a kid.
  
  this book is a pretty quick read and is only about 160 pages. it keeps you on your toes for the hole book. Louis L'amour is one of the greatest wstern writers of the time and he does an excellent job on this book. definatly a read i would reccomend for everybody”

  “This is an average L'Amour story: a guy grows up, makes good, beats the bad guys with guns and fists and gets the girl.”
