“The book contains two novellas originally published in magazines by L'Amour. They were later expanded into novels. Typical stories by the famous Western authors of lone men dealing with situations and the women with whom they fall in love.
"The Trail to Peach Tree Canyon" was published with addtional material as a novel under the same name. The "Showdown Trail", with changes, was released as "The Tall Stranger" and later adapted into the film by that name with Joel McCrea and Virginia Mayo.
No surprises for fans of L'Amour, just the usual gunplay, misunderstandings and eventual triumph of good over evil. Old fashioned stuff that once filled magazines and the pulps.”
