Louis L'Amour

[Wizard272002]

Maybe Louis L'Amour ! I like to see his books here. I have not read all of his books, but I am trying.

L'Amour is a great writer; he wrote from the heart. Tough and fair, good vs. evil, humility, independence, character. Everyone should taste his writing which, on the cover, looks like just a cowboy book. Cowboy books are cool anyways and L'Amour can tell a yarn.

That one book with Kilkenny, the one where he fights a "range war," anybody remember what that one was called?

It's called "The Mountain Valley War". I have read it.

I'll try to find some websites for him, other than this web site www.louislamour.com, so I can read about him...
but really, why there's lots of cowboys style!?

I've enjoyed every l'amour book ive read. right now im flying through kiowa trail.

for that matter, ive enjoyed every western ive ever read.

one of the questions that come from reading them is to what extent they were indeed representative of a particular time and place, as opposed to a romanticized version of it.
