I’m not sure why, but I’ve never been interested in “Western” fiction. Then, I had a little bit of a paradigm shift when I realized that Westerns are historical fiction, and usually about a time that I really enjoy reading about. I recently inherited a bunch of Louis L’Amour novels from my grandfather, so I decided to pick one up, and really enjoyed it. I particularly like that it has a female protagonist, which I think is unusual for Louis L’Amour, and I think that he wrote her well. I gave it 3 and a half stars because, though I enjoyed the story, the plot and events seemed very rushed (to be fair it is a small book). While I would recommend it to readers that enjoy historical fiction, it is not a novel I think I would go back to and read over and over. (

This was a fun read. A young woman and her husband and daughter are traveling to a stagecoach station near Laporte, Colorado, to take up the position of station agent there. On the way the husband is murdered, and his wife decides to take the station agent position herself. The men responsible for her husband's death are also on their way to the Laporte area, and they don't want to leave her alive. (

This is a good tale. A recently-widowed woman heads west with her young daughter to take over the management of a stagecoach station on the Cherokee Trail. She learns to love the work and the people of the west, while fighting off bad guys. The story doesn't end with her marrying any of the strong, silent types out there, which I thought was great. (
