It was interesting seeing different versions of stories I've already read in stand-alone novels, though aside from L'Amour fans and readers new to his work, this book is a bit redundant. Since this is a collection of 4 novels, it does make a good choice for folks wanting a western to take on vacation. ( ) If I recall rightly, this is one of the first collections of L'Amour stories I read. As I've said elsewhere, I prefer his short stories (in this csse novelettes) to most of his long novels. These were originally pulp magazine stories he later turned into longer novels. Personally, I prefer the pulp versions. Product Description
"Almost four decades ago, when my fiction was being published exclusively in 'pulp' western magazines, I wrote a number of novel-length stories, known back then as 'magazine novels'. In creating them, I lived with my characters so closely that their lives were still as much a part of me as I was of them long after the issues in which they appeared went out of print. Proud as I was of how I presented the characters and their adventures in the pages of the magazines, I wanted to tell the reader more about my people and why they did what they did. So, over the years, I revised and expanded these magazine works into novels that I published as full-length paperbacks under different titles. These particular early magazine versions of my books have long been a source of considerable speculation and curiosity among many of my readers, so much so of late, that now I've decided to bring four of my 'magazine novels' back into print in this latest volume of my short fiction. I Hope you enjoy them."--Louis L'Amour

Fiction.
Western.
HTML: Ross Harney had made his decision. He sat in the middle of all he owned: a splendid Appaloosa gelding, a fine California saddle, a .44 Winchester rifle, and two walnut-stocked Colt .44 pistols. These were his all. It was a life that had left him rich in experience, but poor in goods of the world. He had known the hard-fisted reality of cold winters, dry ranges, and the dusty bitterness of cattle drives. He had fought Comanches and rustlers, hunted buffalo and horse thieves. But now he was going to ride for himself, fight for himself. .Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
