RIDE ALONG INTO DANGER nbsp; Traveling under an alias, the last thing gunman Clip Haynes wanted was attention. But Basin City needed a town-taming marshal, and a cold-blooded murderer was hiding behind Haynes's real name. Now Haynes was coming out of hiding to protect his honor, save a town, and catch a killer--even if it cost him his life. nbsp; Lou Morgan was as tough as they came. But it wasn't just the money or the challenge that motivated him to take on a suicide job involving a buried Spanish treasure and two greedy killers. It was love for a beautiful señorita who had left him for dead years ago. nbsp; It's not easy being the new schoolma'am in town . . . especially when you're a man. But Van Brady isn't quite the tenderfoot he seems, and before he's through he'll teach a few hard cases a lesson they'll never forget. nbsp; From the rough-and-tumble streets of San Francisco to the dry desert plains of Texas, from a roughshod gambler willing to wager his own life on a single bet to a killer with a heart, here are stirring tales of the Old West as only Louis L'Amour can write them, tales of men and women risking their lives, fighting their wars, and standing tall on the American frontier.… (meer)

Western
  BooksInMirror | Feb 19, 2024 |
This a collection of eight of L'Amour's short stories all of which are set in the west. Most include fist fights vividly described by L'Amour who in most instances has the winner using his knowledge of boxing to beat a bigger man. Many of the stories use the plot device of a wealthy powerful man who treats all around him badly being defeated by someone younger, smarter and more honest.

The bonus in this volume is the addition in the back of an excerpt from Louis' autobiography, The Education of a Wondering Man. The excerpt from his book is one that I have never been able to forget. It is his description of taking on a job of working a gold mine near Death Valley for five days. When the owner didn't return after five days, Louis had to walk out through the desert carrying water in a tin can when he could find it. An amazing feat. ( )

Boy, does he know how to start a story. And, since this is a collection of stories he has many a chance to give us an adequate overview of his styles. ( )

Eight shorter length stories, all entertaining. These kind of remind me of the type of stories that were staples of TV westerns. This is not high-brow literary stuff. It is entertainment. L'Amour, as I have noted before, seems to always have the good guy survive a gunfight that stretches belief and he also loves giving a blow by blow step by step accounting of a fistfight. I'm sure this appealed to his core readership many decades ago but are the least interesting parts of the story to me. I find these short stories more entertaining than the novels. ( )
