Novel or novelization? That is the question one has to ask oneself. Did Louis L'Amour write it or did he follow James Edward Grant's screenplay? The back cover of the original publication--which I have--has a John Wayne quote, "The best novel I have ever read" and that's quite a feat considering the book wasn't "written" until after the movie was made. But either way, this was the beginning of one of the longest and most successful publishing ventures ever---Louis L'Amour, a phenomenon in the literary business. And without a doubt is one of his best works. The short story upon which the movie and this book is based, The Gift of Cochise, is probably better in the real scheme of things but then short stories have to be judged quite differently than longer works. And as with most novelists, LL's early works are his best with a few exceptions. I recommend you read the book and watch the movie and decide which you like better.
