Short Stories by Louis L'Amour
In this collection of nine vintage stories from Louis L'Amour, known as either America's favorite storyteller, or the best selling western author of all time, we are to believe these are stories he wrote sometime in his past. But how can we be sure? There is no publication data listed for any of them, and I find it neglectful on the part of the publisher or the editor who compiled this book not to inform us of where these stories came from. Where they in magazines long ago? Had L'Amour written them long ago, yet they were never published? Or, just how old were they? For many this might not matter, but it does to me. As to the stories themselves, there are typical western fare about cattlemen, gamblers, lawmen and outlaws; and they make for decent reading. Not L'Amour's best by no means, but readable.
