2010 Large Print PB with minor wear. With more than 120 titles still in print, Louis L'Amour is recognized the world over as one of the most prolific and popular American authors in history. Though he met with phenomenal success in every genre he tried, the form that put him on the map was the short story. Now this great writer-The Wall Street Journal recently compared with Jack London and Robert Louis Stevenson-will receive his due as a great storyteller. This volume kicks off a series that will, when complete, anthologize all of L'Amour's short fiction, volume by handsome volume. Here, in Volume One, is a treasure-trove of 35 frontier tales for his millions of fans and for those who have yet to discover L'Amour's thrilling prose-and his vital role in capturing the spirit of the Old West for generations to come.

From recent Amazon/GoodReads reviews: "There are both good and bad men and women in his stories but the good always prevail with honor, courage and fairness. I have not yet been disappointed in any of his short stories or novels. Great author."; "Fantastic book!! A multitude of story telling that simply engages a reader. I suppose I started reading this book because of the short story, "The Gift Of Cochise." For those unaware, "The Gift Of Cochise" eventually became a major motion picture starring John Wayne as Hondo."; "Great read from start to finish. Inspired to read more and continue building the mental image of the people."
