Summary: 1858 a great yr.
Comment: In 1858 because Texas was getting crowded Dan Killoe, his parents and friends plus all of their cattle headed west to find new, untouched land. Along their travels they ran into the (BAD) guys who wanted to take their cattle as well as the Comanches who wanted their hair. The comancheros would steal and kill everything they could get their hands on. A mean story to keep you on yoiur seat.

Summary: Troubled Trails.
Comment: Texas ~ 1858. Dan Killoe ramrods a ragtag group of ranch families who pull up stakes and push their herds west. Searching for new country, they fight rustlers, Comanches, and raiding Comancheros. This is an ambitious novel. The story has gunfights, cattle stampedes, and a dollop of romance. In the grim desert, the water shortage for the great herd is severe. Breeding stock dangerously diminishes. Failure and lonesome death loom. Courage, loyalty, and survival are common themes. The action is swift and hard. The plot is busy. The rapid pace of L'Amour's pulp magazine origins is evident. Character development is still emerging when the book rather abruptly ends. Louis L'Amour breathes new life into the familiar elements of the Western story. Iron men and stoic women prevail. The writing has an air of authenticity that adds to the reader's enjoyment. This quick hit of lite reading rises above the mixture as before pitfalls. Excellent for armchair adventurers. ;-)
Rating: 4
Summary: A really good read
Comment: This is the first book I've read by the author and certainly not the last. Western literature is not really my forte, but I'm sure if you read this book, you will become a fan. My only complaint is that the chapters were too long and there was'nt any good stopping points to close the book. Anyone who reads as sporadically as I do, knows what I'm talking about. Great characters as well.
