Description

''L'Amour never writes with less than a saddle creak in his sentences and more often with a desert heat wave boiling up from a sun-baked paragraph. A master storyteller...for reading under the stars.'' -- Kirkus Reviews ''L'Amour is the kind of storyteller who makes the wolves come out of the woods to listen.'' -- People , praise for the author Louis L'Amour (1908 - 1988) was an American author whose Western stories are loved the world over. Born in Jamestown, North Dakota, he was the first American novelist ever to be awarded a National Gold Medal by the United States Congress for lifetime literary achievement, and in 1984 he was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

Louis L'Amour's books are always a pleasure.

This is the 2nd chronological book in the Kilkenny Series of 4 books even though it was not released until 2006. I am glad that his son and the publishing company chose to release it.

Great gift for hubby

I bought this for my hubby for Christmas. He collects Louis L’Amore books and he didn’t have this one. He hasn’t finished it yet but the main character fits the typical LL hero. The story is captivating, believable, and has some unique twists and turns. Hard to put down once he got started.

Nothing new, but a good read.

TAKE NOTE: This story was rewritten later as "The Mountain Valley War."

You needn't bother buying this earlier-version story. Mr. L'Amour reworked & republished it years later (when he was a more experienced writer), as "The Mountain Valley War." That is a much better-written & finished story.

I am giving it for Christmas and one corner looks like it was in a shredder

This isn't about the story but the book. I am giving it for Christmas and one corner looks like it was in a shredder. Will not buy any more books from here. Would not have bought it at a garage sale for $1.00. Shame on you
