This review is from: High Lonesome (Paperback)
Riding the outlaw trail, Considine, Dutch, Hardy, and The Kiowa rob the bank at Obaro, where Runyon, an old partner of Considine's, is sheriff. With the posse hot on their trail, the fugitives encounter Spanyer, the tough old frontiersman, and his daughter, Lennie. Sparks fly between Lennie and Considine, much to Spanyer's dismay. To further complicate things, marauding Apaches stalk the area. Finally, outnumbered and outgunned, the motley crew makes a heroic stand up on High Lonesome. As the rifles fire, the ground is covered with the dead.This is a good action-adventure story from Louis L'Amour. It's always troublesome to make heroes of killers and thieves, of course, but don't let good taste get in the way of a rousing Western story. The writing is fast-paced and lean. Character development is evident, but limited by the brief 150+ page length, and the emphasis on action. Louis L'Amour breathes new life into the familiar Western cliches. This is good escapism for down time reading. Recommended. ;-)

Hard to find an average Lamour Book.,

This review is from: High Lonesome (Paperback)
Somehow, this book is special. It has some great shoot-out scenes and the title becomes highly significant once you read along. It is a good western read and although I am fairly new at the genre and even Lamour (have read 9 LL books)this is definitely a dusty trail you will want to follow un into the canyon.
