Book Description
Cattlemen ride alone across the open range under the deadly aim of roving desperadoes—Gamblers stake their fortunes and their lives on a deck of cards—Strong-willed senoritas seek independence through an enticing combination of beauty, audacity, and spirit—Lawmen and outlaws walk the same dusty streets and speak a common language: Colt, Winchester, Smith & Wesson. Gritty, tough, and unflinchingly authentic, here is the West as it really was: a land where for every friend there is an enemy, for every handshake a fist, for every dispute a resolution--usually in an explosive showdown of blood and bullets. In these remarkable tales, Louis L'Amour—like the very heroes he depicts—blazes a trail across the American frontier and takes us on an unforgiving journey into the heart of our western heritage.

GREAT,

This review is from: Valley of the Sun (Mass Market Paperback)
Valley of the Sun contains wonderful storys that you can read again and again. They are to the point, sharp and concise. If you have not traveled to Arizonia or New Mexico all you have to do is read this book. Pay close attention to L'Amour's descriptions and you will be able to save your money or you will want to go so bad you can not stand it. The storys in this book are fun and easy to read. I recommend it to any one who likes a good read.

This review is from: Valley of the Sun (Mass Market Paperback)
All of the collected stories are so good and so excitingly to be read. The West is totally alive at the tip of L'amour's pen. Just couldn't believe there are so rare but still so many great minds in America that I just failed to find in the Republican or Democratic Parties nowadays. A true and great American should be just like what L'amour had portrayed. I'd promised myself that I will read all of his books whereever I could find.

Great atmospheric read.,

This review is from: Valley of the Sun (Mass Market Paperback)
A most enjoyable ride thru the old west told in nine short stories.Mr. L'Amour puts you right in the scene. You can almost feel the heat of the desert sun, taste the blowing alkali dust, see the Indians on the horizon and touch the hand tooled leather saddles. He places you right in the middle of the action and the word paintings of the Southwest are magnificent. He brings the sunsets to life and allows the reader to visualize the stark beauty of the Arizona/New Mexico deserts. The characters, both good and bad guys, are well sculpted and realistic. They epitomize the hard life that country bred and are easy to admire. Along with Larry McMurtry, Louis L'Amour makes the western a gourmet read.
