I have been reading Louis L'Amour's novels most of my adult life. I only recently came across this volume (II) of short stories. I found the short stories even better than the full length books. They were action packed, with good plots and great characters. From hard working ranchers to flaming guns to horses with the endurance that you can count on in a crisis, this book delivers entertainment and information about the Old West. The best stories were those about Chick Bowdrie, Texas Ranger, as he solves crimes and hunts down fugitives from justice.

The first volume of this set was a Christmas gift from my daughter. I then purchased this volume. It was really great reading if you like Western short storiies, and even if you don't!

This is my mothers favorite author & the fact that I could get it in large print was so helpful. She has really enjoyed it & I hope to find the other volumes in large print as well. Even as much as she has read Louis L'Amour she said she had never come across any of these short stories before.

It was a gift for my mother-in-law and she loves that author and the book was a great gift.

I ordered it for my 80 year old aunt, who was raised in a ranching enviroment.
She enjoyed it. (Frankly, I prefer Elmer Kelton.)

This is a great book and any fan of Louis L'Amour will love the read. I am reading it through a second time, already.
