5.0 out of 5 stars A must read for any L' Amour fan., February 16, 2006

By	Kenneth H. Weber (Goodrich, ND USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book celebrates the friendship that Mr. Hawkins (who ran a drugstore in L'Amour's hometown of Jamestown, ND) had with the great writer Louis L'Amour. It is interesting reading how this friendship developed, which I will not reveal here because it is an intregal part of the book. The story of this friendship gives the reader great insights into the real Louis L'Amour that you will find in no other source. Unlike a biography this book was written by a man who had a true friendship with Mr. L'Amour, because of this we get a special look at Mr. L'Amour was as a regular person, and not what a publicist would manufacture.
The author continues to advocate honors for Louis L'Amour in his hometown to this day.
