Free Downloads The Collected Short Stories Of Louis L'Amour, Volume 5: Frontier Stories
The stories of Louis L’Amour are built around the dramatic moments when men and women cast their fears, doubts, and pasts behind them and plunge into the unknown—into split-second decisions with life-and-death consequences. Nowhere is that more evident than in this quintessential collection of stories set on the American frontier. Here L’Amour takes us across a bold, beautifully rendered landscape where old scores haunt new lives, the wrong choice leaves unwitting victims, and strangers may come to trust—or kill—one another. Fugitives, visionaries, fortune seekers, drifters, and young women trying to build homes on a lawless frontier, the characters in these pulse-pounding stories are vintage L’Amour. Together in this vivid, rollicking collection, they bring to life the spirit of adventure and confirm Louis L’Amour’s place in the pantheon of American writers.

I've read several of these stories and they're great. I'm not sure I can agree with the reviewer who said the stories are not by L'Amour. As I look at the index, I note numerous stories which have appeared in previously published versions, such as the "Ghost Maker" and the "Cactus Kid" stories. So if these are not authentic L'Amour then they weren't years ago either when they appeared under his byline. In any case, these are a great read!
This is one of the volumes in the complete short stories of Louis L'Amour. Mr. L'Amour, along with Zane Grey, are considered to be the best western writers ever. I think enough of this writer to have bought all six volumes, including two volumes of non-western stories. These are some of the most entertaining storie ever. written.
Excellent, as always. I have read all of these stories before in his paperbacks but wanted them in ebook format. I have always greatly preferred his short stories, and this ebook reproduces them faithfully and, more importantly, in easy-to-read form.
the more I read the more i appreciate what it takes to be an excellent writer as to a writer. L'amour has been there and donr that so he can back up his writing. I've been to many places we writes about , so it's more real to me .
Louis Lamour is a great storyteller. They often have an ending one cannot envision and they are of the old school in that they almost always turn out OK in the end even though sometimes there are suprize endings. I have all 5 books of his short stories and they are all good.
My bookcase contains 19th-Century material almost entirely. Many authors. I'm a big collector of Louis L'Amour books. He knows how to tell 19th-Century stories, albeit it fiction, better than any author I've read. Will order more books.
This only had a few more stories that I had not read from L'Amour. Still, for anyone who likes a nice series of good Western short stories, this is a decent book.
An enjoyable collection of western short stories!! Nobody does it like Louis L'Amour! It's like watching those old black and white westerns on TV on Saturday mornings.
