Critic reviews

"L'Amour never writes with less than a saddle creak in his sentences and more often with a desert heat wave boiling up from a sun-baked paragraph. A master storyteller." (Kirkus Reviews)
Classic Western • Great Adventure • Courageous Characters • Interesting Plotline • Vivid Descriptions • Perfect Voice

Great story and even better narrator. Gave it four stars on the story just because it spent way to much time talking about the “Smokey Desert”

Loved it but…

King Bill Hale owned Cedar Bluff. Hale owned sixty-thousand acres and controlled one-hundred-thousand more. Tens of thousands of cattle grazed on his land. His son, Cub was a killer. Hale has decided that all the “nesters” are on his land and they all have to get out. The nesters include Kilkenny of course, a family of Hatfields, and several others; about fifteen people in all. Nina Riordan was in Cedar Bluff also, the owner of the Crystal Palace Saloon. Seems she moved from Apple Canyon, i.e., “The Rider of Lost Creek”. I’m thinking she followed Kilkenny. Kilkenny has a cabin in the mountains above Cedar Bluff. He came down to town occasionally for supplies. The romantic connection between Nina and Kilkenny still strong. The story continued on the nesters versus Hale plotline. The “rights” of people to settle lands granted by the government claims were stressed multiple times during the story which I found interesting. It’s true of course, I just wasn’t expecting it from Kilkenny. This is a good story set during violent times in the American West; the introduction of barbed wire on the open range.

How to Pay It Forward!

This is a very good narration on A Man Called Trent I’ve read many Louis L’more books over the years, but I had never come across this one. I therally enjoyed listening to this one.

Great naration of this fine book.
