This was a typical Louis L'amour book. Western, rough country, bad men vs one good man, tormented past that is never quite revealed, beautiful girl, a homestead full of trials and triumph. The only thing different about this particular story then the others I have divulged in was the use of a great poet, Tennyson. I enjoyed that angle of the book very much. Knowing that in a wild frontier a book can be considered as valuable as gold made me smile. There is hope for mankind yet, even in the midst of gunslinger bad guys.If you are looking for a simple read and like the western genre, Louis L'amour is always the go-to man for it. Personally, my favorite book of his so far was not so much a western as a frontierman in "Fair Blows the Wind."All in all, if you like Louis L'amour novels this one will not disappoint. It is a shorter story. It is a simple story. It is solid story.See more book and movie reviews at thrashdthoughts.com
