West of the Tularosa - Softcover
For millions of readers, the name Louis L’Amour is synonymous with the excitement of the Old West. His brilliant stories and novels capture all the adventure and action of those glorious days of the American frontier. But for too long, many of these tales have only been available in revised, altered versions, often very different from their original form. Here, collected together in paperback for the first time, are eight of L’Amour’s finest stories, all carefully restored to their initial magazine publication versions.
These are stories of range wars and wagon trains, saloon singers and hired guns. They are tales of courage and danger, hardship and survival. And each thrilling story is presented the way Louis L’Amour originally wrote it, packed with the flavor and feel of the American West.

About the Author:
In "The Sixth Shotgun," Leo Carver has been sentenced to hang in the town of Cañon Gap. He admitted to trying to hold up the stage, but when he saw his friend Mitch Williams riding shotgun, he rode off. Leo adamantly denies going back later to kill the driver and guard and steal the gold. Rock Bannon of "Showdown Trail" is wounded in an Indian attack, then rescued by an Oregon-bound wagon train. When the train stops to stock up on supplies, Morton Harper persuades the leaders to take an easier trail that will allow them to escape an Indian attack. Bannon knows all too well that if the train takes that trail, it will lead them straight into a war the pioneers can't win.
The title story, "West of the Tularosa," tells the tale of Ward McQueen, foreman of the Tumbling K ranch. The owner of the Tumbling K has made a deal with the owner of the Firebox spread to buy his ranch. But when McQueen and his crew come to take possession, they find the body of the previous owner riddled with bullet holes. According to the law, it's obvious that McQueen and his boys killed the man to claim possession of the Firebox.
L’Amour released his first novel, Hondo, in 1953 and consistently produced 3 novels a year until his death in 1988. Since his death, more than 80 million additional copies of his work have been sold. There are more than 300 million copies of his books in print.
