Synopsis

Ride, You Tonto Raiders

Matt Sabre is a young and experienced gunfighter but not a trouble seeker. But when Billy Curtin calls him a liar and goes for his gun, Matt has no choice but to draw and fire. To his surprise, the dying man gives him $5,000 and begs him to take the money to his wife, who is alone in defending the family ranch in the Mogollons. A combination of guilt, regret, and wanting to do the right thing leads Sabre to make that ride.

Riders of the Dawn

A young gunslinger is changed for the better by meeting a beautiful woman. A classic range-war Western, this novel features that powerful, romantic, strangely compelling vision of the American West for which L Amour s fiction is known. In the author s words, It was a land where nothing was small, nothing was simple. Everything, the lives of men and the stories they told, ran to extremes.

This story is one of Louis L Amour s early creations that have long been a source of speculation and curiosity among his fans. Early in his career, L Amour wrote a number of novel-length stories for the pulps. Long after they were out of print, the characters of these early stories still haunted him. It was by revising and expanding these stories that L Amour would create his first novels.
