About this Item

Hopalong Cassidy & the Riders of High Rock" 1973 hardcover written by Louis L'amour under the pseudonym of Tex Burns in 1951. In 1971-73 Doubleday sold the rights of reprint of the Mulford-Cassidy books to Aeonian Press, reprinting this edition in 1973, but were forced to stop printing by Doubleday, making this a very rare book. Four Hopalong Cassidy novels were written by Louis L'Amour in 1950 under contract with Doubleday. However, he always denied that he had written the books. Doubleday forced Louis L'Amour to re-write the books in a more juvenile manner to appeal to younger people. Because of this, Louis L'Amour always denied having written the books, and refused to sign them when they were presented to him. It wasn't until after his death that the L'Amour estate finally admitted that Louis had in fact written them, and published them under Louis L'Amour's name.
