LEGEND OF
THE WEST

It's God's country, and the Devil's country. Where a hired killer cherishes a strange code of honor. A young miner hauls dangerous freight - a fortune in gold and a beautiful woman - through treacherous territory. The town drunk wakes up one day - with the town deserted. Apaches bring a lone white woman a surprising gift. It's the great American West. Savage and sweet, two-fisted and big-hearted, like no other place on this earth.

LOUIS L'AMOUR

Our foremost storyteller of the authentic West, L'Amour has thrilled a nation by bringing to vivid life the brave men and women who settled the American frontier. There are now over 140 million of his books in print around the world.

I try to maintain page numbers for audiobooks even though obviously there aren't any. I do this to keep track of pages read and I try to use the Kindle version page numbers for this.
Synopses marked with an asterisk (*) were generated by an AI. There aren't a lot since this is an iffy way to do it - AI seems to make stuff up.
When specific publication dates are unknown (ie prefixed with a "Cir"), I try to get the publication date that is closest to the specific printing that I can.
When listing chapters, I only list chapters relevant to the story. I will usually leave off Author Notes, Indices, Acknowledgements, etc unless they are relevant to the story or the book is non-fiction.
Page numbers on this site are for the end of the main story. I normally do not include appendices, extra material, and other miscellaneous stuff at the end of the book in the page count.
