it was amazing

The first novel written by Louis L'Amour. What a story. John Wayne called this the best Western ever written. Maybe the statement is a bit over the top. The descriptions of the Arizona desert verge on the poetic. At its heart the book is the story of Hondo Lane, cavalary scout and dispatch rider and a woman and her son living in Apache territory. There is no stereotyping of the Apache here. Some are decent some are not. Same is true of the white men.

There is a reason L'Amour was and is still years after his death one of the best selling authors of all time.

Gary Sundell I fixed a few typos in the review I wrote when I finished reading the book earlier this year.

Bobby Underwood This is one of his best, I think.

No argument from me on that.


Gary Sundell Glad people are enjoying the review.
