Thank you for visiting our pages. We would love it if you would Add to this guestbook we are keeping!

y father, a life long rancher and outdoorsman, owned and read all of Mr. L'Amour's books. He died the same day as Mr. L'Amour in 1988. The Del Norte, Colorado public library dedicated its collection of Louis L'Amour's books to my father, Arlie L. Wood. My ancestors lived the western life. My uncles rode for Charles Goodnight in the early part of this last century. I have lived the western life and Mr. L'Amour's accounts of life in the west are true.

I have been reading Louis L'Amour for more than 25 yrs. I now read his books to my sons. We love to listen to the audio tapes of his books when we take a trip. I hope one day to be able to take my two boys on a vacation where the land is still wide open like it is in his books so they can actually see the land he talks about in his stories. I feel these books and stories and videos made about his books are much better for them to see and hear than most of the trash that is on TV today. I have many of his books and I am still trying to find a few that I don't have. I am so happy to have found this website so I can continue to search for the books I haven't read.

I have read all of the L'Amour novels-more than once. In my opinion, Louis L'Amour is the all-time greatest writer. I have all of the published books to date, either in leatherette, hard back, or paper back. I always go back to these books for reading pleasure.

I was never really interested in Louis L'Amour before. I never even knew he existed nor the fact that he was such a great author. My grandfather used to always read his books, so I figured that I would start buying him Mr. L'Amour's books. My grandfather had just about every book ever written by him. Sometimes he would read them 3 or 4 times each. I never could understand why until the sad day when he passed away and I swore to him and myself that I would collect all of the books that Louis L'Amour ever wrote since my aunt stole them all and sold them. I never thought that I would actually read them until my librarian told me to try one book and see how I liked it. I grabbed THE CHEROKEE TRAIL since I'm half cherokee anyways and found out that I actually enjoyed them and each time I'd read a book, I would feel that my grandfather was sitting right next to me reading them with me and telling me that he knew I'd read them one day and that it made him proud that I finally decided to. I found this website by chance because I needed to get a list of Louis L'Amour's books and I finally found it. Thank you very much for posting this website. I feel my grandfather here with me right now. Thank you so much!

I first have to say I grew up watching westerns with my father. As I grew I tended to lean towards the more viloent westerns as my dad stayed with good old traditional stories. My first introduction to L'Amour was off the Mangrove Coast. I read the book and really enjoyed all the stories within. After that, I thought, the westerns might not be up to my standards because they were a little too timid. My next book was Fallon, and from there I was hooked. I spent my summer vacation reading a book a day. I am not even kidding, within 5 days I finished, Reilly's Luck, Beyond the Great Snow Mountains, and The Shadow Riders. I still have 5 days to go!! Although, my wife keeps asking me to get up and do something on our vacation--all I have to say: To agree with L'Amour's memorable quote when asked why type so fast-"I can't wait to see what happens next"------Thanks for the wonderful oppurtunity to enjoy the greatest stories of all time--everyone keeps me thinking for days and adds new characters in my life forever!

Have been an ardent follower and reader of Louis L'amour from my teens. I find inspiration and a drive to feel free reading his books. Reading mostly all his books I have always admired a his drive and motivation to write such books and the creativity and research involved in the creating of characters and the intricate details with which he writes. God bless him for the coutless hours of reading pleasure and the motivation and character that he has given me as a person.

I started reading L.L. books because of my grandfathers collection. Now I have my own collection of Louis Lamour books. I have read them many times. Louis Lamour is and always will be my favorite author. I love all his new short story books. However I do miss his full length novels. He is definitely missed. He was simply the best western writer ever!!!

It is a privilege to be able to sign this guest book. I have been an ardent fan and reader since the late 1960's. I have often felt I was born about 150 years too late, and Louis' books have allowed me to live vicariously in those times. Many thanks, Mr. L'amour. I will always remember you as an excellent story teller.

I started reading Louis L'Amour books in Highschool, after seeing a movie based on one of his books. I believe it was the Sacketts, and read the book just to see how closely the movie followed. I have been hocked ever since. WHile I prefer his old west themed stories, the short stories from other time periods are also excellent, I have just finished Wings Over Brazil, and it was great. To paraphrase one of the other signors of the guest book, God Bless Louis L'Amour- America's Story Teller.

1976 was the year I picked up my first LOUIS L'AMOUR book. I was in the U.S. NAVY and his books were a constant companion on all those long voyages at sea. I still reread all his writings and so do all my children. There are a lot of family virtues and honor that has helped with the upbringing of all my children written in his books. Thank you Mr. L'AMOUR and family.

Just discovered this site.Read "Heller With A Gun" in '62 while being stranded at airport. I was 14 an avid reader,but didn't know LL. I remmember this book in detail, but did not read another LL 'til '79. "The Lonesome Gods", about an area I know about!When it says LL researched...He researched! I know that desert in the '50s not changed much from when LL had been there.I have garnets that I found rock hounding on garnet hill,in the high desert by Barstow, just as he discribes the giant finding to use in his ravens' eye. Also many other sites around Palm Springs and early Los Angeles.This Hooked me, I joined the Collection and have received and read every single book in the collection, 120. Receiving "With These Hands" today! I also have silver ore and native silver fron Nevada, "Comstock Lode", A Walrus tusk Letter opener(350 yrs old) "Sitka". I also have a copy of Congressional Medal LL received from Congress, also the last two books,"The Haunted Mesa" and "Last of the Breed" signed by LL, I have many of the promotional items and the calenders, am seeking any that I haven't got. My father was much Like LL, but had married earlier, he still told me of many adventures he had experienced. They were both born in 1908 and passed in 1988 within a couple of months of each other. My father being born in Oklahoma..I've often wondered if their paths ever crossed. Wish I was a writer my fathers life in the '20s, '30s and WWII was very eventful,much like LLs' Thanks Beau for this site and all you and your sister are doing to keep it all going, I know for myself and many,many others it is from our hearts. Every teen I get turned onto LL I know they are getting the moral guidance they are missing in our society today, like I received from my father and was reenforced by reading LL, Thanks and God Speed, DEH

My father got me started as a reader by setting me in his lap in the evening and reading to me.Later he gave me a L'Amour book and I was hooked!I only wish Louis was still writing and I could buy him a good meal and hear his voice! He has filled many long hours with warmth and solid entertainment when I was laid up or really needing something other than lifes problems to focus on.May God Bless you all as you continue to carry on.I think I have 108 of his books now and sadly Dads too.We live in Ohio but one of Dads beloved places was Mesa Verdi.Dad was in WWII too-in the ETO and the Pacific Northwest.Thanks again-Dave Townsend

This site is a wonderful tribute to your father and a tremendous way to memorialize him and his works. I had never heard of Louis L'Amour until my brother died in 1995 and he left me his LL collection (99 books). I started with the Sacketts and I've been hooked ever since, and I'm 71! I just finished the compelling "The Walking Drum." My search to find a sequel led me to this site. To find no sequel exists is a huge disappointment. (I will have to assume Mathurin finally found his lost love, after a long and treacherous journey). Louis L'Amour made history come alive. His books abound with profound wisdom. They should be considered automatic text book reading. I intend to add to, and finish my brother's collection. You have a site to be proud of.

i started reading the other letters, and was so happy that i wasn't the only reader of such a great author. My family sees me pickup an LL book, and it's the same remark everytime. You'll have it done today won't you? I usually do. You can't lay one down to come back to later. They just aren't written that way. There are no slow spots, or anywhere you can lay it down till later. You start it, you read it to the end. Thank God our generation had a man like that, that could so mezermise so many readers. I can see why we keep buying them, some over and over, and keep reading them again and again. I've always been a country boy, and have had some pretty good axperiences, but know I could never put into words, like LL does, and make it anywhere near as interesting as he did. We lost a great man when LL passed on, but can you imagine his audiences now? I hope someday to hear the stories first-hand. Thank You...

Passage through and a reasonable comprehension of his expanded 'frontier record', is one of today's few remaining 'accurate' opportunities to experience that unique period of man's inter-ralationship with environment, nature and fellow men. A period now gone to us, a time "Gone-With-The-Wind" as Margaret Mitchell would recognize.

I have read Louis L'Amour books for ages. I don't recall when I read his first book but the story I have to tell is fantastic. I just introduced his books to an eighty one year old man who had not read a novel in his life. He is hooked and has kept me running to the Library for more. He is reading about the Sacketts now. I think he must read day and night. I think it is fantastic. I bought him a western by another author. He started it but never finished it. It is Louis L'Amour books he wants.

I started reading Louis L'Amour books when I was 12yrs old, I haven't stopped since. I am in his leather back book club and love it. Like he states in his books, he feels his a story teller of the old days and I feel he truly is in a sense. I feel everybody should read one of his books, I feel his heroes teach everybody a sense of morals. allan

I have read all of the books that I am aware of, and I have found no other author that can fulfill my literary needs. As a teacher, I have read an enormous amount of books, and have come to the conclusion that Louis' ability to describe accurately and succinctly is unparellelled. I use him as an example frequently for my students. When Louis died, I was a young teen. It was the first celebrity death in my life that really affected me.I even wrote a song about him. Sadly, it is gone, but the sentiment remains. Thank you for your work in continuing his legacy, and giving us so much more of his life and works.

What can I say that hasn't been said a million times already? L'Amour was the greatest. I've read every book of his that I have found. My favorite is "Flint". As a trucker I get to travel a lot of roads that he writes about. I recently purchased a western novel by another long time western story teller and can't get through the first chapter. No one tells a story like Louis L'Amour. Thanks for the site

I began by wanting to compare the movie version of Crossfire Trail (I thought it excellent) with the book upon which it was based - I got hooked real bad. I loved the book version very much and have continued to read his books just about as fast as i can get ahold of them. I really like his style and the types of characters he brings to his stories and what he has to say about loyalty, honesty, justice, freedom and the folly of choosing a life of crime. I am especially interested in the Hopalong Cassidy and Kilkenny stories. I haven't yet got to the Sacketts, except for The Daybreakers - excellent.

As I read some of the comments of other fans I tried to remember the first Lamour I had read, only after printing out the list of books did I see the title SITKA. I thought I had read all of his novels at one time or another I find I have some to catch up on. My wife and I both find ourselves engrossed in the stories and time slips away from us. To have met your father would have been a great honour and yet I feel as if I already know him. This site is amazing and a tribute to the standard your father set in all that he did.

My grandpa began reading Louis L'amour, Zane Grey and many others long before I was born in 1970; however, Louis was his favorite by far. He never missed reading any of his books except for the last short story published this year, due to his death in September 2001. Between the Louis L'amour Collector's edition my grandfather left me and the various hardcovers plus paperbacks I own, I have 65 of his books. I dearly miss my grandpa, but reading a Louis L'amour now and then brings me closer to him. Maybe I'll complete the collection eventually.

I began reading Louis' work when I was in Junior High School. I enjoyed them so much that I started buying all that I could find, and by the time that I graduated from High School I had almost every book he had written. I have missed some of the newer books, but I am only missing about 8 books in all. I hope to be able to buy them here. Thank you for all of the enjoyment and pleasure that I have had for the last 18 years. I hope that Louis' children go on to earn their own name in writing someday and continue the awesome storytelling that Louis began.

I recently checked this website. Great work! When I read my first Louis L'Amour back in 1973 I have never read another Western author and I stopped watching westerns for quite some time. It was many, many years before I could of appreciated a western movie. I do not recall if I started back looking at them when Ben Johnson and Sam Elliot brought some of Loius's books to life on the big screen. Louis L'Amour, the genuine,the authentic, the real Mc Coy. Simply the best. Keep up the good work Beau.

I started reading the hand me down Louis L'Amour books my father gave me when i was about eight years old. I have had the pleasure since then of reading and re-reading all of his books many times over. I find reading one of Louis's books is like getting reaquainted with an old freind. I hope future generations recieve the same great pleasure of reading from this author that i have.

I have had the pleasure of Reading LOUIS L'AMOUR Novels since I "discovered" him while serving in the Marine Corps in the mid 1960's...I have almost every book that has come out in print since then, and have highly recommented all of his writings to many, many people over the years. LOUIS L'AMOUR is the only name in American Historical Fiction Writing. Zane Gray would have loved to have learned at L'AMOUR's side. This website recently introduced to me, is a godsend, and the audio books keep me company on many hours of road travel, and have become quite a "companion". Keep up the GREAT site and helping to keep LOUIS L'AMOUR ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! for all of his millions of fans

There has never been anyone like Louis L'Amour, and it is unlikely that there will ever be anyone like him. He has brought the old west alive again for millions of us with his superb storytelling. I envy you the opportunity to keep his light burning so succeeding millions can share what we got from him.

I had not read any Lamour books before reading "Education of Wandering Man." I was hooked. The man lived the life he wrote about. The boxing stories are amazing. He wrote what he knew, as Twain suggested. I can't wait to read, {and hear (via audio books}, what he wrote.

I began collecting Louis L'Amour novels a while back, and have read through my collection several times. His characters, places, settings, and situations are very real and believable, and more than a few times I've felt like I was right there in the story, being an observer to the fast-paced action. There are many other good Western writers, but there will only ever be one Loius L'Amour.

That was in 1976 and I have been going thought my collection of books so I can introduce my 9 year old son to them. I was very happy to see this on the web. It is almost like haveing Mr Louis L`amour back with us for a little while. I remember at his death wondering what I was to do with my time spent reading.

I am an avid reader, an a wanna-be writer. I read lots of mystery novels, but reading Louis L'Amour is very relaxing, and yet action packed with adventure. I travel the old west with the Sacketts, or numerous other L'Amour characters. My dad has read every one of L'Amour's books four or five times, but I have only just begun. I look forward to the journey.

I have read all 4 times, except "With These Hands" and "Beyond The Great Snow Mountains" and am reading for a fifth time through. I'm checking my inventory against the listing in this Web Site to make sure that none have been missplaced, as I'm always packing a few off with me when traveling. For my money there isn't a storyteller to equal what Louis L'Amour put out!

I've been reading books by Louis L'Amour since I was in the sixth grade. I'm in the tenth grade now and he is still my favorite author. Nobody else can even come close to his art of combining amazing characters, breath taking descriptions of scenery, and action packed story lines. He is by far the most talented author that I've ever read, and that I'll probably ever will read.

Being new to Louis' work I've discovered that the ease of reading, the naturalness of the characters' was a hard work of love. He's 'been there, done that'. The characters are well developed in an easy style. Were you to compare him to John LeCarrie, LaCarrie would lose. The mind of the character is upfront from the first page to the last and, while seemiong simple to read, the work really portrays the local and the way some of us men would like to be.

I have read all of Louis L'amour's books that I could find, many more than once. Everyone of them had some nugget of information and inspiration in them. I would have been honored to have met him. I was hospitalized a few years ago with extensive 3rd degree burns. Some close friends, knowing how much I enjoyed and treasured Louis' books, got me a boxed set of his audio tapes for me to listen to while I was there. The stories were a great help and comfort to me during my stay, reinforcing me to have the strength and will to do what I had to to recover. There are far too few people like Louis L'amour for our young people to look up to. I can never get enough of his stories. My thanks and appreciation to his family for continuing to share his personal and professional life and stories.

The first Louis L'Amour book I read was "Jubal Sackett", which I picked up in a library about ten to twelve years ago. I was hooked! I have since collected all the Sackett stories and the Sackett Companion. I have really enjoyed reading the longer stories of "The Haunted Mesa", "The Last of the Breed" and "The Walking Drum". I find that I not only enjoy the story content, but I usually have an atlas beside me as well so that I can follow in the footsteps of the characters in the books. If I ever get to travel overseas again, I hope to get to the Four Corners area of America and see some of the places and towns that he wrote about. Keep up the good work with the web site.

just retired from teaching at the high-school level after 38 years. For the last 20 I taught a class called the American West. As part of the class my students were required to read several novels, including Louis L'Amour. Many became big fans and when I see them around town after graduation, they let me know they are still fans and continue to read his books. The class also used his short stories and several of his movies. It was fun to see so many young students get hooked. I heard Louis speak in Durango, Colorado at Ft. Lewis College and you could have heard a pin drop, he was such a great story-teller!

Sinse my retirement I`ve been to catalog all of the novels I have of his. I`s been real a challege since I`ve been reading and collecting his books for over forty years.

I started reading LL books in 1980. I was working at a home for delinquent boys and they had several in the library. I got hooked then. I started collecting them several years later. I have all but "The Sackett Companion","A Trail of Memories", and the one that has just come out this year. Many of the books I have I bought in Zimbabwe, Africa at used book stores. Some of them are not published by Bantam, but by Corgi. Those I need to replace with Bantam editions. I have two or three first editions in paperback. Those are kept in plastic. I can't say what my favorite is. There are so many good ones.

Gweru, Zimbabwe - Wednesday, June 26, 2002 at 07:04:06 (PDT)

I began reading Louis Lamour books shortly after meeting my wife and her sister who were already big fans. I was hooked by the first one I read, which if I recall correctly, was 'Hondo'. I believe I own and have read almost everything ever published under his name in book form in the ensuing 25 years. Most of them I have read at least 2 or 3 times. They're like old friends. I am probably missing a few but I would have to do an inventory with an updated list to figure out which ones. There are also a few I would have liked to have seen him write which he didn't get a chance to. Among them would be enough Sackett novels to fill in the time line of the many generations of this family. I would also have loved to have seen a sequel, which I believe was planned, for the novel 'The Walking Drum'. I enjoyed very much his 'Kilkenny' stories and finally I loved how he intertwined the lives of the Sackett, Talon, and Chantry families. Thank you for keeping his work alive.

I picked up my first LL book at a yard sale back in 1984...I had known of people who were fans but even though I am an avid reader, I never was introduced to LL until quite by accident. "Heller with a Gun" has hooked me for life. I have read most of his titles and I am trying to fill in the blanks of the titles I am missing. My wife & I recently bought a house on some property and have bought horses to ride and we feel like we are living the "cowboy dream". I am starting to re-read the collection with a different frame of mind...his words open up a whole new meaning for me now...when I first read the collection, I'm afraid I didn't savor the true feeling as I am enjoying it now...

I found one book in that van and now when I start LL novel I can't put it down. That was "Flint". I love the way you travel back and as read it is as you are right there, a witness to the whole thing. Thank you for keeping those stories coming. My kids are now reading them.

I am from India and have been reading LL Books for close to 15 years and over the years I ahve painstakingly collected all his books, right up to the latest ones. In my opinion he was the greatest writer to ever live. In fact one big reason for me dreaming of coming to America was bacause of what he wrote in his books.

I first noticed as a little kid that my uncle had a whole bunch of books written by a man named Louis L'Amour. When I was in my early 20's I had to have back surgery and while I was recovering he gave me The Lonesome Gods. I have spent the past 10 years reading Mr. L'Amour's faboulus works. I feel that he has become more of a friend to me than just a author. He was and still is the greatest story teller that ever put a pen to paper. I am so thankful that his family is keeping his spirit alive by the great works they are doing. Mr. L'Amour would be so proud.

I have loved to read all my life.I am a great fan of your father.I can see the tremendous amount of research he did for his different types of stories. I would love to see an article on how it was to grow up with Louis as your dad.What was an average day around the house like? Was Louis a strict father or a very easygoing dad? I'm very pleased you are making more of his material available.Keep up the good work. ps.When are we going to see a novel by Beau LaMour?

I have been a fan for quite some time,but never had the opportunity to write and let you know how much I like your father's stories. Your father's books are the reason I enjoy reading as much as I can,not just his books, but others as well.When I was about thirteen or so,I had managed to get myself grounded for doing something[I can't remember what it was,but I'm sure I deserved it.]Anyway my dad had some westerns that he told me I could read to help the time go by faster.I read eight books in two days, all of wich were Louis L'amour.Since that time I've read all of his books that I could get my hands on,I've also continued reading others as well,as it is nice to have a variety of different things to draw from when your talking to friends and family.One of my favorite boks is The Walking Drum i was wondering if your father had managed to get started on a continuation of Kerbouchard's tale before he passed away.We[my father and me]hope to see more of his words in print soon.Thanks for the best memeries.

I have been reading and collecting Louis L'Amour's books for close to twenty years now. I have always kept one set of them and have resold several sets. They always sell at twice the price of other used books at garage sales and used book stores. I appreciate the authenticity of the settings and the realization that they existed. I grew up on a Wyoming Ranch and have worked and traveled the whole state. One would be able to survive in the desert or wilderness just from the knowledge learned from his writings. He was a great philosipher and so much of what he said is timeless as it applies to life. Thank you for keeping the tradition going and the L'Amour material available. I also have a collection of his calendars. Ben

I've been a Louis L'Amour fan for some years now and I am glad to find this site! Louis made a comment about education that I ended with the phrases educaton should give people a "tollerance for others and a mind that can explore in any direction." It seems to have been printed in Time Magizine in 1988, the year he died. If anyone cand find the full quote and e mail it to me I sure would be grateful. I am a school counselor and I want to post that quote. It was a good philosophy. Thank You. -Frank

L'Amour is the only man to have taught me more about life than my father. His stories strike a chord in me, somewhere deep down inside. He makes me wish I was born 100 years ago, riding the dust and the trails he writes about. The Walking Drum is his best work and one day high schoolers will be comparing his work to that of the other great storytellers, like Homer and Virgil.

I have always loved western anything...from books to guns and horses..I started reading Louis L'amour in the late 50's and still re-read them today...I can get lost in one of Louis L'amours books and it is as if I am there..The Sacketts are my favorite, but I love them all...I wish I could have met Mr. L'amour..There have been three people I so desperately wanted to meet...Carl Smith ( country music singer ) Jake Hess (gospel music singer ) and Louis L'amour. I met Carl Smith and Jake Hess but somehow was never at the right place at the right time to meet Mr. L'amour...God bless the L'amour family for giving me some happy hours spent reading the best western books in the world.

I've been reading Louis L'amour since as long as I can remember reading anything, and I've always loved the stories. Now I'm in my thirties, a successful lawyer, and a writer myself. While the stories I write are science fiction, again and again I find myself drawing on the interactions of characters in L'amour novels and stories to support my own writing habit. Because they have been characterized as "pulp fiction" Louis L'amour's stories about the old west have been criticized by some as not truly 'literature' in the college course sense of the word. I have to say that of all the classic works I've been required to read, no one has ever provided the depth of physical description of terrain, the believability of characters or the excitement of action as well as Louis L'amour. I am a true fan. My favorite, by the way, is "FLINT".

Raised in Okla. with the tales of Jessie James and the Daltons, it seemed a natural choice to select a western novel while standing watch during my Navy days. Those authored by Louis LAmour quickly became favorites, seeming to bring to life not only the story but the location. He is missed, but as long as the books and memories remain, he's not really gone. Thanks for the web site and the chance to continue my discovery of the man and his works.

Sir, I got hooked on the Sackett series and I was genuinly saddened by the death of Louis Lamour. I was (regretfully so) angry at him for leaving us. He was not only the most prolific writer I have ever encountered, he was almost like a member of my family. Additionally, Tom Selleck is the epitomy of what a "Sackett" is and I would love to see him play Tell Sackett in as many movies as you chose to make. Please keep the residual works coming. Regards, A Fan Forever

My husband has been a fan of Louis L'Amour since before i met him in 1980. Since then i have read his books along side my husband. They are very interesting and quite enjoyable considering i like science fiction. All my husband will read is the L'Amour books we have all of them including the poetry one. That one was a surprise to him as he once said i can get him the books but he will never have a complete set, due to that one having been printed with so many copies. When it came out he was very excited to get it for Fathers Day that year. Thanks again for some wonderful stories to read and listen too.

Thank God for him , he blessed us as a nation, a people , and as individuals . Thanks Mr. L'Amour .

My first LL was Borden Chantry when I was 14 and there was no stopping me. Originally from India, it was extremely difficult to get hands on an LL novel but I persevered so much that now at 32, I am the proud owner of all his books (fiction and non-fiction). It goes without saying that I have read every single one of his works over 50 times in this time. The next ambition is to acquire all the Special Editions (hardbound). I wish Shalako is set up. That will be one hell of a pilgrimage for us LL fans. It is nice that most of his books have not been made into movies which preserves the 'fantasy' side of his characters for each of us in a unique way. One wish I have is Steven Speilberg make a movie out of The Californios...only he can bring those characters to life on the silver screen. Happy Reading.

My parents & other family members were avid fans and readers and I started buying and enlarging my parents collection of LL's books. After filling more than half a bookshelf I started reading them myself and I've been hooked every since and have trouble putting a book down until I have finished it but yet I hate to see each story end. I search bookstores and used book exchanges continually. I am very grateful that the family is carrying on publishing his writings and hope it won't end soon. I wish I had appreciated LL's writings while he was alive so I could have sent him a note of admiration.

I was assigned to submarine duty in l967 during the Cold War. During my first run I told one of my shipmates that I missed the wind, trees, open space and of course my family and the ever day adventures of American family life and society. I was advised to read pocket Westerns and I would find my self transformed mentally to the many different aspects of the outdoors and the adventures of a stuggling nation in it's quest for freedom. I am a Christian and I do not enjoy reading a book by an author who feels every person reading books wants there to be swearing and vulgar situations depicted in the book. I let my shipmate known my desires to be able to read and not have to endure the vulgarity so often a part of most fiction books. He said read Louis L"Amours or Zane Gray westerns and there will be none. I have enjoyed Mr. L"Amour's books ever since my first patrol on the USS Francis SCott Key SSBN 857 in 1967. Because Mr. L"Amour kept his writing clean I was able to read some of his stories to my son when he was a young boy. I am thankful America had Mr. L"Amour as one of it's citizen- writers.

As I was growing from childhood to adulthood I would see my Dad reading, and, if it was fiction, it was always a Louis L'Amour book.Never any other fiction writer. It is so interesting to read all the information about this prolific man who wrote such wonderful books. Just yesterday I bought "With These Hands" and could see just why my Dad could become so immersed in the wonderful way this man put his ideas on paper. I have always loved descriptive writing and he is tops in this manner of presenting his ideas and stories. My Dad died in 1969 at age 67, but to this day I am so glad that he found Mr. L'Amour's wonderful works to spend time to read. So far, my favorite books are about the Sacketts. His family must be so proud of this wonderful legacy he has left the world. Thank You Joan Tetreault

I forgot to mention that my dad was a BLM surveyor here in Colorado and covered a huge amount of the state on foot. He knew so many of the places that Louis wrote about. Also, his grandfather had always said that he was born in Animas City. The family always thought he meant Las Animas until we discovered in one of Louis' books that Animas City was the north end of Durango!

We have now bought him a specially designed bookcase to take all of his treasured books. He now has 85 in his collection, and I think it has been great for him to have an interest other than his work. Good on ya Louis.

His books have been an inspiration for me. I have learned many things from them. I have most of his books and have reread them many times. Being from and living back in a town I've seen mentioned in his books has been a thrill. I've traveled in some of the areas he mentions and have used maps to get an idea of others. Thank you for keeping his stories coming. I look foward to each new book published. A loyal fan forever!

The first 'Louie' book I ever read was, "Passin' Through" After that, I started at the top of the list of his books and read every single one of them. It was hard sometimes to find each one, but through the Interstate Library system, I was able to read all of them. Thank you for continuing on with his stories. Had he been my father, I don't know if I could share my memories and the rest of his stories like you do. I had a very sad birthday (June 11th) the year that he died. Each summer I haunt the flea markets and garage sales, looking for all the titles I don't have yet. One of these days, I'll complete my collection.

I dont recall my first but i recall many in my mind.I only have around 8o+.Some are even first editions. The pages are old and yellow from years of reading.I even have several copies of each to take the place of the older ones,as to keep the older ones from becomeing even more tattered.I grew up riding horses{thanks to my mom and dad},have even worked cows and helped to train several horses when i was a teenager.I might not be able to "ride anything with hair" But I have never shyed away from stepin up on any horse.I have been a professional truck driver now for the past 8 years,and have been blessed to see the deserts and the mountains that have read about.I have seen the long rolling grasslands out west,seen herds of antelope running across Wyoming.I would trade all this for the chance to live the life I have read about but, alas we all know that it cannot be. So i keep on truckin driftn from town to town, i just use a 500 horsepower truck.i wish i could have met you Louis, but when i cash my chips in I'll be lookin for ya ridin the high up places where nobody goes anymore and we can swap some tales. Thank you for all the adventure you have given all of us. Like others here you have changed the way I live and look at things. You have taught me so much in your books, and while they may be fiction, to me they are as real as anything that I can see or touch.When i read your books i can see and hear everything i read, even the men and women i read about have different voices,all the Sackets have their own voices{partly due to the movies that have been made of your books}.Thanks to great actors like,Sam Elliot,Tom Sellek,Ben Johnson and a slew of others,I wish they could have made the movies more accurate then they did,but thats Hollywood.Well i could keep writing on and on,but i won't.Thank you for the best friends anyone could have,your stories have kept me busy for years and will continue to do so.Many thanks to your family for keeping your books and memory alive.

I STARTED READING LOUIS L'AMOUR DURING MY YONDERING DAYS. THE ROMANCE AND FANTASY PEOPLE ATTACH TO TIMES OF GREAT STRUGGLE AND TURMOIL DOES NOT EXIST.IT CAN BE AND WAS A VERY SCARY EXPERIENCE. I DID HOWEVER FIND A TRUE FRIEND AND GUIDE DURING THIS PERIOD,AND HE IS WITH ME STILL.HE INSTILLED IN ME A SET OF VALUES AND MADE ME FEEL I WAS NOT ALONE.HE MADE ME SEE THAT THOSE WHO CAME BEFORE MADE GREAT SACRIFICES. THOSE SACRIFICES GAVE MYSELF AND OTHERS ENDLESS OPPORTUNITIES. THE ONLY REGRET I HAVE IS NOT MEETING MY FRIEND IN PERSON. THANK YOU LOUIS L'AMOUR. THANK YOU FOR BEING MY FRIEND.... JIMMY DINEEN

I think that I have all of his books except for two: Frontier and his newest short stories. There isn't a boring one in the bunch. I even have a book of his poetry and I dislike poetry very much. I hope his family keeps up his tradition!

I almost have the complete collection series. I have been a very big fan for several years now. I wish I had his talent for writing.

i started reading louis l`amour in college 22 years ago, and have been hooked ever since. it has even spoiled me to other western writers. i would rather re-read one of louis l`amours books than most of the new stuff that is out there. a life long fan.

I don't know exactly how old I was when I read my first Louis, but I do know that ever since I have read and re-read his books. I was glad to see his son continue to publish Louis' work after his death, it helped to round out some of the characters for me. The only book of Louis' that I haven't read is the poetry, and that is only because i have never even seen a copy of it. Thank You Beau for carrying on for your dad.

I have been reading Louis books for about four months now, and I must confess to being entirely addicted. Louis is a legend, and there is a lot in his writings that I believe that we should all pay attention to. Louis may have been one of the last great frontier writers, ahead of time in some ways, and back in the sweet past in so many others. Thanks Louis

My name is Edmund Marco and it's a pleasure to sign your guest book. I work for an advertising agency in London. Our agency represents direct marketing companies that are involved in the marketing of products as seen on TV in England. Most of the infomercial products come from the U.S. but then again we export our talents as well. My brother has appeared in infomercials in the U.S. advertising various products. I think it's hilarious that English people respond so well to American products while Americans tend to respond well to sales people who have an English accent!

I'm not sure when I read my first LL book. But I do know that it was love at first read. I have since collected most of LL's books, just missing some of the "new" ones. After reading his biography I have also followed Louis's example and documented all the books I have read. His books are among the favorites on my list. He was a great man and his legend will live as long as books are printed.

In my opinion, I think the Louis L'Amour is the only true Western book writer. No one's books are like his. I have read every book written by him except the new ones published since his death.
