I started reading Louis L'Amour books when I was about 12, because my grandfather and father had them all! I'm planning to get some for my daughter, now 11, on our next trip to the library. I believe the first one I read was "The Empty Land," so that's what I'll get Josephine first. Then maybe "The Ferguson Rifle," and after that, all bets are off! On summer nights at my grandparents' farm in Missouri, when it was too hot to sleep - no air conditioning, no indoor plumbing, no electricity upstairs - I'd lie awake all night reading Louis' novels by oil-lamp light. Dad's got central air and electricity now, but the books are still there for my kids. I just discovered this site in the notes to "With These Hands," and I'll be looking for a gift for Dad!

As a descendant of the first settlers to Western Australia I found alot of similarity in many of Mr Lamour's characters in there paving the way to new lands,just as my family did 200 years before me.Ive been lucky enough to have read all of his books the first being( The Ferguson Rifle)at age twelve im thirty five now and i still read at least one of his books every week.I introduced my wife to the Sackets by giving her To The Far Blue Mountains to read,she could not put it down at the end of the book the tears were flowing as Im sure of many who read that book.To be able to draw emotions out of so many from so far is a wonderful achievement.My two daughters are not old enough to read but Im still on the land and Im teaching them all I know of our family as well as the world wide Lamour family.Thank you to the Lamour clan firstly to the late Louis and to the rest of his family for keeping the dream alive.Yours Sincerely Sean H Troy GinGin Western Australia.

As a kid growing up on the NM/CO border, I grew up reading Louis' books as I understood the lands he wrote of. I believe I have read every published work. His characters became idols and role models - men and women with values. Now, as an adult that has left the mountains and desert for NYC, I return to his writings to remember the places where I grew up, the people I knew and the dreams of the past. Just wanting to thank Louis L'Amour and those who continue his work.

I read my first Louis Lamour novel about three months ago and to date have read 44 of his books. I'm not getting much work done around here, but I'm sure enjoying Louis Lamour's world. There's so much more to his work than just the story...his many comments on the history or geography relevant to the plots, et al. I can't go back into history, but I surely wish I could see those deserts, those mountains he names and decribes so well with people who were as knowledgeable as Mr. Lamour. Meantime, I'll continue my armchair adventures. I'm only sorry to say that my introduction to Louis Lamour had to come so late in my life. I now live in a retirement community in Florida (but I'm a born and bred New Yorker). I was employed in a Japanese bank for 26 years, 22 of them in The World Trade Center, until I retired in 1993.

My husband has been a fan of Louis L'AMOUR for many years. He has some of the books. He keeps reading them over and over until they fall apart. I decided I'd like to add to his collection. Thought I'd see if there was a web site for this. Thanks for the list of books you wrote. Now we can start looking for these.

I have read every book written by Louis L'Amour and treasure them all. I re-read them every few years and as an old westerner from New Mexico, I can just smell, taste and feel the old west through his writings. No one else even comes close to Louis' style and feel for the west...I can just hear the leather creak and smell the sage...the world lost a great one but thank God we have his writings to keep us all going!

I cannot recall when I started reading Louis l'Amour books but have been captured by his style and am working my way through the publication lists in the front of Bantam publications. I am impressed by the amount of research undertaken and the moral and ethical behaviour demonstrated in the books. I am currently enjoying May there be a Road and have two further books on order to complete the books that Beau is pulling together. In New zealand we cannot even exchange a Louis L'Amour book for anything other than a Louis L'Amour he has such a following. The finding of this site will help me set my Birthday and Christmas wish list.

I have few enthusiasms and Louis's books are certainly one. The only westerns I read are Louis's and most of them I have read a number of times over the last 40 years. I have copious notes and have a list of the novels Louis has said he would like to have written and never had time to write. I am presently collecting first editions, signed editions, pulps and lecture audio or video tapes. Any sources would be appreciated. I would be glad to share what I might know with any interested fan. Thank God for Louis and his family and the education in life that I have recieved from reading Louis L'Amour.

I was 14 when Louis' first novel (Hondo) was published and I remember that I paid $0.25 for it in paperback. I became a lifelong fan and purchased all of his novels a soon as they appeared on the newstand and believe that I have copies of all that were published in his lifetime under his name. I have many of those that I purchased in the 50's and 60's and they are all old friends. I was fortunate to hear him speak at Rockhurst College in Kanasas City in the 1980's and spoke with him afterwards. His work has provided me uncounted hours of reading pleasure and I can only wish that everyone had an author that they enjoyed as much as I have loved his work. I hope that he understood the pleasure that he provided for his fans. Thank you Louis wherever you are.

An uncle gave me Sackett's Land to read when I was 12 years old. Today I am 31 years old and I have every book in the collection in hard back and most of them in paperback.I just ordered another one from the collection, I loaned it to a teacher back in college and never got it back, so now I only loan out the paperbacks.Louis was definitely one of the greatest writers of this century and will be greatly missed,Thank goodness for the writings he left us to enjoy.I just finished "May There Be A Road", and it was excellent reading, hope to see a few more in the future.

I not only inherited his love for these stories, but the passion for collecting them as well. Thank you for the years of satisfaction the L'Amour books have provided to my family and I look forward to reading the remaining stories in the near future.

My first book was The Lonesome Gods, and like the rest of the guests, I was hooked. I have read every book, and have most, if not all, of them made available in leather as well as all the paperbacks. I will lend out only the paperbacks since I don't want to lose any of them--I reread them often. I found this URL by reading the latest paperback collection you have published, and am looking for the next one out. My favorite book is The Last of the Breed, and I was hoping for a sequel, but it wasn't to be. Mr. L'Amour is greatly missed, but he will never be forgotten through his legacy of great research and writing! I will continue to enjoy it to my dying day!

Almost 68 now, Read my first L'Amour book as a young Sailor in the USN. Of all the places thoughout the world I saw, none gave me the pleasure I experanced when I traveled out west and made myself believe, "This is where Louie's men lived and died". Re-reading the Sackett books once again. They never get old. "Long Live Louie"

I like the idea that my father and grandfather have enjoyed most of he same books that I have. I hope to pass the love of his books on to my children someday. I am sure Mr. L'Amour would be happy to know that his books have brought 3 generations countless hours of enjoyment.

The first Louis L'Amour book I read was "The Daybreakers". It was around 1960. Since then, I have read all of his books. I would haunt the bookstores searching for a new L'Amour book. My late daddy was an avid reader of westerns and he enjoyed a Louis L'Amour book more than any other. My brother has gotten interested in them and started collecting and reading them about 5 years ago. I have read a lot of different types of books, but I love westerns and Louis L'Amour westerns best of all. I am sorry that I never got to meet him. Thanks for keeping his legacy alive with this website and the collections of short stories. Don

I began reading Louis L'Amour books when I was in about the 4th or 5th grade after being introduced to them through my grandmother who had tons of them. Since then I've been a total addict. I couldn't wait to go to her house every Sunday night just to get about 6 more to read in that week ahead. I'd spend my time reading them instead of watching TV. I used to hide in every little crook and crainy in out house or outside in the barns from my mom so I could read them instead of cleaning. I am now 22 years old and am still profusely reading the great Louis L'Amour books over and over numerous times. I can't begin to tell you how many times i've re-read them. Actually, I just came downstairs from reading the latest book that is out right now in the stores. I came across this website in the end of the book and just had to check it out immediately. Living on a farm I worked at my families' sweet corn stand with my younger brothers and have had the pleasure of reading aloud to them Louis' books there during the long hours. They now all borrow my books constantly. They are quite hooked as well. Everytime I see a L'Amour book anywhere I have to snatch it up even if i already have 5 of the same ones. They are very realalistic, historical, clean, uplifting, and quite consuming books. When I read one of them I feel as if I am there in that story in that period of time. Whenever someones asks me who I would like to meet in history I always say Louis L'Amour. I belive he has affected my life in a way that no one other person has and I have never even had the priviledge of meeting him. He would be so knowledgeable to listen and talk to. At my rate i'm sure that be the time I'm 50 i'll probably have every one of his books memorized line for line. Before I go, my brothers and I used to get his books on audio at the library all the time and still do to this day. Keep up the L'Amour work.

My freind said your not a cowboy so just read "Working for the brand" and it will help you understand why your not a working cowboy. I borrowed the book from him 2 years ago and have not stop reading L'Amour books since. I have even picked up other authors western books and could not make it through the first chapter. I really think this web site is great because it will allow me to continue getting my hands on more of his books. Thanks

When you are surrounded by water and living on a floating, haze-grey airport that never sleeps, escape for me is found on the dusty trails or in noisy bar rooms that is found in a L'Amour novel. For all of the places that I have seen or will see in my Naval career, nothing can compare to adventures that have come from each book of his that I have read.

To the Louis L'Amour family; My grandfather (Senator Milton R. Young) introduced me to Mr. L'Amour a long, long time ago. I was not much interested in reading at that time, but after meeting him and getting an autographed book changed everything. It is also nice knowing that he is a fellow North-Dakotan. I grew up in Berlin, ND which is only about 40 miles from Jamestown. Your grandfather/dad was a truly amazing man and like my grandfather is very, very missed. I have now begun to pick up the books that I have collected and begun reading them again. They just take me as in Mr. L'Amour's words to "better days, better ways". I am now in the progress of collecting his leatherbound books for sentimental reasons as you can see. Well, I just wanted to say HI to the family and hope to keep in touch somehow. Thank-you for having this website and in keeping Louis alive in my thoughts. Always, Than J. Young

My grandaddy introduced my mom to Louis L'Amour and she introduced me. I think of them both every time I re-read one of my L'Amours. I always wanted to be a Sackett woman like Echo Sackett or Em Sackett Talon growing up (still do)! I love visiting with my old friends the Sacketts, Talons, and all the other great characters wonderfully brought to life by Mr. L'Amour every year or so when I re-read my collection. If anyone wants a collection just for the love of reading them and not necessarily for collector purposes, I would suggest finding a couple of good used book stores & start haunting them. That's how I bought my collection without making my wallet think it's throat had been cut. Thanks for this great website and to Mr. L'Amour for the great love of adventure and the old west that comes through in every book. I really appreciate it even though Tell Sackett has set an impossible standard for the real men in my life (ha).

I never read any frontier stories until 1997, and a friend introduced me the writings of Louis L'Amour western novels and found the stories to be most enjoyable. when I have to put the book up I always look forward to getting back to it. I especically llike the Sacketts I've read 15 to date. Without a doubt the best frontier storyteller.

I am an avid fan. I think that Louis is the best western and fiction writer there is. I have read almost every book he has ever written and was devestated when he passed away. I always scan the new book section of any store that sells books. I especially love the books about the Sacketts. They are my favorites but I love everything he writes. Faye Harwell

I started reading Louis L'Amour as a child, after my own family had made their journey west, and I feel that I have been out on the frontier with him every since, riding every trail, meeting all the people. As with all fans, I have collected every book by him or about him that I could find, with his writing accross many different types of stories, he has lead me to many different authors & stories, Thank you Louis L'Amour for my love of reading.

I started reading LL in second grade right along with Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys. They were the only adult books I was allowed to read at the time because there was no language or sex and no graphic violence. But there was plenty of plot and great stuff to fire a kid's imagination. I grew to old for Nancy Drew and the Hardys but Louis has stayed with me and I am grateful to his family for continuing his legacy. I loved all his books but these are my favorite books and characters: Ponga Jim Mayo and his fellow soldiers of fortune, Kilkenny, Bowdrie, the Sackets, "Hills of Homicide," "The Daybreakers," "The Broken Gun," "The Lonesome Gods" and so many more. I loved his soldier of fortune stories, his tough detectives, his cowboys, and his strong women. Not many male authors, especially in westerns, write female characters who are strong and capable yet feminine and decent. Louis had the guts to make some of them his main characters. That was important to a young girl. Louis ruined me for any other western writer. Thank you, Louis, for such wonderful stories and thank you, Dad, for introducing me to him.

I picked up my first Louis L'Amour novel while waiting in a doctor's office waiting for my sister and my nephew-his 6 week check up...(He turned 21 recently)and I now own nearly every paperback he has written and have read and re-read them several times. He had such a gift of making you feel like you are THERE watching the action as it happens. While I was in college,I went to the library and found one of my friends doing a paper on the Comstock Lode. I began rattling off facts and he asked me "Where did you learn all that? I have been reading for over 5 hours and I just now am finding out the facts." I laughed and said almost sheepishly..."I read them in a Louis L'Amour novel!" Thanks for many hours of reading pleasure and a greater appreci-ation of the hardships of frontier life. My favorite character has to be Tell Sackett(Hands down). And the book I read from start to finish in a night...The Walking Drum.

I married a marine stationed at 29 Palms California and he introduced me to Mojave Crossing (my first L'Amour book). I could look out my window and see the oasis looking just as it was described. I visited Lost Horse Canyon and felt I was part of the novel. Needless to say I was hooked. I have read every book I could get my hands on (some many times). My favorites are Bendigo Shafter and The Lonesome Gods. Thank you for the opprotunity to find others who are fans .

I've been reading Louis Lamour forever it seems. I have everything he has written as far as I know except for some of the short stories. When my oldest son finally got his own house, I gave him an almost complete set Of Louis for his own. He can wear out his own books now. I've had to replace several that he literally wore out over the years. Thanks a lot Louis for all the wonderful hours of reading. Just miss your writing but what your family is doing with your stories will have to do Dick Mathison

THIS ONES A CLASSIC, HERE'S TO YOU LOUIS. While I was out a riding, graveyard shift, midnight til dawn. The moon was as bright as a readin' light for a letter from an old friend back home. And he asked me" why do you ride for your money, why do rope for short pay, ya ain't gettin nowhere and you're loosing your share. Boy ya must have gone crazy out there." he tells me I run home to Jenny, she's married and has a good life. And boy you sure missed the track when you never come back. She's the perfect professionals wife. And She asked him "why does he ride for his money, why does he rope for short pay, he ain't gettin nowhere and he's loosing his share. Well he must have gone crazy out there." Ah but they ain't never seen the Northern Lights, never seen a Hawk on the wing, never spent spring at the Great Divide, they never heard ol' camp cookie sing. well I read up the last of my letter. And tore off the stamp for black Jim. Bill, he rode up to releave me. He just looked at my letter and grinned. Not many people can experience the West, But thanks to Louis L'Amour we Can.

Some people tell me the West is dead and gone. That Cowboys have faded out, just a memory lives on. There's a few of us left, we're going strong. From the rollin' hills of Texas, to the Wide Montana plains. We still work a' horseback, just like the good ol' days. Now maybe it ain't quiet the way it was, once upon a time. The West might be changing, but thanks to people like Louis L'Amour, It will never die. As long as there's a place where the Eagle flys free, Where cattle roam the prarie just as far as you can see, there will always be a reason and a need for Cowboys like He.

Hats off to the Legend. Characters Louis created became my heroes growin' up. My father got me reading these books when I was younger and having problems reading(I just didn't like reading) After reading The Quick and the Dead, there was no stopin' me. I became a readin' machine. and I never put the books down since. I always have one of his novels in my saddle bag, or pack sack. I don't leave home without him. I thank God for Louis L'Amour and his work, fore he helped make me who I am today. I hope You're resting good up there.

I have trouble putting his books down even when I have read the story four or five times. My favorites are fair blows the wind and bendigo shafter(I was born and raised near south pass)I have always felt a kinship with Louis. He taught me more about honor than eight years in the military ever did.(and thats alot) His books never fail to inspire and entertain me, no matter how often I read them.

The first Louis book that I read was in the summer of 1999. This first book was Flint. For the past three years, I now own 88 books written by Louis L'Amour. In 2001, I saw Charlie Daniels play and his bibliography said that he is a big Louis fan. I think that it is rare for a 21 year old (at the time) to collect that many Louis books. They are the best books that anyone could hope to read

I first read a L'Amour novel while rained in at Camp Lejeune. A fellow Marine gave me Last Stand At Papago Wells and about halfway through the book I realized I knew EXACTLY where this was. I wrote to Mr. L'Amour through the publisher and was amazed when I received a reply ( on Strater Hotel stationery) a couple of weeks later. I met Mr. L'Amour later in person in Anaheim just before the filming of The Sacketts TV series. This must have ben in 1977 or 78. He autographed a copy of Sackett for me and Tom Selleck autographed a copy of The Daybreakers. I still have thar original letter and both autographed books (now quite yellowed and faded). My mother, recently turned 87 years old, is a great fan, as well.

I would just like to say that I believe that if Louis� books were required reading in our government (public) schools through out this country, that ninety percent of the problems that pervade society today would no longer exist. These books, collectively and individually, are the embodiment of a strict moral code, that unfortunately, has been lost on our last couple of generations. I've read every one of Louis' novels and almost all of his short stories and I must say I owe a debt of gratitude that can never be repaid. I read "Flint" at age 13 and everything in print I could get my hands on for the next several years. As each new novel was released, it was quickly read, and the next eagerly anticipated. I mourned Louis' passing by placing my entire collection in storage. The box has been reopened on the occasion of my son's 12th birthday. Louis' works are a treasure worth handing down to succeeding generations - good morals and good men never go out of style.

From the moment I picked up a LL book I couldn't put it down. That was 4 years ago. Since then I've read everyone of them at least twice. Over 110 novels and a bunch of short stories. My wife reads them as does my 12 year old daughter who started reading them two years ago. I hold back the ones that wouldn't be appropriate for young girls. I always wanted to be a mountain man from the age of 10 when I read Kit Carson - Mountain Man. I enjoy the west very much and have taken the whole family on four long road trips over the last 6 years. My youngest who is 8 has already been in 42 states. I bought Frontier in Wall South Dakota. I read once that Louis Lamour was going to create a town at the four corners out west. What has become of that vision? My favorite books are Flint and Reilly's Luck. But really I love them all. I wish I could find some new books that I haven't read! Happy reading!

I was first introduced to Louis by my brother inlaw who could very well be one of the characters descibed by Mr. L'Amour. I actually picture him as I read some of the books. My brother inlaw embodies the ideas, and morals of the characters as well as being well over six feet tall, lean and a real cowboy from birth. I also have a son named Logan after reading the Sackett books. His mother however drew the line when I wanted his middle name to be Tyrel. I thoroughly enjoy all of Mr. L'Amours works and was deeply grieved by his passing. American youth could greatly benefit from the examples set by Louis' characters. Through his writings you feel a bond and great respect for a Man among Men. He will be missed always but never forgotten.

I began collecting the books when in the Marines. I had just finish a book about fueding families when I met someone that was a descendent.

I was sick a good deal of the time when I was younger, and to help ease the boredom of being stuck in bed, my grandfather gave me a stack of books. In this stack were several by your father. I was hooked right away. I've been reading his books for 40 years. I have many first printings in paperback. They have given me a great deal of pleasure over the years, and I have read some of them dozens of times. I can't begin to express the feeling of picking up one of his books, and letting it take me back, not only to my childhood, but to the old west. This is a great website and tribute to one of America's finest writers.

I started Louis Lamour books when I was 12 (1967) and now at 46 still read them over and over. My first was Kilrone and found it to be so exciting that I was immediately hooked. Others have enjoyed my collection as I have almost ever book he has written. Sometimes they like them too much and I usually have to replace a loaned out book. The reading is as great as the research that must have went into each book. The way each book is written, one can see a labor of love for the lands discussed, people involved and the reader that will enjoy it. The passing of such a great story writer was a great loss to those of us who enjoyed the work he did and a loss to those who may never know the west as it was. Via con dios mi amigo, I felt like I knew you well.

Louis L'amour's books are the greatest they are filed with adventure and hours of entertanement. I've read them over and over and over; some even more than 5 times. The best thing about them is that I don't have to worry about what I'm gana read about, I've never read anything profane in all Louis' books.

This was not only the first Louis L'Amour novel I've ever read, it was the first western novel I,ve ever read. I was very impressed. The writing was crisp, no words were wasted, the characters real, the scenery bold, and a gripping story to boot. I can't wait until the next book arrives!

I have read almost all of the books Louis L'Amour has written. I have been reading his books for more than 30 years. He was the best writer known, his books are written so that the entire family can read them and not worry about offensive language. As you read, his books come alive in your mind, it seems as though you were right there.

I have been reading Louis L'Amour's books for the past 25 years now, and have found no other author that is so realistic,so authentic and so down to earth as Louis L'Amour! When he passed away, I felt I lost a very good friend. This website, and the people who support it are a continuing tribute to one of America's best western authors! Anyone who loves his works like I do is worth "riding the river with!"

He said, "I love his books, they are so descriptive and are pretty entertaining. Go ahead and borrow one if you like." I've been hooked ever since. LONG LIVE L'AMOUR!!!

I love to read about the old west and Louis L'amour writes it better than anyone. I have nearly all his books and have read all of them twice and most of them 3 or 4 times. I especially appreciate the realism without the vulgarity. As you read a story, you feel as if you are there. We will miss his writing in the future.

I'm writing from a land that was settled so long ago that it's prehistory and still my heart beats more rapidly with the adventure in his books! Reading Louis L'Amour's novels for the last 25 years, I live vicariously the life he describes. His breadth of knowledge, his depth of understanding added to his love of adventure, both the geographical and the intellectual are unusual. It helps understand not only America and Americans, but people everywhere, better Anu

I read my first Louis L'Amour novel @ the age of 11. It was "Utah Blaine".. 27 years later I still read his books... I grew up in the deserts of western Arizona in the early 70's and could visualize first hand what I was reading... I often rode out into the desert on my mini bike, to sit under a tree and read one of his books and see the scene played out in my minds eye in the type of country that I lived in and knew well. I am grateful that his writing gave me an interst in the history of the west that I stll have today. His writing style and inter-twining of fiction, history and desert savy will never be rivaled. I travel the exteremly remote deserts of western Arizona alot, and carry with me a confidence that Louis wrote into his characters... Thank you Louis... Jeff Arizona Territory

While I was in middle school in Michigan my grand father introduced me to the works of Louis L'Amour. The first book I read was Sacketts land, I was hooked right then and there. My grandpa owned just about every L'Amour book there is and I loved to borrow them whenever I could. On Dec. 29th 2001 my grandpa died at the ripe old age of 78. He was hunting in the woods where he lived his whole life in northern Michigan and had just shot a white tail with his muzzle loader when he had a heart attack (we all hope we can dye doing something we love). After the funeral my grandma was asking us grand kids if there was any thing of his that we wanted. I asked for the coat he wore in WWII, his shotgun, and the biggest stack of Louis L'Amour books I have ever seen. My granpa wiil be missed always, but often remembered while reading the greatest story tellers books. Louis L'Amour if you are checking your website from heaven, Thanks for bringing my grandpa and I together with your books, and if you would say high to my grandpa he would love to meet you. Check out my grandpas storys from WWII at www.garnweb.com/ these are the storys that I grew up on before Louis L,Amour Jody Dobberteen

I don't remember why I happened to pick up a book of Louis L'amours, I was looking for something interesting to read and I certainly found it. I am interested in the West because of having two daughters in the west, Phoenix and Denver and as a child my father had horses. I have even decorated my family room in a western flavor. I feel the lore that is taught in his books was good enough that if I was ever stranded in the desert I could find water. I enjoy the fact that he writes clean stories with no vulgarity and they are such interesting stories. I certainly found a treasure when I picked up my first novel.

I have been reading Louis L'Amour since I was old enough to read novels. My grandfather read them to me. My uncle read them to me. My mother read them to me, and my father read them to me. I grew up in West Texas and it was always refreshing to hear someone describing the area who had actually been there and was accurate. I have enjoyed my Leather Bound Books for some 17 or 18 years now. I hope to get my children as interested as I have been.

I have enjoyed reading Louis L'Amour's books for many years now. I have never lived in the West, only as I travel there with Mr. L'Amour. He had that ability, not only to tell about a place and time, but to actually take the reader there with him. I have enjoyed reliving those times with him. A great writer; a great story teller.

I do'nt know why exactly, I just love his books more than anything else I have ever read. I'm only 16 and have been reading his books for years. They seem to take you back to that era. I even find myself wishing I could have lived back then. Every time I open one of his masterpieces, I still get excited about the ending even though I've read every one. My family plans on building a home soon and our library will be stocked with his books so everyone can read them. I hope when my sister grows up(she's only 6 months right now)I will be able to pass on that love for Louis L'Amours books onto her. Maybe one day she will fall in love with them and picture herself riding like the wind away from fierce indians or smelling fresh gunpowder smoke after an intense gun battle. I hope I will always enjoy his novels and get that excited feeling every time I open his books.

My father introduced me to Louis L'Amour as a youngster, but it was not until I was a teenager that I truly became engrossed with the brilliance and insight that is such an integral part of every book written by Louis L'Amour. As a history teacher, I am particularly interested in the historical aspect of his books, especially in "The Walking Drum." He gave such a great and lasting gift to millions of Americans, as well as many internationally. He believed in the power of the written word, and uses them to captivate me every time I sit down and read one of his books.

My late father was a dyed-in-the-wool Louis L'Amour fan for as many years as I can remember. About thirty years ago (roughly) I borrowed a book from dad when I was home on a visit and I was hooked, big-time! It is hard to pick a favorite because all of L.L.'s stories are top-shelf. My all-time best pick is The Walking Drum. It gave me a sense of being there and seeing cultures and times that are not taught in our schools (much to OUR culture's loss). Also love the Sackett series and am currently collecting the unabridged audio sets. Am impatiently awaiting Lando to come out on tape, as I want to listen to the series in order. I once read that Louis had intended to write a sequel to The Walking drum. Is that true and was it ever started? That would be fascinating! Long live the memory and works of the greatest storyteller who ever lived! Ray.

Growing up in the cattle country of central British Columbia Canada in the early 60's was reminicient of the western way of life. I am a long time Louis L'Amour fan and have recently been working on a special project for my dad who intorduced me to Louis. I am in the process of creating a book for my father that is a chronological listing of ALL Louis L'Amour books beginning in the 1950's. I have included publishers as well as notes etc and have ended it with a chronological listing of stories that were made into movies. I say this only to show that the Legend lives on. By the time I was 11 I had read over 70 of L'Amours novels. And have been collecting them for many years. Please carry on with the great site! It is wonderful to know that there are so many fans out there like me.

I've been reading Louis L'Amour books for over 40 years and have probably read each one at least 10 times. Am now reading "LAST OF THE BREED" again and enjoying it as much as I did the first time. Last week I was in Sodona, Az reading "THE SACKETT BRAND" and I realized I was right by the Tonto Rim where the story took place. What a thrill! Now I'm collecting all the movies I can find based on his books. I have a few questions I hope someone can answer. Is there a group loosly organized that follows any of Mr. L'Amours trails in his books on horseback? Someone told me there was and I would like to know if it's true. Where exactly is the western town of Shalako mentioned in his books? Can anyone tell me the books that wre made into movies and the movie title. I have many doubles of Mr. L'Amours books and some that I believe are original paperback art. Some of these books are priced at thirty-five cents. I want to leave these to my son and would like to know how to get them appraised for insurance purposes. If anyone can answer any or all of these questions it would be appreciated. Thank you to the family for continuing to publish books written earlier by Mr. L'Amour.

I have been reading Louis L'Amour novels since I first received one as a young teenager. I'm 45 years old now and eagerly read each new novel as it becomes available. Many years ago Bantam Books started a subscription service for receiving the novels in hardcover. I immediately subscribed and have a fairly extensive library of Louis L'Amour novels. I'm only missing a few and am in the process of trying to obtain the missing novels. My thanks to the L'Amour family for maintaining the memory of Louis L'Amour and also for this this marvelous web site.

As of right now I believe that I have every Louis L'amour book that he has written. I'm not sure that I have them all. I have approximately 150 books. He is the best western writer there ever was and the best stories of all are the Sacketts. His books are in good taste and anyone in a family can enjoy them ,even children. If anyone has a list of all his books, would you please e-mail the list to me. Thank you. Bill Tompkins at wlt@medford.net

I started reading Louis Lamour books when i was in 8th grade and i was hooked Instantly. I was at the point where i read about 2 books a week no matter how thick. I have moved on to other authors but everytime i see a new collection of short stories come out i DEFINITELY come back for more. Great site and its nice to see there are other western readers out there. I am 21 now, but am i the youngest Lamour fanatic? Just curious.

After reading the books of Louis L'Amour, I know that I was born 100 years too late! However, I live that period of time over and over by just opening Louis' wonderful books.

I began reading mr. Lamours books about a year ago. I was listening to a sermon on a christian radio station when the pastor mentioned Mr. Lamour as being the greatest writer about the West. That got my attention and I made up my mind that I would look into see what these books were about. It took me about three years to read his first book. I am now hooked on his books. I enjoy that his books teach about integrity, honesty, moralty, courage, responsibility, fortitude and good ole horse sense.

I started reading Louis' books 23 years ago. I was always an avid reader but when I found his books they really grabbed me. The way that he gets the story going and the rapid progression through out the books is fantastic. By writing stories that use "real" geographic locations made me want to visit the places that are described in his stories. When I began reading Louis L'Amour I lived in Texas, now I live in Colorado and have been fortunate to visit many of the areas where his stories take place. I have read every novel, short story collections, poems and anything else that he has written, some many times. Reading Louis' stories is better than any movie or tv show. While reading them I feel that I myself am with every character every step of the way. When Louis L'Amour passed I was very sad. Thank you Beau and Angelic for digging up the stories and keeping your father alive through his writings.

I've been reading L'Amour books since I discovered them when I was at college - and have always enjoyed them - vivid descriptions and an understanding of the land, the equipment and the people of the times are part of the attraction. Somehow, his writing brings the West to life in a way that most other Westerns cannot. The Sackett books have always been my favourites by a long shot - a great shame that some of the planned books were never written, but I'm glad we have the ones we do. The books are full of American history that we don't know about over here, and my limited travels in the Southwest USA have added to my enjoyment when reading new books set in the area or re-reading the ones I already have.
