"Help us identify errors, typos, etc"
|
LAST EDITED ON 04-03-14 AT 03:53 PM (Pacific Time) Find a misspelling, typo, or glaring error in logic in one of Louis' books? Well this is the place to let us know. We'll compile the list and get it off to the publisher in an effort to get them corrected. NOTE: Any changes will be gradual and may not show up for years depending on the printing schedule and logistics involved in making changes. But we'll give it our best effort. ALSO: Please don't include printing or binding errors such as the last half of the book bound in upside down or missing chapters or duplicate chapters in a book. These are packaging errors and must be dealt with by the original retail seller of the book to you. Thanks in advance for your help!! Paul |

6. "SPECIFICS!!!"
In response to message #5

If we are going to use any help you can give us there must be page numbers and A BIT OF TEXT so we can search it in a computer file. We are looking for CONCRETE issues, he says on thing here and another thing there, or mis-spellings or typos. I won't be rewriting bits of stories to correct things unless it was obvious to me what Dad intended and probably not even then. But I really do appreciate the help in perfecting our product. |

In The Man from the Broken Hills there appears to be a map error at the beginning of the book. In Chapter 26, p. 258, Milo Talon speaking, "...I started due east toward the head of Five Mile Creek." P. 259, "Nightfall found me under some bluffs near the head of Little Bluff Creek." Same page, "...the Llano was about eight or nine miles due SOUTH." The map shows Five Mile Creek and Little Bluff Creek already south of the Llano. There are other actions in chapters 26 and 27 that happen NORTH of the Llano, so changing the word SOUTH to NORTH would not solve the problem. The map could be changed showing the two creeks to be NORTH of the Llano, unless they are south of the Llano in reality. |

The Rider of Lost Creek, 1993, paperback: P. 7: "...he'll chose his own way..." CHOOSEThe term "Apple Canyon" is used throughout the book. However, there are four instances when "Apple Valley" is used in error: pp. 72, 73, 75, 86. The title of the book is The Rider of LOST CREEK. On page 89 it is referred to as Lost Valley and on page 105 it is referred to as Lost Creek Valley. P. 103: "Kilkenny was no nearer discovering the killer now THAT in the beginning..." THAN |

Riding for the Brand, paperback, 2012: p. 25 (center): "Your first, Seever!" Should be YOUR'S or YOU'RE. p. 32 (bottom): "...a cattleman needed to calendars or clocks." TO should be NO. p. 68 (top to center): "...the Pleasant Valley Outlet...Pleasant Valley Outlet was not far...into Pleasant Valley Canyon..." CANYON should be OUTLET. p. 83 (center): "..than ever beore..." BEORE should be BEFORE. p. 153 (top): "...by his gunarm." GUNARM should be GUN ARM. p. 177 (center): "There's no call, he said..." Add quotation marks after CALL, p. 186 (center): "Jim hesitated over Mary Ray..." MARY should be MART. See p. 179, top. p. 187 (center): "...he heard them call Kitty, Jim Gary..." The COMMA should be a PERIOD. p. 239 (top): "...a woman aroud here?" AROUD should be AROUND. p. 242 (bottom): Who did he think he was, anyway?" Delete quotation marks. |

Leo Lessard - On Pg 65 in The Mountain Valley war, there is a citation which states that Andrew Jackson killed a man in a duel. It continues by stating that it was only a few years back. This cannot be. Andrew Jackson killed Charles Dickinson and he was the only one who ever was killed by Jackson. Unfortunately, the problem is - this happened in 1806 so this could not match the timeline given in the book.On pg. 17, Virgil Earp killing Billy Brooks is cited but according to my research at this link,(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_L._Brooks), Brooks was lynched while awaiting trial on July 29, 1874. Also, a gun battle did take place but it was Morgan who shot Billy Brooks in the stomach, and as some stories cite - fatally. Virgil had nothing to do with Billy Brooks from what I can find. |

In The High Graders, Louis named the wilderness cabin Mike took the mule train to as Lost Cabin. At books end Louis was, mistakenly It seems, calling it Stone Cabin. (I read this book on Kindle). |

May There Be A Road- on the spine it has "The Louis L'amouor Collection" with Louis L'amour spelled on the same spine lower down. However, looking at other books online I have found some versions where his name was spelled correctly, and others with the above error. Trying to verify it isn't a fake. |
