Valley of the Sun

A Louis L'Amour book of classic short stories. Cattlemen ride alone across the open range under the deadly aim of roving desperadoes. Gamblers stake their fortunes and their lives on a deck of cards. Strong-willed senoritas seek independence through an enticing combination of beauty, audacity, and spirit. Lawmen and outlaws walk the same dusty streets and speak a common language: Colt, Winchester, Smith & Wesson. Gritty, tough, and unflinchingly authentic, here is the West as it really was: a land where for every friend there is an enemy, for every handshake a fist, for every dispute a resolution-usually in an explosive showdown of blood and bullets. In these remarkable tales, Louis L'Amour-like the very heroes depicts-blazes a trail across the American frontier and takes us on an unforgiving journey into the heart of our Western heritage. This collection of short stories includes: We Shaped the Land with Our Guns West of the Pilot Range When a Texan Takes Over No Man's Mesa Gila Crossing Medicine Ground Valley of the Sun That Slash Seven Kid In Victorio's Country
