L'Amour Heading

   Louis L'Amour is one of America's most prolific and bestselling authors, writing more than One Hundred novels in a thirty year career. His novels of the old west have sold hundreds of millions of copies, andmade him well known and appreciated around the world.

L'Amour wrote with a clean, flowing style that made his work a fast reading journey into the world of the old

west, which he showed us in explicit detail. His detail of historical settings resulted from years of research and firsthand observation. He did not present the old west in the common, shoot-em up style that is evident in so many pulp western novels, but instead examined the often brutal effect of white culture on that of the natives, and created characters who endure conflicting feelings about the Native Americans' struggle. His heroes were often recurring characters from the Sackett, Charles Russell ArtworkTalon and Chantry families, who held strong loyalties to family, had straightforward views on right and wrong, and believed in white Americans' destiny to spread their culture throughout the west. L'Amour's heroes consistently showed great respect for the environment, and an ingrained desire to pursue what they believed to be right and just, and to stand and fight for their values regardless of the odds against them.

L'Amour's skill as a storyteller and chronicler of white and Native American Western lore won him an amazing following of loyal fans. The high moral standards, the ideals and respect for all that he wrote of in his stories, were a great part of the attraction. The creation of the Sacketts and other families that appear throughout his books, brought the reader into the heart of early family life in North America, and the reader quickly became attached to these respectable characters, looking forward to their next appearance.
