The Collected Short Stories of Louis L'Amour, Volume 3: Frontier Stories

I have been a real fan of action western stories for more than 30 years and my favorite western writer is Louis L’Amour. I have read a great number of his books over the years but I had not read this particular collection (The collected short stories of Louis L’Amour Volume 3 Frontier stories, 560 pages) and when I saw it on Amazon for a bargain price I purchased it.This collection has 28 short stories and I really enjoyed reading these action packed stories which were interesting and enjoyable. If you are into western stories you should check out this volume 3 collection. Louis L’Amour is truly the master of writing realistic and page turning western stories.Rating: 5 Stars. Joseph J. Truncale (Author: Training alone in Combatives and Self-Defense)

This will be a great book of short stories, but I only ordered it because I searched on large print books and this was the first thing that came up. Granted I could not find the word large print in the descriptions but some of the reviews said large print and since I found it as a result of the search for large print I took the risk. So I guess it's my fault, just wanted to pass along in case you're looking for large print to be extra careful. I'm not sure how to ensure that you get a large print or if there is even one available.No complaints about the book itself! The 4-star rating is just to use Extreme Caution if you're hunting for large print

Remarkable stories of a time where killing and fighting were common. The short stories are fascinating and recall a time when aggression seemed necessary to survive. Difficult life for all and especially for females. Despite being short stories, the plots, characters, geographical locations, and the writing present the experiences of western life as extremely hard and everyday demanding of more. Life has changed quite a bit today and walking around ‘gunning’ for people was a terrifying way of life.

Purchased as gift

I purchased this book for my husband. He has read the majority of western in excistance and loves Louis L'Amour. He says he enjoys these because he can sit down and read every evening and have a reason to stop at a reasonable hour. If you are a avid reader you understand that once you start a good book you just can't stop reading until the end. With these he reads a few short stories and calls it good. He has started paraphrasing the stories to our sons 4 and 6 and they are also enjoying these books. He says it is almost always the same story line, but the details are what makes it so interesting.

All the stories are written as quickies. Each adventure is different, but they give you the true feel of the characters and their plots.Some westerns are mundane, for instance, certainauthor's plots are wishy washy, you know from reading the two chapters, whether or not it's going to catch your interests.So I suggest, read and enjoy these novellas they are worth it.

I love the Sackets when/if written by L L'Amour. The typical language inspires me.

I have now read the first three volumes of this collection, and so far this third volume is my favorite. Several stories with dedicated but balanced lawmen who will kill if necessary, but fully understand that shooting first is the wrong way to go. And several stories with unexpected twists at the end.

I've always loved Louis L'Amour books, it's true, he is the greatest western writer of them all. How could I not give 5 Stars!

Good quality gift.

Another great, what can you say, they are all good

these short stories are from the pulp magazines from just after the war. for Lamour fans these are a must read. excellent stories.
