Big Country, Volume 3: Stories of Louis L'Amour (Library Edition)

Louis L'Amour said that the West was no place for the frightened or the mean. It was a ''big country needing big men and women to live in it.'' This volume presents five more of L'Amour's fine short stories about the West, restored to how they first appeared in their initial publication in magazines.
