Excellent capsule of the merits and sheer readability of Louis L'Amour.
Thanks Bing!
I too need a haircut! Thanks for the recommendation/s!
You are welcome.
Not only am I kicking myself in the butt for not thinking of doing a video like this for Lamour this may be my favorite video you’ve done sir!
Thanks, piggyback off it and give your thoughts man.
I read a Louise L’Amour 2 or 3 times a year and I love them!
Not only are the characters great but I like how L’Amour really paints the image of the terrain, the wind and heat or cold. I also enjoy stories with horses and how important they were.
These stories are kind of like a fantasy of a different world yet something that existed and I find that fun and interesting.
I can definitely agree that he writes a vivid picture of a magical time that took place; a time which contrasts today to a point you feel sucked into reading more. Have a great Friday!
Yes! Rock on...
Did you recognize Jack Schaefer or Edward Abbey? Don’t know anything about them but thought it was cool they were also mentioned as early Western writer pioneers so to speak. I love the research I do on this video series, such great nuggets of info you uncover on authors. Hope you are well Thomas!
@kevintowle9665 Yes, I recommend both Schaefer and Abbey. I have an episode out there about Shane!
I will have to check that out good sir!
For the last 50 years I have read Every Louis L'amour Western. And for around 40 plus years L.L. was my favorite Author. But sadly that isn't the case anymore. I still enjoy rereading his Westerns but I do not have a favorite Author anymore. As some social media options give for a description I will just say that "It's Complicated" . However I am very pleased that LL is gaining popularity from people such as yourself that read LL and are spreading the word. Thank you -James
Thanks James for your insight. You always have some nice thing to say or some nugget of wisdom to impart. Be well friend!
Thanks for the video Kevin! I just finished Flint and loved it. I have more L'amour novels on deck. I also just finished Betty Zane by Zane Grey. that was a 5 star read as well. It's great to get into frontier/western novels.
Thanks for subscribing to the channel. Glad you enjoyed Flint. Do you find Grey to be on par or better than L’Amour?
Kevin, great vid. Like you, I’ve only read a handful of Lamours novels. Some better than others of course. Flint, The Californios, and Fallon are some of my faves so far. Not too many newer writers can do decent westerns but The Widowmaker series has been exceptional (Brett Cogburn). This series just keeps getting startingly better with each outing. Now, off to read my next Lamour (Hanging Woman Creek). Have a wonderful day!
Awesome, I will make note of your recommendations for sure. Thanks for the support and the great feedback!
I've read only two Louis L'Amour novels so far - both for the June on the Range event. I look forward to reading more. Thanks for telling us so much about him and his writing life.
You are welcome. This series I do on authors is one of my favorites on my channel. It’s always fun to research authors we enjoy and discuss interesting facts we may not otherwise know. Have a great weekend!
Great video. I love Louis Lamour books. He probably did need a good editor on some of them, as I have noticed some loose ends (would not go as far to say plot holes). I read once that he refused editing (may not be true as publisher may have insisted). Also, his short stories are normally tight and fantastic. His autobiography slash advice book “Education of a Wandering Man” is one of my favorite books.
Wow, I am not a fan of autobiographies, but I may make an exception for Louis. Glad you enjoyed the video. I have some short stories and look forward to getting to them on my Saturday Shorts series very soon!

@PhilbillyWV welcome and thank you. 🙏
I always say, L'Amour is the most underrated American writer. Like a lot of people, I'd see all those little paperbacks, and roll my eyes. No interest. But while not every story is amazing, he's no hack. Great adventure stories about the Old West, and American history. His work should be treasured.
1000 percent agree. Well said! 👍
BookTube is pushing L’Amour on me. I think I’ll have to cave.
It’s low commitment to give him a shot. Most books are 150 pages - 200 pages. I find them as great palate cleansers!
Where do you recommend starting with his work?
My expertise is limited mind you, but I really enjoyed High Lonsome and The Quick and The Dead…Flint and Down the Long Hills are great too!
@@kevintowle9665 Thank you!
Interesting background, I haven't read enough L'Amour.
Neither have I, and I plan to. They are quick entertaining reads! Hope you are well sir!
