Collection 2008 - Big Medicine (v5.0)

Book DescriptionFor millions of readers, the name Louis L’Amour is synonymous with the excitement of the Old West. His brilliant stories and novels capture all the adventure and action of those glorious days of the American frontier. But for too long, many of these tales have only been available in revised, altered versions, often very different from their original form. Here, collected together in e-book for the first time, are four of L’Amour’s finest stories, all carefully restored to their initial magazine publication versions. This collection includes L’Amour’s wonderful short novel Showdown on the Hogback, an unforgettable story of ranchers uniting to fight back against the company that’s trying to drive them off their land. “Big Medicine” pits a lone prospector against a band of nine Apaches. In “Trail to Pie Town,” a man has to get out of town fast after a gunfight leaves his opponent dead on a saloon floor. And the title character in “McQueen of the Tumbling K” is out for revenge after gunmen ambush him and leave him to die. Each thrilling story is presented the way Louis L’Amour originally wrote it, packed with the flavor and feel of the American West.
