Louis Dearborn L'Amour (1908-1988) was born in a small town in North Dakota, and as such was a source of awe and wonder growing up on those High Plains. Now, today, I get to go and visit the scenes of his stories. It is a true joy to stumble across a wagon road or coulee from one tale or another--if he said there's a river crossing or cavern someplace, you can count on it being there.
No matter what you think of the stories, these are snapshots of men and women in a new land. In God's chosen country. Some adapt, get along and survive. Others buck the land and get thrown.
