All it takes is one DAUNTLESS man... Everyone knows the Randolph
Boys are the roughest, wildest bunch the frontier has to offer.
Madison Randolph considers himself lucky to have escaped their dry
and dusty Texas town-and the dark secrets that haunted him like a
second shadow. But when his brother is accused of murder, he has no
choice but to pack up everything he knows and return home to clear
his family's name. He thinks he's prepared for the fight of his
life...but nothing could brace Madison for what's waiting there for
him. As tough as any man who ever tried to stand in her way, Fern
Sproull is determined to see her cousin's killer hang for his
crime. No smooth-talking stranger's going to stop her from seeing
justice done. While the townsfolk of Abilene prepare for the trial
of the century, Madison and Fern will have to ready themselves for
a knock-down, drag-out battle of the sexes...that might just have
two winners. Previously published as Fern.
As part of the Louis L'Amour's Lost Treasures series, this edition
contains exclusive bonus materials! Kilkenny wasn't looking for
trouble when he entered the Clifton House stage station, but
trouble found him when a reckless youngster named Tetlow challenged
him, drew his gun, and paid for it with his life. Looking to escape
a reputation that he never wanted, Kilkenny settles in the lonely
mountain country of Utah, planning to ranch a high, lush valley.
But the past is on his trail. Jared Tetlow is a powerful rancher
determined to run his vast herd on the limited grasslands
there--whether he has to buy out the local ranchers, run them out,
or kill them. He'll cut down anyone who stands in his way,
especially a man he already despises: the gunman named
Kilkenny--the man who killed his son. Louis L'Amour's Lost
Treasures is a project created to release some of the author's more
unconventional manuscripts from the family archives. In Louis
L'Amour's Lost Treasures: Volumes 1, Beau L'Amour takes the reader
on a guided tour through many of the finished and unfinished short
stories, novels, and treatments that his father was never able to
publish during his lifetime. L'Amour's never-before-seen first
novel, No Traveller Returns, faithfully completed for this program,
is a voyage into danger and violence on the high seas. These
exciting publications will be followed by Louis L'Amour's Lost
Treasures: Volume 2. Additionally, many beloved classics will be
rereleased with an exclusive Lost Treasures postscript featuring
previously unpublished material, including outlines, plot notes,
and alternate drafts. These postscripts tell the story behind the
stories that millions of readers have come to know and cherish.
In this classic L’Amour adventure, a dark-eyed drifter wages a war against a murderous band of rustlers.
As far as the eye could see was a vast, lonely horizon. And Evie Teale and her two children were all alone here now, alone in an untamed country where the elements, the Indians, and the thieves made it far easier to die than to live. But soon a man named Conagher would drift into her life — and together they would have the courage to make a stand.
The Virginian (1902) is Owen Wister's classic popular romance, and
the most significant shaping influence on cowboy fiction. Its
narrator, fresh from the East, encounters in Wyoming cattle country
a strange, seductive and often violent land where the handsome
figure of the Virginian battles for supremacy with Trampas and
other ne'er-do-wells. His courtship of the genteel Vermont
schoolteacher, Molly Wood, is a humourously observed battle of the
sexes, demonstrating that the 'customs of the country' must
eventually prevail. Rich in vernacular wit and portraying a
romanticized escape from the decorum of the patrician East, The
Virginian exudes a sense of redemptive possibility, drawing on
Wister's experience of a summer spent on a Wyoming ranch in 1895.
This edition includes Wister's neglected essay, `The Evolution of
the Cow-Puncher' (1895), a revealing companion to a novel that has
disturbing undercurrents. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years

The Lonely Men
Tell Sackett had been lured into the Apache's mountain stronghold by the icy beauty of his brother's wife. He didn't go alone. John J. Battles, Spanish Murphy and the half-breed Tampico rode beside him. Each was driven by his past to test his speed and cunning against an enemy who could smell a white man a mile away-and then shoot his eyes out at a dead gallop. It was a contest few men could enter-and fewer still could hope to win.

From generation to generation they pushed ever westward with a restless, wandering urge, a kinship with the free, wild places and a fierce independence.
The Sacketts always stood tall and, true to their strong family pride, they would unite to take on any and all challenges, no matter how overwhelming the odds. Each Sackett novel is a complete, exciting history adventure, and read a s a group, Louis L'Amour's The Sacketts form an epic story of the building of our mighty nation, a saga cherished by millions of readers around the world for more than a quarter century.
