About this item

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 nine of L'Amour's ever-popular short stories-- history that lives forever. In Riding for the Brand, Jed Asbury comes across a derelict covered wagon--the people and their horses killed--and decides to finish what the former owners had set out to do. In Four Card Draw, Allen Ring wins a small ranch in a game of poker but Marshall Bilton is determined to make things difficult. In His Brother's Debt, Rock Casady is considered a coward because he won't go into town. But that was before Sue Landon asked Rock to accompany her to make some needed purchases and Casady can't say no to a lady. In A Strong Land Growing, Marshal Fitz Moore of Sentinel hears that outlaws plan to hit his town.
