Rivers West (Louis L'Amour's Lost Treasures)

A Novel

De: Louis L'Amour

Narrado por: MacLeod Andrews

The classic Western, now newly repackaged as part of Bantam's Louis L'Amour's Lost Treasures program—with never-before-seen material from Louis and his son, Beau L'Amour.

His dream was to build magnificent steamboats to ply the rivers of the American frontier. But when Jean Talon began his journey westward, he stumbled upon a deadly conspiracy involving a young woman’s search to find her missing brother, and a ruthless band of renegades. Led by the brazen Baron Torville, this makeshift army of opportunists is plotting a violent takeover of the Louisiana Territory. Jean swears to find a way to stop this daring plan. If he doesn’t, it will not only put an end to all his dreams; it will change the course of history—and destroy the promise of the American frontier.

Quality historical narrative fiction

Well written adventure novel about a young man coming of age during the period of early western expansion in America.

I think the integrity of the main character

I love his description of all the areas he goes through the rivers the boats I just can visualize it in my head and I feel like I’m there. I’ve read a lot of his books and I’ve liked everyone of them.

Incredibly narrated

Great story narrated very well. Every character distinct & recognizable with believable accents. I enjoy maritime stories & this gave a rare look into early American river travel.
