Showdown Trail (Dramatized)

By: Louis L'Amour

Narrated by: Richard Crenna

Rock Bannon is a man bred to the Colt and the rugged law of frontier survival. But to a group of naive homesteaders, his reputation as a gunfighter marks him as an outcast among decent folk. So when a smooth-talking scoundrel comes to camp, no one is ready to listen to Bannon's warning. He alone knows that Mort Harper's route leads to certain massacre. Now it is up to Bannon to protect the greenhorn settlers - especially the beautiful Sharon Crockett - and convince them of the truth about Harper before it is too late. For even if the wagon train survives the hostile Indians and desert ahead, it is bound for Bishop's Valley and a vicious land war - a war that will force Bannon to oppose the innocent settlers.

Louis L'Amour introduces his fans to one of his favorite - and lesser known - characters from his vintage "magazine novels". Now the story of Rock Bannon comes to life again in this exciting program.

My favorite Louis L’amour

Love the story and the reader does such a fantastic job- this is my favorite of all of his books!

One of Louis L'Amours best!

The dramatized version has long been my favorite. Glad to be able to hear it again.

Loved it!

If I can find anymore by this man, I'll buy them, his voice is so lively and it draws you into the story. Definitely recommend.

Well Done

I really like that this book is dramatized. The added music makes it more enjoyable. Good story.

Another good story by Louis L'amour

If your look for western where the author understands the times and the people Louis L'amour is it. He's not only an amazing story teller but he also studied and learned how the people where back then. He also studied the land and how it made the people in it. You can't go wrong with any book by Louis L'amour.

Richard Crenna great narrator

Richard Crenna is great! Wish Audible could get the versions of L'amour's "Hartman's Castle/Trap of Gold" also narrated by Crenna.

Great listen

cool story exciting characters and the lamour story of gunfights and the old West with a little romance.

Good story, good reader

Goes real fast, pay attention, Crena did a good job. I like the background music and reality noises.

Not dramatized

The story was not dramatized which is very disappointing it’s an interesting story but it said it was dramatized

Too many characters, hard to follow

If you’ve listened to books by Louis L'Amour before, how does this one compare?

Not one of his best. I listen to many of his, and love them all. This one has many, many characters, and a subtle story line -- a little tough to follow.

What three words best describe Richard Crenna’s voice?

Pleasant and expressive.
