Trailing West

By: Louis L'Amour

Narrated by: William Dufris

No one tells tales of the frontier better than Louis L'Amour, who portrays the humanside of westward expansion - the good and the bad - before the days of law and order. Collected here are six stories penned by America's favorite Western author.

"Trap of Gold"

Wetherton has been three months out of town when he finds his first color in a crumbling up thrust granite wall with a vein of quartz that is literally laced with gold. The problem is that the rocks are unstable, and taking out the quartz might bringthe whole thing tumbling down.

"Keep Travelin', Rider"

Tack Gentry has been away for a year when he returns to the familiar buildings of his uncle John Gentry's G Bar ranch. Now the ranch has a new owner, who tellsTack to make tracks. But Tack has other plans.

"Dutchman's Flat"

A six-man posse heads into the desert after a squatter named Lock who shot a man in theback. Once they catch him, there won't be any trial. But Lock knows the desert better than they do and can pick them off one by one.

"Big Medicine"

Old Billy Dunbar has discovered the best gold-bearing gravel that he's found in a year, but now he is lying face down in a ravine, hiding from Apaches. He is going to need a good strategy to get out of this one alive.

"Trail to Pie Town"

Dusty Barron shot a man, who had relatives in the area, and now it looks like he isgoing to be facing a clan war.

"McQueen of the Tumbling K"

Ward McQueen, foreman for the Tumbling K Ranch, rides into town and is shot down by gunmen and left for dead. But they made a critical mistake because McQueen is not dead - and he is looking to get even.

Tumbling k

Wish there was more of Kim Sartain and Ward. I loved their story. The plot in this book was excellent and the way all the parts including Texas Ranger R.I.P. Coker was perfectly added. I loved all the stories in this book because the western content and history they opened for the reader. I love Louis Lamour and all the books I have read and listened too.
