Louis L'Amour
A WORD FROM LOUIS Lâ€™AMOUR,Â ,â€œAlmost four decades ago, when my fiction was being published exclusively in â€˜pulpâ€™ western magazines, I wrote a number of novel-length stories, known back then as â€˜magazine novels.â€™ In creating them, I lived with my characters so closely that their lives were still as much a part of me as I was of them long after the issues in which they appeared went out of print. Proud as I was of how I presented the characters and their adventures in the pages of the magazines, I wanted to tell the reader more about my people and why they did what they did. So, over the years, I revised and expanded these magazine works into novels that I published as full-length paperbacks under different titles.,Â ,â€œThese particular early magazine versions of my books have long been a source of considerable speculation and curiosity among many of my readers, so much so of late, that now Iâ€™ve decided to bring four of my â€˜magazine novelsâ€™ back into print in this latest volume of my short fiction.,Â ,â€œI hope you enjoy them.â€,Â ,FEATURING,â€¢ Showdown Trail,â€¢ A Man Called Trent,â€¢ The Trail to Peach Meadow Canyon,â€¢ The Rider of the Ruby Hills
