RIDERS OF THE WESTERN TRAILS — Louis L'Amour

Four full-length novels by the king of western tales, Louis L'Amour, reprinted from his original magazine versions before his paperback publishers demanded changes. Many L'Amour fans believe the original versions are tighter, with stronger impact and more authentic flavor. Includes Showdown on the Hogback 1950 in Giant Western, expanded as Showdown at Yellow Butte 1953; The Rider of the Ruby Hills September 1949 in West, expanded as Where the Long Grass Grows 1976 (filmed as Treasure of the Ruby Hills 1955); Ride, You Tonto Raiders!, (short story collection), various magazines; Rider of Lost Creek, April 1947 in West, expanded as A Man Called Trent.
