About this audiobook

The Strong Shall Live
When they burned his home, he rebuilt it. When they shot at him, he shot back. But now the man they call Cavagan is in the worst bind of his life. With his hands tied and his body stiff from beatings, he has been left for dead at the bottom of a deep sand pit in the searing Santa Fe desert. Sixty miles from the nearest water. On foot, without a weapon, in one hundred and twenty degree heat. Only one thought drives him on: "I shall Live! I shall live to see Sutton die."
Keep Travelin', Rider
After an absence of several years, Tack Gentry heads home to his Uncle John's G-Bar Ranch. But when he arrives, the entire town has changed. What's more, strangers have taken over the G-Bar. Strangers who claim that Tack's uncle died in a gunfight. But Tack knows better. He knows his uncle was a strict Quaker-a man who never even owned a gun. The new sheriff in town wants Tack to get out of town, pronto-but Gentry vows to stay put and fight for the land he believes is his.
Strawhouse Trail
On a seldom-used smugglers' trail between Mexico and Austin, a man lies dying. Texas Ranger Chick Bowdrie takes the stranger's body to Valverde, the nearest town. Upon arriving, a crowd gathers, watchful and silent as Bowdrie tells his story to the sheriff. In the crowd is the beautiful blonde Rose Murray, owner of the RM Ranch. Rose explains to Bowdrie that she has reason to believe the stranger was coming to see her in order to right a terrible wrong. Twenty years ago, the Chilton Gang robbed her family. Once Bowdrie discovers the identity of the dead man, he wonders if the surviving members of the Chilton Gang have returned to recover.

    This is a short collection of stories by L'Amour. Some of them are quite good, some feel like fragments of longer works, and some are pretty rough (I thought the last 2 stories were especially rough and needed editing). There are several non-White characters in these stories, including one hero, a Hispanic landowner dealing with a bunch of racist neighbors during a drought brought on by overgrazing. The collection is pretty diverse, and a fast read.

    This was a good collection of stories. This was one of my dad's favorite books (and we laid a copy of it to rest with him), and I wanted to make sure I had read it. Louis L'amour writes a good story, and this collection is evidence of that.

    This book is an above average collection of Louis L'Amour's short stories, each one an example of the will to survive against the odds. In one tale, an actor faces certain death in order to protect innocents, while in another story Jim Bostwick realizes that he can't possibly survive an encounter with a gunfighter, an encounter he can't find a way to avoid. Each story has a different scenario, without predictable results or typical characters.This collection contains ten stories of people facing danger and death, with courage and determination, without backing down. I liked each and every one of these narratives.

    It has been quite a long time since I read a western so I thought I would give this collection of short stories a go. I got lucky, although L'Amour is of course a good writer. These are stories primarily about courage, about men tested in tough times on the frontier. I can't imagine western fans disliking these. They were easy to read and I enjoyed them. Some of these stories were excellent. The final story in this collection, "Bluff Creek Station", was especially moving. This 1980 collection does not indicate the origin of the stories, although with some searching I was able to track information down. "Bluff Creek Station" was published first in an earlier form as "The Blood of Ryan" in the magazine Thrilling Western, May 1951. It reads like a true story and I wonder if it is. Similarly some of the other stories appeared in Western magazines in the 50's. This collection really reminded me to include some L'Amour in my reading from time to time. Recommended if you like the genre - I don't know how this compares to the typical westerns however. 3 /12 - 4 stars
