kid and will forever Another great read from L'Amour Really liked the characters and story I have never read a Louis LAmour book that I did not like and Brionne is no exception LAmour really knew how to tell a story He writes of a time when good guys were really good and the bad guys well they were bad I like the fact that most of the story took place in the high Uintahs in northern Utah an area I have hiked in many times I am not sure LAmour spent much time doing research on the geography that that is okay with me It was still a fun book with good characters and a happy ending This book is best read next to a fire on a cold afternoon A camp fire would be great but sitting by the fireplace in your family room is okay as well Louis L'Amour was an American author L'Amour's books primarily Western fiction remain enormously popular and most have gone through multiple printings At the time of his death allof his works were in printnovelsshort story collections and one full length work of nonfiction and he was considered one of the world's most popular writers Wikipedia.
