Louis L'Amour is truly America's favorite storyteller and the legendary voice of the American west. He was the first fiction writer ever to receive the Congressional Gold Medal from the United States Congress in honor of his life's work, and was also awarded the Medal of Freedom. Jim Gary had always tried to avoid trouble. But after he is forced to kill a Mexican gunman in a cantina showdown, trouble seems to seek him out. A shoot-out with the gunman's vengeful outlaw buddies sends Jim on the run, with an unwanted reputation as a dangerous gunslinger. And when he hires on as a cowhand for a friend, Jim risks being strung up as a rustler and murderer--unless he can use his wits as quickly as his guns. (less)
