About the book
No writer is associated more closely with the American West than Louis L’Amour. Collected here are two of his most exciting works, in their original forms. The title story, a tale of stagecoach robbery and frontier justice, is finally available in its full-length version. Similarly, the short novel included in this volume, The Rider of the Ruby Hills, one of L’Amour’s greatest range war novels, was published first in a magazine, then expanded by the author into a longer version years later. Here is a chance to experience the novel as it appeared in its debut, as L’Amour originally wrote it.
