About this listen
Chick Bowdrie, Texas ranger, on the trail of a counterfeiter, investigates a case involving bank robbery and two murders.
Louis L’Amour (1908-1988) was a prolific writer of novels and short stories, usually frontier stories of the American West. Book sale estimates of 230 million and 330 million rank L’Amour among the bestselling authors in world history. L’Amour’s fiction continues to enjoy immense popularity as books, audiobooks, and films. L’Amour received many awards, including the Congressional Gold Medal and the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
L’Amour was born in Jamestown, North Dakota, the seventh child of a large animal veterinarian. He was a voracious reader and largely self-taught. He traveled the world as a merchant seaman, earned money as a professional boxer, worked as a rancher, miner, and lumberjack, and served as a lieutenant in the U.S. Army in World War II.

Story
For the westerner trouble came with the territory. Long grass valleys, merciless deserts, sheer rock cliffs, icy streams, hidden trails, dusty towns: These were the proving grounds of daily life. At any time violence could explode and on the frontier there was no avoiding its sudden terrible impact. In this collection of his stories Louis L’Amour guides us to some of these untamed places where men and women faced the challenge of survival. And for the first time, L’Amour also presents a selection of riveting scenes from western history that are every bit as exciting as his stories.

Most folks would call Kim Sartain an easygoing, peace-loving man. But the few who crossed the young drifter knew there was nothing he liked better than a good fight. When cattleman Jim Targ challenges Sartain's right to ride across an unclaimed stretch of meadow, Sartain decides he'll do better than ride through: He'll put down stakes there and homestead the land. So there's more at risk than land and pride when Targ hires a gunman to teach Sartain a permanent - and deadly - lesson

They came by river and by wagon train, braving the endless distances of the Great Plains and the icy passes of the Sierra Nevada. They were men like Linus Rawlings, a restless survivor of Indian country who’d headed east to see the ocean but left his heart - and his home - in the West. They were women like Lilith Prescott, a smart, spirited beauty who fled her family and fell for a gambling man in the midst of a frontier gold boom. These pioneering men and women sowed the seeds of a nation with their courage....
