The Wild West of Louis L'Amour is a richly illustrated, sumptuous book commemorating one of America's most beloved and successful authors and the landscapes, characters, and violent times he portrayed.Author Tim Champlin (himself a writer of Western historical fiction) uncovers all of the secrets of L'Amour's themes and characters - geography of the West, lone heroes, gunfighters, mining and ranching, women, Native Americans, food, and transportation. The frontier regions, towns, and events that featured in L'Amour's writing, as well as the real folks on whom his characters were based, come to life through thoroughly researched illustrations. The collection of more than 200 images includes maps, period photos and daguerreotypes, period illustrations, paintings of the regions discussed, modern photography of towns and countryside, and cover art from L'Amour's books and the pulp magazines in which he was published before he became a best-selling author.For the true L'Amour fan, The Wild West of Louis L'Amour is also a complete history of his colorful early life as a cowboy, lumberjack, longshoreman, prizefighter, merchant seaman, and army officer.No L'Amour fan will want to skip this comprehensive, beautiful look at the writer, the man, and the world in which he set his tales"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aWestern stories$xHistory and criticism 606 $aHeroes in literature 607 $aWest (U.S.)$xIn literature 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aWestern stories$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aHeroes in literature. 676 $a813/.52 700 $aChamplin$b Tim$f1937-$0987840 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910461033703321 996 $aThe wild west of Louis L'Amour$92258606 997 $aUNINA
