Louis L'Amour's Western stories are beloved worldwide. Now, collected together for the first time in a single volume, are three of his finest tales of the West. The texts have been restored to their original appearances in magazines.
In "The Lion Hunter and the Lady," Cat Morgan is plying his trade-trying to bag a mountain lion alive in order to sell it to a circus or zoo. As he and Long John William try to lure the cat from a tree, they're interrupted by a lynch posse, the leader of which accuses Cat and Long John of running off his horse herd-and they intend to hang them right where they stand!
"The Trail to Peach Meadow Cañon" tells of Mike Bastian, who has been raised by an outlaw chief, Ben Curry, and trained in frontier skills by Curry's most trusted associates.
Jed Ashbury was stripped and forced to run the gauntlet by the Indians in "Riding for the Brand." Able to outfit himself from the contents of a covered wagon that had been attacked and left behind, Jed also learns what the mission of those killed in the attack was and determines to push forward with it-regardless of the consequences.
