Thanks, Beau, for continuing Louis’ work. I have over 90 of his books, pick up those I don’t already have at “Paperback Alley”, in Ponca City, Oklahoma. I’ve read all of my Louis’ books at least half a dozen times. I am 75 years old and have lots of time to enjoy HIS books. His are the only fiction books I read. I had a stoke in 1980 or so and my short term memory isn’t all that great, so, when it’s been over a year since I’ve read one of Louis’ books,it’s a whole new world..and I enjoy every moment of it.
:-}. My grandpa Tripp homesteaded in the “Last Land Run”, the Cherokee Strip, on September 16, 1893. That quarter section.a couple miles NE of my home, is still owned by my first cousin, who lives a mile east of me. So, I have a frontier background. Thanks again..

As we say in Oklahoma, “Y’all take care, ya hear!”

Wonderful material on Louis L’Amour. Love his work.As a youngster my father read Zane Grey aloud to us; And later my father-in-law lent me his Louis L’Amour books.I believe he purchased many of these from used book sales.Both of these men are gone now. Iam still buying Louis L’Amour books at flea markets, used book sales and auctions. I currently have 63 copies and give any duplicates I find to Veterans Hospitals.Good reading!Thanks so much.

Thanks for all You have done to restore some of the work your Dad has done . We enjoy reading them over and over. I currently own almost all of the books and stories that he wrote, and keep watching for more.

I just wanted to say how much I appreciate your fathers work. I started reading his books when I was about 12, and have never put them down. I have all of his westerns in my home, and have read most of them a dozen or more times over the years. I feel your father has helped shape my life with his writings. I have always tried to be an honest, dependable person…like Tell or Lando or Jubal or Kin Ring. I am very sorry that his writing has ceased, but I feel the world is a better place because of him.

I’m glad you are continuing with Louis L’Amour stories. I read his Hopalong Cassidy books in the 1960′s and have read many of his books (saved them) and have read two of “The Collected Short Stories by Louis L’Amour”.

Keep up the excellent work and be Proud of a man that wrote stoies and gave all readers an education on the process of colinization and life-styles of other characters.

Thank you
