To Tame a Land: A Novel

You just can't beat a Louis L'Amour story. Everything is meticulously researched and if he writes about a stream, river,or pool of water you know he's been there and seen it for himself. The same goes for the areas that the story takes place in. I've got everything he's ever written and there's not a cull in the bunch. My opinion is that you'll enjoy reading him as much as I have.

Louis Lamour Western Series is a great set of Books

Louis L'Amour is still the best in Western writing for balanced story-line, descriptive powers, basic humanity and believable outcomes. 'To Tame a Land' is no exception, the one doubt in the story being the capabilities of the hero while still a young twenty-something in taming a whole lawless community. However, the author sustains a gripping narrative, a tested romance that titillates the reader and a satisfying sense of justice served when all is over. Louis L'Amour rarely disappoints in the quality of the story and his leading characters, along with his powers of description of the physical and human landscapes. He transports his readers easily into the real world of the old West.

I love a good western, read many of his works and never disappointed. Good paucity book, not fading text

Great reading

Exactly what I expected.

I’ve read this book a dozen times over the years. Always a good friend. Cannot go wrong with Louis L’Amour

A quick read with a great message, some good history and interesting characters.

Really enjoyed the book with a nice happy ending

For a book that is not my genre and written so long ago in 1955 I did get into the setting. Some of the writing styles are different to what I usually read and that is perfectly fine. The story is based over a period of time so it needed a faster pace of telling the story through day/scene changes. Regardless, I enjoyed this book and certainly will read more westerns. But that's another story.

A history of the West well told through the story of gunmen and horses and stage coaches and pretty women

possibly one of the best of this authors books and that's saying something if you like westerns you will like these books in my opinion you judge other westerns by how they measure up.

So far my favourite book by the master. The pace is fast and the story captivating from the first page. The book contains everything; a kid who grew up to be a hell of a man..drifting throughout the western towns becoming a marshall plus Indians, friendship, betrayal, fast draws, a bunch of outlaws and a love story. Go read the story of Rye Tyler - the Colorado gunfighter.
