About this audiobook
WHERE THE REAL FRONTIER BEGINS
A young cowpuncher stakes a claim that can only be sealed with fists and a .44 Colt. . . . A gunfighter, tired of violence, finds himself pushed down a trail of bloody revenge. . . . From purple sage to gambler's gold, from a señorita's tempting smile to a splash of blood in the dust, here are stories with a distinctive L'Amour twist. A quiet farmer defends his honor in a moment of panic and luck . . . only to find true courage on the run from the dead man's brothers. A young drifter defends a lady's honor . . . and finds himself the quarry of a hanging posse. An aging marshal with a reputation as a crack shot faces a stranger who knows his secret. With relentless suspense and unforgettable drama, Louis L'Amour once again paints a vivid portrait of our western heritage that will live forever.

Reviews for West of Dodge
40 ratings2 reviews
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This is a collection of stories that L'Amour never published during his lifetime. His son, Beau discovered them when he was going through his father's papers. Some of the stories are typical L'Amour with the hero using his knowledge of survival skills to flee from pursuers. Winter and cold weather seems to be a theme in many of the stories as well as the love of a woman causing men to fight one another."Let the Cards Decide" is a story about a card game that turned ugly when a gambler put up his mail order bride as collateral on a bet. The twist in the narrative had the collateral enter the game with her card playing skills.The title story has Kilkenney, a character from other L'Amour novels and stories as the protagonist. The story "Home is the Hunter" does not have the typical violent shot out ending but rather that outcome is avoided by a judge backed by towns people who forces a cattle baron to rebuild a woman's ranch and return her livestock.
