Kiowa Trail

... Show More
Kate Lundy, owner of the Tumbling B, and Conn Dury, her foreman, told Tom the rules: men from the cattle drives are forbidden on the north side of town. People appreciated the money the cowboys spent but thought them too coarse to be near their homes. Enticed to come calling by Linda McDonald, daughter of one of the leading citizens, Tom Lundy broke the law and crossed the line. Later that night, he was dead.

Outraged by her brother’s murder, Kate vows to destroy the entire town. But when Aaron McDonald sends east for an army of hired guns, Conn Dury and the men of the Tumbling B soon wonder if the price of Kate’s revenge is too high.


From the Paperback edition.

"John" in the reviews made the comment, "Initially a superior revenge Western, KIOWA TRAIL comes unglued in the third act once cheesiness and lazy writing take hold." That is a perfect description. L'Amour is a great storyteller - I wish the ending was tighter.

The narrative felt a little disjointed by some of the flashbacks, and there were a couple of plot conveniences that strained credibility. Still, it was another solid Western from one of the genre’s masters.

If you like stories about good guys who kick butt and get the girl and the bad guys who get it in the end, read Louis L'amour. He also has a knack for describing scenery, and every canyon, spring, etc. he mentions truly exists. He was a great authority on the American Wild West which is not quite how Hollywood often portrays it.

A woman cattle owner, her foreman, and their cowhands sell their herd, but then one, the owner's son, disobeyed the rule of the townsfolk and is killed. Thus begins the revenge tale of an eye-for-an-eye justice.

I really enjoy the concise writing---the preciseness--in setting up the story and running with it without the flowery and often unneeded details others often use.

This another enjoyable L'Amour western where the guy gets the girl at the end of the story. Fun to read with great action and L'Amour has always had a very engaging writing style. Highly recommended!

In this book there is a lot of action involved. the pace of the book is phenomenal. The setting of the book is set in the old western times. I really like western books so in my opinion this is very good. I recommend reading this book if you like action packed western based novels.
