In the postscript Beau L’Amour writes: “Westward the Tide was Louis L’Amour’s first Western novel. Although not published in the United States until 1977, it was actually completed before Hondo, Utah Blaine, or the four Hopalong Cassidy stories that my father wrote for Doubleday. It was also a mysterious manuscript that vanished from our lives, not once but on two separate occasions, only to be miraculously rediscovered.

To understand the origins of this novel, I will have to take you back to the late 1940s.”

Inspired by the diary of a German settler that had been translated by Louis sister, Edna Lamoore Waldo, the only copy of the manuscript which became the book, took a trip around the world, and was published in England only to be lost again! A thrilling literary adventure worthy of a Louis L’Amour story!
