LOUIS L’AMOUR TAKES YOU THERE!
Louis L’Amour’s amazing ability to “Take You There” in his stories, stems from the fact that he has BEEN there. His admiration and appreciation of the history, people and environment shines through and his eye for detail and ability to describe what he saw, allows the reader to envision each setting as though they were “There.”
From THE LONELY MEN:
“Through the chill dawn we climbed toward the high peaks, weaving our way among trees that dripped with moisture from the low-hanging clouds. Then we descended several hundred feet into a secluded park ringed with splendid pines. On the far side a cold, clear stream fell over a limestone ledge into a deep pool.
In every sheltered spot there were ruins … ancient ruins, half buried in earth or an overgrowth of brush or moss. In one place a gnarled and twisted cedar grew inside a wall, a cedar that itself must have been hundreds of years old.”
