honor of a lady...and finds himself the quarry of a relentless posse that wants to hang him high. An aging marshal who always used his headЧand his reputation as a crack shotЧ to avoid trouble fears he may have to draw his gun for real when a stranger who knows his secret comes to town.

These are stories of unremitting suspense and unforgettable drama, tales of the West told with unflinching honesty and absolute historical authenticityЧa truth that goes straight to the heart of our illustrious past. Louis L'Amour is a master storyteller and in West of Dodge he evokes the simple virtues and rugged individualism, the struggles of the law-abiding against the lawless, that have always been the essence of the indomitable American spirit.

LOUIS L'AMOUR is the only novelist in history to receive both the Presidential Medal of Freedom and the Congressional Gold Medal. He has published eighty-nine novels; eighteen short-story collections; two works of nonfiction; a memoir, Education of a Wandering Man; and a volume of poetry, Smoke From This Altar. There are more than 225 million copies of his books in print.
