Louis L'Amour - The Authors List

Louis L'Amour. The Authors List. I've read 7 of his Western novels. I read them all in 1972 while on a six month Navy Med cruise. 

During those months at sea I read a lot of books from Edgar Rice Burroughs. Also the first Godfather book but I ran out of books and was looking around for something to read. A large number of my fellow sailors were Country Western dudes from the South and were reading Western novels so that's how I got into Louis L'Amour... a classic writer of that genre. I read 7 novels during that cruise.

He wrote 89 novels in his lifetime plus another 14 short story collections and a couple of non-fiction books. The author described his works as frontier stories.

Louis L'Amour books I've read:

  • Sackett, 1961 - May 1972
  • Hondo, 1953 - Jun 1972
  • The Sackett Brand, 1965 - Jul 1972
  • Killoe, 1962 - Aug 1972
  • The Daybreakers, 1960 - Aug 1972
  • Lando, 1962 - Sep 1972
  • The Broken Gun, 1966 - Oct 1972
