Louis L'Amour said that the West was no place for the frightened or the mean. It was a ''big country needing big men and women to live in it.'' The two stories in this collection (Big Country, Volume 1)provide a good sample of the kinds of people he had in mind. In Ride, You Tonto Raiders Matt Sabre is a young and experienced gunfighter. When he shoots a man who forces him to draw, to his surprise, the man on his deathbed gives him $5,000 and begs him to take the money to his wife who is alone defending the family ranch in the Mogollons. A combination of guilt, regret, and wanting to do the right thing leads Matt Sabre to make that ride. In War Party a boy on the brink of manhood, a resourceful frontier woman who has beauty as well as fortitude, and a strong male character who is single and hence marriageable come together in this powerful, romantic, and strangely compelling vision of the American West.

I purchased this audiobook for my husband, but ended up listening to it on a long vacation. The dramatization was excellent and the stories: How can you go wrong with Louis L'Amour. I'm not even a western novel fan, and I enjoyed them all!

I loved Stefan Rudnicki's reading of these Western stories. What great old fashioned story-telling. I have bought another for my Dad since he is a L'Amour fan. Nice read.

When we travel, we listen to books-we like all types.My husband especially enjoys Louis Lamour. These stories are well read and entertaining.Thank you for having them available.

Order this for my husband as possible new series for him to listen to while driving. He usually listens to the "Mountain Man" series. He did not like this one. It did arrive in perfect condition and shipping was prompt.

A super item to take camping. We sit around the campfire listening to great stories told by a great author.

I so much enjoy listening to books as I drive to town or on errands. This one is so good that I listened to it again just two weeks later.

First it is a poor recording with many skipped places and seems to fade out and back in in a way distracting from the story

ordered for friend who can no longer see to read and loves Louis Lamour
