In The Sackett Brand, Louis L’Amour spins the story of a courageous man who must face overwhelming odds to track down a killer.Tell Sackett and his bride, Ange, came to Arizona to build a home and start a family. But on Black Mesa something goes terribly wrong. Tell is ambushed and badly injured. When he finally manages to drag himself back to where he left Ange, she is gone. Desperate, cold, hungry, and with no way to defend himself, Tell is stalked like a wounded animal. Hiding from his attackers, his rage and frustration mounting, he tries to figure out who the men are, why they are trying to kill him, and what has happened to his wife. Discovering the truth will be risky. And when he finally does, it will be their turn to run.

Louis L'Amour's life was as exciting as the fiction he wrote. And in this exclusive audio program America's favorite storyteller talks about his early experiences as a miner searching for gold and silver in the hard rock mines of the old West and gives his firsthand observations of the hard and dangerous life of a miner and the special breed of men who risked their lives daily to dig the earth for riches--and too often found their own graves. These collections are vividly re-created in Richard Crenna's performance of Dead End Drift, one of L'Amour's famous Yondering tales. This harrowing story of a real-life mine cave-in is L'Amour's fictionalized account of the last hours of four trapped miners and their courageous struggle to save themselves from certain death. Dead End Drift provides a unique look at Louis L'Amour, the man and his work.

In "One Last Gun Notch" Morgan Clyde is a professional gunman who has always hired out his gun as a matter of business. He has never let questions of who is right and who is wrong interfere with his actions. Matt Sabre is a young gunfighter in "Ride, You Tonto Riders" who is forced to shoot a man. He is shocked when, on his deathbed, the man gives him $5,000 and begs him to take the money to his wife. Guilt, regret, and a fierce will to do the right thing lead Matt Sabre to make that ride. In "Riders of the Dawn" Matt Sabre himself narrates a new adventure. It begins when he stops at Hattan's Point, a place he is not particularly interested in staying, until he is told by Rud Maclaren of the Bar M to choose sides, or ride out.

The Strong Shall Live When they burned his home, he rebuilt it. When they shot at him, he shot back. But now the man they call Cavagan is in the worst bind of his life. With his hands tied and his body stiff from beatings, he has been left for dead at the bottom of a deep sand pit in the searing Santa Fe desert. Sixty miles from the nearest water. On foot, without a weapon, in one hundred and twenty degree heat. Only once thought drives him on: "I shall live! I shall live to see Sutton die." Cavagan is one of Louis L'Amour's most remarkable heroes, a wily black Irishman honed by battle and baptized by fire. Now he's struggling for life -- and revenge -- in this brutal land.

Here is a very special Louis L'Amour book, a book to be treasured by his many fans and by a whole new audience of readers, for Frontier is an eye-opening celebration of the American land, including 213 pages of text and colorful illustrations of the beautiful West.“Frontier is a very special book for me. For more than thirty years in more than two hundred novels and short stories, I have written about many aspects of the American frontier experience—from the courageous explorers and early settlers of the sixteenth century on through the succeeding generations of the builders and shapers who followed them across the continent. However, for a long time, I have wanted to temporarily leave behind the boundaries of fiction to share more directly with my readers some of what I have learned and observed about our great North American land during a lifetime of study and appreciation. This land, which we hold in trust for future generations and which is ours to improve while we live, is a remarkable land. The landscape has enormous variety, which sometimes escapes visitors. In the twenty-five essays that follow I have tried to offer a few brief aspects of the history, geology, excitement, wonder, and overwhelming power of this land.”—Louis L’Amour, from Chapter I
