“His death was a tragedy to anyone who admired literature, he showed people what a good story can do,
whether it was an escape from the everyday life or just a bedside companion. His stories painted a picture
in your mind that pleased anyone 8-80 years old, male or female. His writings could teach life lessons or
bring people closer together like it did between my father and I. His work can take you on an adventure
unlike others the average person is subject to. In a world that is so “high-tech” it’s a great feeling when you
pick up a L’Amour book and are taken on an adventure-filled ride through the world of literature.”
- S.J. Reese
Louis L’Amour was a famous American writer. His Western novels sold more than 225 million copies. In 1982 he won the Congressional Gold Medal, and in 1984 President Ronald Reagan awarded L’Amour the Medal of Freedom. L’Amour is also a recipient of North Dakota’s Roughrider Award.
When it comes to writing about the west and the American Cowboy, there is simply none better.
