Yondering » (Reprint)

Louis L'Amour's 115 title-plus bibliography is astonishing on its own; even more so given the fact that his writing career did not start in earnest until his 40s. Simply being prolific, however, does not a bestselling author make. L'Amour's Western stories, as written by a real-life adventurer, capture the survivalism and code of honor on which the American frontier mythology rests.

"Over the years I have been proud to write about the men and women of the American frontier.  But I have written many stories with entirely different settings which I have long wanted to share with my readers.

"I have collected some of these in YONDERING.  They are glimpses of what my own life was like during the early years.  Those were the rough years; often I was hungry, out of work and facing situations such as I have written about.

"Although these stories take place in a variety of locales, they are stories of people living under conditions similar to the way they might have lived on the frontier.  I hope you'll enjoy YONDERING."
