About this listen

A collection of two stories by beloved Western writer Louis L'Amour

In "The Trail to Peach Meadow Canyon", Mike Bastian has been raised by outlaw chief Ben Curry and trained in frontier skills by Curry's most trusted associates. Curry now wants to retire from leadership of the gang he has headed for years. But he is frustrated in this ambition by various factions within his gang who want to seize leadership and by Mike himself, who is not sure that he wants to lead the life of an outlaw.

In "Showdown Trail", Rock Bannon, wounded in an Indian attack, is rescued by a wagon train. When the train pulls into a fort to stock up on supplies, the leaders of the train meet the smooth-talking Morton Harper, who persuades them to take an easier trail. But Bannon knows that there will be no escape from attack on that route—and that it will lead the train directly into Hardy Bishop's vicious land war.

Louis Lamour adds mystery to his stories.

Show Down Trail adds mystery to the stories as well as his wonderful descriptions. The characters become real and the reader is immersed in the story.

Two solid westerns from L’Amour

I definitely enjoyed both stories, but I preferred Showdown Trail slightly more even if the amount of characters to follow proved a bit confusing to listen to in spots. Other than that you can’t really go wrong with either story for good examples of classic western storytelling.

l Always Enjoy Luis L'amour But......

... these 2 stories were not his best work.
The second one I would not have recognized as written by L'amour.

The narrator did well.

Meh.

The first story was decent enough. it at least kept me entertained. When it got the second I lost interest. I kept asking myself how much longer it had. Hate to say it, but I abandoned it.
