Publisher's summary

It was a name that caused the most hardened gunmen to break out in a cold sweat: Texas Ranger Chick Bowdrie. Pursuing the most wanted men in the Southwest, he knew all too well the dusty trails, the bitter cattle feuds, the desperate killers, and the quiet, weather-beaten towns that could explode into mayhem with the wrong word. He had sworn to carry out the law, but there were times when he had to apply justice with his fists and his guns. They called in the Rangers to handle the tough ones, and there was never a Ranger tougher or smarter than Bowdrie. Join Chick Bowdrie in six classic western adventures from America's favorite storytellers, brought to life in vivid audio dramatizations.

Just as good as I remembered as a boy

I used to listen to these old stories in audio cassette as a young boy in the 90’s growing up. It was a constant companion while traveling on road trips or sitting at home bored.

I decided to buy these to see if it was all just nostalgia in my mind; nope, the writing is great, the voice acting and sound effects are top notch. If you love this period and/or have enjoyed L’Amour’s books, thus is a great buy. I’ve read many of his books, ironically very few books about Chick Bowdrie. But every audio book I ever listened to: Bowdrie, Sacketts, McQueen, etc were always great and I’m preparing to buy more.

If you like westerns you'll love it

I very much like the Bowdrie stories. This collection has many of the best tales and is worth listening to more than once. I only wish I could get Volume 2 if there is one.

Great variety

A nice variation from the Sackett series. A central character and theme yet totally different stories. This collection is a welcome change my favorite author.

Great stories!

We love these stories. Louis L'Amour does such a good job of simulating Western life stories using his extensive research and creative writing.
