Product Description
As far as the eye could see was a vast, empty horizon. Evie Teale had finally accepted that her husband wouldn’t be coming home. Now she and the children were alone in an untamed country where the elements, Indians, and thieves made it far easier to die than to live.
Miles away, another solitary soul battled for survival. Conagher was a lean, dark-eyed drifter who wasn’t about to let a gang of rustlers push him around. While searching the isolated canyons for missing cattle, he found notes tied to tumbleweeds rolling with the wind. The bleak, spare words echoed Conagher’s own whispered prayers for companionship. Who was this mysterious woman on the other side of the wind? For Conagher, staying alive long enough to find her wasn’t going to be easy.

From the Publisher
Conagher was the only man who could teach robbing, rustling Smoke Parnell and his murderous outfit the lesson the whole territory had been too afraid to give them. But when a woman steals his heart, Conagher has some lessons to learn himself.

This is the real West!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Conagher: A Novel (Paperback)
Very nearly the best Western that Louis L'Amour wrote. It finishes a close second to Flint, the best one ever! Conagher is so true to what the hard, tough life in the Old West must have truly been like. Hostile environments, punishing weather, sinister bad-guys and threatening Indians keep this story moving right along. Included as a very important part of this great story is the sense of overwhelming loneliness experienced by so many of those who packed up and relocated to the West. Conagher's eventual love interest has an unusual way of expressing herself and the depth of her lonely existence. Read it and you'll understand! Also, don't miss the movie version of this story, starring Sam Elliott, his real-life wife Catherine Ross, and the wonderful Barry Corbin. The movie and the portrayals by these actors is simply outstanding. Absolutely no one can portray a western character as realistically as Sam Elliott does! Louis would have been exceptionally proud!

The Finest Novel I've Ever Read,
By bestseller92 (Southeastern Oklahoma) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Conagher: A Novel (Paperback)
This is the finest novel I have ever read in my life, and I have read a LOT of novels, from Hawthorne and Twain to contemporaries like King, Koontz, Clancy, Grisham, Hillerman, etc. But this is absolutely the best. This novel proves that Louis L'amour, at his best, could do in 152 pages what most other writers struggle to do in 552. It is full of loneliness, heartache, honor, integrity, toughness, redemption, and action. Read the book and then watch the movie with Sam Elliott and Katherine Ross. You will LOVE them both. A masterpiece.

Vivid. . . . . draws you right into the "Old West".,
By A Customer
This review is from: Conagher: A Novel (Paperback)
An exceptional book, quite possibly one of his best. "Conagher" brings to life the dangerous and lonely life that was the "Old West". This books has it all, from its vivid portrayal of the rugged country and harsh lifestyle, to the characters themselves. L'Amour has a nack for drawing his readers into his stories and making them feel like they are actually there cheering the heroes on.
