Guns of the Timberlands

Rating:
Summary: Classic early work of Louis L'Amour.
Review: The riders of the Bar B stand their ground when an army of lumberjacks arrive in Tinkersville to ravage the forest, an important part of the Bar B spread. Jud Devitt has a contract to supply railroad ties to the Mexican Central Railroad. He is a ruthless man and usually gets his way. He meets his match in Clay Bell, the tall and straight owner of the Bar B. When various legal maneuvers fail to dislodge the cattlemen, it's guns and fists in blazing Western action. The disparate visions of those who develop the land and those who exploit natural resources drive the conflict. Louis L'Amour breathes new life into the familiar elements of the Western story. Although this novel was written back in 1955, the environmentalist vs. capitalist angle sounds familiar. A clash between cattlemen and lumberjacks is an unusual variation of the typical Western conflict. L'Amours novels and stories are a quick hit of colorful Wesyern adventure. They are good lightweight reading and a pleasant change from the plugged-in clamor of modern life. ;-)

Summary: This is what the old west was all about!
Review: This is a classic underdog tale. Old fashioned good guy wears white and bad guys wear black kind of stuff. If you want a fast-paced, adventure-filled afternoon, then I suggest you pick this one up. Also, If you ever envisioned yourself beating up the bad guy and getting the girl, then you won't be making a mistake with Guns Of The Timberlands. It's one of the few books Lamour doesn't ramble on and repeat himself a hundred times over about something. This one is a keeper and a book that you'll find yourself reading time and time again. So, strap on your six-shooter and mount your cayuse! Because once you get engrossed in this one, in won't be long until your riding off into the sunset with your sweetheart.

Summary: Classic L'Amour
Review: When it come to Loius L'Amour this is as good as it gets. It's the classic battle of good versus evil. These books are always predictable, but they're still fun. You know what's going to happen before you open the book and yet the journey is still enjoyable. If you enjoy easy to read books with plenty of old west action pick this one up.
