I bought the entire Louis L’amoure library at an estate sale about seven years ago. He was a self made historian regarding the old west. Most of these books are amazing fiction based on the old west. He incorporates the changes brought about by barbed wire in some of them.
I love Louis L’Amour’s books. I read the entire Sackett series while recovering from surgery a few years back. enjoyed them then as much as I did the first time I read them.
