The Cherokee Trail

A Novel

By: Louis L'Amour

Narrated by: Carrington MacDuffie

A woman ahead of her time, Mary Breydon knew how to get things done. Raised on a Virginia plantation, she learned how to care for livestock, respect her workers, and keep good books. But after her husband is killed, Mary must provide for her young daughter by running a stage coach station on the Cherokee Trail. With the help of an Irish maid and a mysterious stranger, Mary faces challenges that even the men eagerly anticipating her failure would have a difficult time overcoming. After firing the previous station manager with the aid of a bullwhip, she must track down stolen horses, care for a wayward boy, and defend against Indians. If that wasn’t enough, she also has to protect herself from the man who murdered her husband—and is coming for Mary next.

Great story

Kept in suspense, another great story. Really enjoy listening to his books. Love listening to them when we travel.

Love this book!

Just another example of why Louis L’ Amour is my favorite author.
This books one of a few that a woman is the lead character. I love the way he tells and writes his stories! It’s just absolutely amazing!

Vintage L'Amour. I vouch for the accuracy of the setting, having traveled it by car

Laramie and the Overland Trail can still be seen. "Strong women" appeared under the conditions described. It should be noted that Wyoming was the first state to grant the vote to women. The accurate detail of the stage station, and the character of Temple Boone are, again, vintage L"Amour.

So so good

Great western starring a strong Southern lady. It is so encouraging and exciting!! Loved it!!!

Great

Louis L’Amour, always a great story, and Carrington MacDuffie did a wonderful job of narrating
