The Tall Stranger

A Novel

By: Louis L'Amour

Narrated by: Robert Petkoff

Wagon trains heading west were forced to defend themselves against Indians, cope with injuries and illness, and struggle to find food. The group of easterners Rock Bannon was scouting for faced another problem. They were being deceived. When he warned them to remain on the Humboldt Trail, Sharon Crockett and the others refused to listen. Mort Harper, a stranger riding a beautiful black mare, had dazzled them with his charm and good looks. The southern route was the best way to go, Harper told them. But best for whom? Bannon wondered. That route led straight to the Salt Lake Desert. The conditions would be brutal. And if Harper wasn’t steering them toward those deadly alkali flats, where were they headed? And what would happen once they got there?

Nice story

I read this book years ago but Robert brought the times alive again. Thanks for the excellent story and narration

Really good read

Good story development. Took a while to get used to the old English the book is written in, but eventually you get used to it. First book that I’ve read by Amour & I’m hooked.

Great Story

A great story from a great man. Thoroughly enjoyed it and look forward to the next one.

The generations in my family who have read this author’s books is impressive and dear

It was interesting and the storyline had me wanting to follow the story until the end.

Great story

All was great. Typical Lamour novel. Well written and the flow was consistent. It was a very good narrative also
