'Trap of Gold' and 'Trail to Pie Town'

Louis L'Amour's Western Tales

By: Louis L'Amour

Narrated by: William Dufris

Here are two exciting adventures from the pen of Louis L'Amour.

In "Trap of Gold", Wetherton has been three months out of town when he finds his first "color", in a crumbling granite upthrust with a vein of quartz that is literally laced with gold! The problem is that the rocks are unstable, and taking out the quartz might just bring the whole thing tumbling down.

In "Trail to Pie Town", Dusty Barron has ridden his stallion at full gallop out of town, leaving behind him a man bleeding on the floor of a saloon. Maybe he could have explained himself, if two other men hadn't appeared and gone for their guns when they saw him. So Dusty took off. But the dead man had relatives in the area, and now it looks like he is going to be facing a clan war.

my grandma new what was good

After finding a soft back book from Louis L’Amour after my grandfather passed away. I remembered him of all things utilizing the time on the commode remembering a laugh
But he was absolutely right every minute counts utilize it after becoming paralyzed and diabetic reading has been coming difficult process and using Audible has proved to be quite educating! All of these books have been great this happens to be the very first novel that I had experienced from this author enjoy

Another good Lamour piece!

Louis Lamour is always so interesting but at the same time realistic! I hate stories that aren't true to life but his usually are!
