Order of Louis L’Amour Books

Louis L’Amour (1908-1988) was an American novelist, or as he preferred to call himself, “an American storyteller.” Most of his writings were western novels, which he termed “Frontier novels,” though he also ventured into science fiction and historical fiction. Numerous adaptations of his works have been made into films, including Crossfire Trail, The Iron Marshal (as Shaughnessy), Conagher, The Quick and the Dead, Down the Long Hills, The Shadow Riders, The Man Called Noon, and many others. Over his nearly 40-year career, L’Amour authored 89 novels, 14 short story collections, and two non-fiction books, marking him as a prolific writer by any standard. His works continue to be in print today, and several have been published posthumously.
