The Quick and the Dead - Louis L'Amour

Bantam, 2020, 184 pages
Original copyright 1973
Read: December 2024, age 46

This is the first L'Amour book that I've read - it was surprisingly good.  It was a bit a product of its time, but also significantly less sexist and racist than I was expecting. Mostly, I wanted more details - the book was very short, and reading more about the trials of running a wagon across the untracked prairie, and of setting up a homestead and all of that would be a book that I'd like to read.  This one basically glossed over all of that in favour of a few gunfights.
