Title: Great short story westerns
Review: Louis L'Amour is well known for over a hundred western novels he wrote. He also wrote dozens of short stories, many of which first appeared in magazines about fifty years ago. "Bowdrie" is a collection of short stories all about the same character, "Chick Bowdrie." Chick is a Texas Ranger. These eight stories are tightly written, with each having a mystery or puzzle that Chick has to resolve.There is plenty of action. Chick is a young man who is fast with a gun. For awhile Chick was torn between which side of the law he would be on. Another Texas Ranger convinced Chick to work on the side of truth and justice.Another fun part of this book is a number of short historical notes by Louis L'Amour. Each time in a page or two he describes actual events and people who lived in Texas about the same time these stories were written.These are great short stories. If you like short story westerns, this is a nice collection to have.
