Can only fairly be described as “swashbuckling.” A 100-proof distillation of early American mythos. Big fan!

I love when Louis L'Amour delves into history. This is vaguely reminiscent of his later work "The Walking Drum" although not as detailed or epic in scope. Likewise, it is clearly written early in his career as it lacks some plot plausibility and character development. That said, this is pulp historical fiction in the vein of Treasure Island--a quick read that is good fun. Interested to see where the series goes from here.
