I found this work to be inflexibly unremarkable. Actually, in my opinion, the stories were too short to be anything other then dull. The random arrangement and interuppting historical facts absolutely insured that this book was not a cohesive read.

All the stories range from good to great, with Down Sonora Way being the standout.

Another collection of L'Amour stories, this time all standalone short stories revolving around the Texas Ranger character of Chick Bowdrie. A little formulaic, but more cohesive than the collection I read just before this, Buckskin Run. Solid but mostly unremarkable L'Amour.

A second collection of short stories about Chick Bowdrie; this one was no more memorable than the first one I read. Sorry, folks; I wish I could be less negative on these titles.

Yep, I like Chick Bowdrie–Texas Ranger. This is a book with 10 shorter stories all about Bowdrie. Some of the stories are more like mysteries, and you aren't sure who the villain is until the end. Even Bowdrie doesn't know at times, but he is really good at pretending he knows, which can be quite troubling if you might be guilty.

I really enjoyed all the historical notes Louis L'Amour added.

There were some words I wished weren't in there.
