From the Inside Flap"Over the years I have been proud to write about the men and women of the American frontier. But I have written many stories with entirely different settings which I have long wanted to share with my readers. "I have collected some of these in YONDERING. They are glimpses of what my own life was like during the early years. Those were the rough years; often I was hungry, out of work and facing situations such as I have written about. "Although these stories take place in a variety of locales, they are stories of people living under conditions similar to the way they might have lived on the frontier. I hope you'll enjoy YONDERING." --Louis L'AmourAbout the AuthorOur foremost storyteller of the authentic West, Louis LAmour has thrilled a nation by chronicling the adventures of the brave men and women who settled the American frontier.

What being human is all aboutBy kjenfanI love the writings, and especially the short stories, of Louis L'amour more than those of nearly any other author, and Yondering is by far his best work. Drawn from real-life experiences and set in intriguing cities, deserts, mountains and oceans throughout the world, Yondering takes its' readers on a fantastic but utterly believable journey. Each story tells us something of the nature of men, of the battles they wage, not just on the battlefield, but in their soul as well; we see men torn between pride and hunger, honour and lust, convention and common sense. At times the characters are painfully human; they make mistakes and pay for them dearly, yet we are drawn to that humanity, we relate to that same imperfection we are all victim to at one time or another. At times they are heroic and strong, compassionate and wise, showing us that even in our imperfect and naturally selfish state we can rise above our base emotions and passions and live with honour. I have read this book many times and never fail to find something new and thought-provoking in its' well-worn pages. It is one that I will keep by my side wherever my life takes me and I highly recommend that you read it as well.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. YonderingBy Richard HayesIf you haven't figured it out yet...I'm a L'Amour fan. This book tells of the boy who grew to a man, and what paths he took to become the famous writer he was. It also describes that period of the depression years, very well.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Love L"Amour booksBy FrostyI was intrigued by the human aspect of the stories in the book....live as it can be. I especially like the way L'Amour includes history of the "settings" in his books.
