Perfect for you if...

You love classic Westerns with tight plots and morally complex characters who live by their own code.
You're curious about how great authors revised their work and want to read L'Amour's first drafts.
You enjoy straightforward storytelling with real stakes: guns, land, and honour on the line.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer character introspection and emotional complexity over action and frontier atmosphere.
You're looking for modern Western revisionism or deconstruction of cowboy tropes.
You want lengthy, literary explorations of the West rather than tightly plotted adventure stories.

About this book

This collection contains two works by Louis L'Amour in their original forms. The title story, "The Sixth Shotgun," is a tale of stagecoach robbery and frontier justice, presented here in its full-length version. Also included is The Rider of the Ruby Hills, a range war novel that was first published in a magazine before L'Amour expanded it into a longer version years later. This volume offers readers the opportunity to experience The Rider of the Ruby Hills as it originally appeared in its debut publication.
