Louis L'Amour's Lost Treasures: Volume 1: Unfinished Manuscripts, Mysterious Stories, and Lost Notes from One of the World's Most Popular Novelists

The first of its kind, a unique volume of twenty-one unpublished gems from one of the twentieth centuryâ€™s most popular and prolific writers
Â
Using his fatherâ€™s handwritten notes, journal entries, and correspondences, Beau Lâ€™Amour uncovers how and why many never-before-seen manuscripts were writtenâ€”and speculates about the ways they might have ended. These selections celebrate Lâ€™Amourâ€™s vision and virtuosity, including the first seven chapters of a powerful novel about the Trail of Tears, a chilling Western horror story, and a tale of the American Revolution featuring a character related to Lâ€™Amourâ€™s well-known Sackett family. At the other end of the spectrum are classic adventures, such as The Golden Tapestry, set in 1960s Istanbul, as well as several uniquely different attempts at what would have been the most profoundly intimate of all of Lâ€™Amourâ€™s novels, a saga of reincarnation that stretches from a time before time, to the period of Alexander the Great, and on to Warlord-Era China. Illustrated with rare photographs, this book reveals the Lâ€™Amour you have never known, his personal struggles as a writer, and the contest between mortality and a literary legacy too big for one life to contain.

â€œLost treasures indeed . . . a behind-the scenes look at the unpublished work and unrealized aspirations of an iconic writer of Westerns.â€â€”Kirkus Reviews

â€œA valuable addition to [Lâ€™Amourâ€™s] literary legacy.â€â€”Booklist
