Published in 1983, this epic novel about the early days of Los Angeles and the life in and around the Palm Springs Desert is pure L’Amour. His ideas and philosophy and his love of the old West is all there in the adventure and in the characters. Strong men and equally strong women fighting to help California grow into an important city. There are Indians and Spanish Dons and of course enemies to contend with. It is very refreshing to read L’Amour; it is also interesting that when his main characters speak, they use no contractions.
