such an easy read when your inner dialog has a southern drawl

Western with a female protagonist
4 stars
This is the first of L'Amour's novels with a female protagonist that I've read, and though it was a nice change of perspective, he's not very good at it.
Still it was an exciting adventure, and occasionally funny when some big strong cowboy got put in his place by a teenage girl.
This is one of my Granny's old books; I imagine she probably liked Echo Sackett's headstrong and humble attitude.
๐๐๐ฎ๐ป๐ฒ๐ฅ๐๐๐ด๐ป๐บ๐ธ started reading Ride the River by Louis L'Amour
The second story "Keep Travelin' Ride" was pretty typical L'Amour, but in double time. The protagonist got himself in a really complicated mess, and then it all got resolved just as quick. I wish he would let a main character struggle a little longer, make the payoff more satisfying.
It was unusual in that there were legal issues, and the Texas rangers had to step in to help.
I've often complained that L'Amour's characters are never conflicted or doubtful. So, the titular story in this book of short stories was refreshing.
The protagonists are tracking a man who shot their friend, and over the course of their hunt they come to doubt whether their cause is just.
