Louis L’Amour was the world’s best-selling western frontier novelist during the 20th century. Born in Jamestown, North Dakota, L’Amour early traveled most of the West, working ranches, farms, lumber camps, and waterfronts and talking with the people who built the West. L’Amour's 80 titles have sold over 110 million copies, and his novels have been translated into 10 languages. Many of his novels are set in Colorado–such as The Ferguson Rifle, The Proving Trail, and Tucker. The Sackett Family saga, his most popular series, spans three continents and three centuries.
