LTF Stock #: 000406
Louis L’Amour’s The Quick and the Dead is a classic Western novel set in the harsh Arizona frontier. When Con Vallian, a quiet, battle-hardened frontiersman, crosses paths with the newly homesteading McKaskel family, he becomes their reluctant protector against a ruthless gang of outlaws led by the cunning gunslinger, Duncan. Vallian’s code of honor compels him to defend the innocent, while the McKaskels’ struggle for survival forces them to face the brutal realities of life in the untamed West. L’Amour paints a vivid portrait of a landscape where justice is earned at gunpoint, morality is tested by circumstance, and courage defines a person’s worth. The novel blends themes of redemption, family, and resilience with L’Amour’s signature authenticity in depicting frontier life, moral tension, and human endurance. (Bantam Books, 1973; 240 pp.)
