Killoe
First published 1962
Set in the nineteenth-century Texas frontier during conflict with Comanche raiders and borderland criminals, Dan Killoe helps move settlers and livestock west while attempting to protect a fugitive whose pursuers include dangerous borderland enemies.
Against the historical background of Texas–Comanche Conflict, L’Amour builds the story around distance, terrain, travel and survival. His characters survive by reading landscape and people carefully, and the action is grounded in the practical realities of travel, work, weapons, distance and local authority.
