To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I was six years old and my father was dying.
Only last year I had lost my mother. She died longing for that far-off, lovely California where she was born, and of which she never tired of talking.
"Warm and sunny," people said when speaking of California, but I knew it as a place where fear lived.
Now we were going there. We were crossing the desert to face that fear, and I was afraid.
My father sat close beside me trying to sleep, but torn occasionally by violent spells of coughing that caused t...he other passengers to turn their heads, some in pity, some in irritation.
Our wagon, drawn by six half-wild mustangs, plunged into the night, rocking and rumbling over a dim track that only the driver seemed to see. Ours was a desperate venture, a lone wagon with two outriders attempting the crossing from Santa Fe to California.
Lying awake in the darkness, I remembered what people in Santa Fe had said. "It's a crazy idea! One wagon? Even if they can slip by the Apaches, the Yumas will be waiting at the crossing of the Colorado.

If I read "rhe old times are changing: once more I'll have myself committed. Lamour gets VERY boring when he goes into "historical crap having his illiterate characters give destailed histories of partciular periods of hundreds of years before , citing exact dates that copud never have been known by the most intelligent illiterate.Another rubbishy piece od pseudo philosophy is all his characters discover a very ancient alost invisible trail whenbeing hunted down for death. Instead of the guy making haste and gettintas far a way as possible he begins "philosophixing, about "The OLd ONes" who must have mde this trail and whe theyn may have been and why they there there, and where they vanished to, then proceeding with the pseud history of those who followed them and likely pushed them out,all this whilst supposedly trying to escape a horrible death from pursuers.
I often turn over pages and pages of this craps to try to fins some actual action. So I miss bits and pieces here and there. Makes little difference the story ends with happy lovers .
Not one single Lamour piece of crap is without one or more vicious fights between two unequally matched men of whom the lesser ALways wins in the end. They are tiresomely the same even to every blow by blow. He must have a script of one fight and repeats it over and over.
We are spared nothing. Like Mark Twain's criticism of Fenimore Cooper, his hero never ceases to find that little round pebble to step on at a crucial fight point. One could state with confidence that without that pebble there is NO fight.
So we hate all pebbles.

when the hero begins to wonder, "if I would be better out in the waterless desert than here having plenty to eat and drink, THAT"s the time to condemn Lamour's books to the fire.After going through this crap trying to find an "unphilosophical" story, I'll never look at another Lamour book-ever.
