Sir, are you casting doubt on anything Louis L'Amour has written. I will meet you at dawn behind Dunking donuts and I will bring the dueling pistols. A pair of Lorenzoni Flint Lock Repeating pistols. All joking aside, One reason I like his books, if he writes about a certain object or land feature you can bet your booty the object was ln existence and or the land feature is or was there. I have been lucky in being able to visit many of the places he has featured in his books and if for example he states a hill or a water hole is in a certain place you will find it
