<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>A collection of twenty-one unfinished and never-before-released works from the "father of the American Western" includes short stories, film treatments, manuscripts, and personal notes.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>The first of its kind, a unique volume of twenty-one unpublished gems from one of the twentieth century's most popular and prolific writers</b><br> <b> </b><br>Using his father's handwritten notes, journal entries, and correspondences, Beau L'Amour uncovers how and why many never-before-seen manuscripts were written--and speculates about the ways they might have ended. <p/>These selections celebrate L'Amour's vision and virtuosity, including the first seven chapters of a powerful novel about the Trail of Tears, a chilling Western horror story, and a tale of the American Revolution featuring a character related to L'Amour's well-known Sackett family. At the other end of the spectrum are classic adventures, such as <i>The Golden Tapestry, </i>set in 1960s Istanbul, as well as several uniquely different attempts at what would have been the most profoundly intimate of all of L'Amour's novels, a saga of reincarnation that stretches from a time before time, to the period of Alexander the Great, and on to Warlord-Era China. <p/>Illustrated with rare photographs, this book reveals the L'Amour you have never known, his personal struggles as a writer, and the contest between mortality and a literary legacy too big for one life to contain. <p/><b>"Lost treasures indeed . . . a behind-the scenes look at the unpublished work and unrealized aspirations of an iconic writer of Westerns."--<i>Kirkus Reviews</i></b><br> <b> <br>"A valuable addition to [L'Amour's] literary legacy."--<i>Booklist</i></b> <p/>Louis L'Amour's Lost Treasures is a project created to release some of the author's more unconventional manuscripts from the family archives. <p/> In<i> Louis L'Amour's Lost Treasures: Volumes 1, </i> Beau L'Amour takes the reader on a guided tour through many of the finished and unfinished short stories, novels, and treatments that his father was never able to publish during his lifetime. L'Amour's never-before-seen first novel, <i>No Traveller Returns, </i> faithfully completed for this program, is a voyage into danger and violence on the high seas. These exciting publications will be followed by <i>Louis L'Amour's Lost Treasures: Volume 2</i>. <p/> Additionally, many beloved classics will be rereleased with an exclusive Lost Treasures postscript featuring previously unpublished material, including outlines, plot notes, and alternate drafts. These postscripts tell the story behind the stories that millions of readers have come to know and cherish.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Lost treasures indeed . . . a behind-the scenes look at the unpublished work and unrealized aspirations of an iconic writer of Westerns."<b>--<i>Kirkus Reviews</i></b><br> <b> </b><br> "A valuable addition to [Louis L'Amour's] literary legacy."<b>--<i>Booklist</i></b><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Our foremost storyteller of the American West, <b>Louis L'Amour </b>has thrilled a nation by chronicling the adventures of the brave men and woman who settled the frontier.
