That's a neat story. I ran into one, also, when I was a college student. I looked in the card catalog. One of his books was there, an original copy of his book of poetry, autographed to a doctor and his wife. This would have been in the late 1920s (?).

I’ve got almost every book and short story he ever wrote. Got hooked as a kid . Still re read them all the time.

Fantastic writer. If I ever get through all of them, I'll just start over again.

This show holds up well over time.Hi, Morley RIP

My dad's favorite author (based kn how many of his books he has). Great interview, too. A historian in his own right.

This is a great interview! Louis L’Amour is an American icon!!

Indeed. L’Amour is my all time favorite writer of western fiction. His novels have it all: adventure, action and characters that stick with you

My late hub owned and read them. I got him a leather bound set! Plus we bought a complete set of paperbacks from a friend’s garage sale. Dave had great taste!

The best western writer of all time! Loved his audio dramatized as a kid.

My favorite author. I have read every one of his books three or four times. My favorite is probably the walking drum. Amazing man. The america he was born in is now gone.

Currently writing a modern day western novel, and a grey hair just pointed me in his direction. So glad they did.

I read and re-read his books. Love them all!

Thanks to Louis L' Amour I was able to fully understand how America came into being. The historical significance of his books is far underrated. I am now 74 and have been reading & re-reading him since I was 19. I absolutely adore this man ! ! !

What a man.... what a real man!

Mr. Lamour had an AMAZING life!

He faked his death.

I lived North of St. Louis in 1986-1991 . It was then that I met Louis through reading his novels , triggered by a movie that I watched about the Sacketts . I had been severely injured and had much time for laying and reading a book other than the Bible . Louis made you feel like you were actually there in the novel with his Characters . I missed getting to meet him a couple months before his untimely death. I had just had a major spinal surgery when it was announced on the local News that he had a book signing in St.Louis . I was heartbroken when I heard that he had passed away . May he be safely in the arms of JESUS CHRIST , and may there always be a road ....Yol bosun , Louis !!

I carry a day pack when I hunt that includes, among the usual tools needed for a hunt, two Louis L’Amour books; Conagher and Sackett. They provide great entertainment between long glassing sessions and keep me from getting bored between the prime hunting hours around dawn and dusk. I think he would have appreciated the “stay in field all day” hunting methods I grew with and still use. God rest his soul.

One of my favorite authors.

Very smart man

Big fan, I read most all of his books, many more than once. I always liked the Kilkenny character.

A truly great American.

Guy was helping me move. He picked up a new paper bac Louis L'Amour looked at it and tossed it in the trash. I thought how sad. He had no idea. That's sad. Course I retrieved my copy. Really don't remember title but why would it matter. They all are great. My absolute favorites are The Sackets. They were sad too, sad I read the last book and there's no more. Read em all over and over. Thanks for the trip back in time Louis L'Amour. Sharing your savvy.

Love Louis L'Amour. But, this interview sounds like his books, word for word. :)

FABULOUS! Thank you so much for making this interview available to us. What a great man Mr. L'Amour was, and continues to be through his many literary works.

“Native” peoples across the world, went to war with each other throughout time. How many cultures were wiped out of existence by similar ones? The Aztecs fought their neighbors, the Mayans. The Apache warred with the Navaho. Some tribes completely disappeared long before Columbus, at the hands of other tribes. There were clan wars in Japan and feudal wars in Europe, and countless others across the globe.

What's also true, is history tells us that if "native" peoples do not organize, form governments and have a lawful society, someone will overtake you and do just that. Many "native peoples" have been displaced by other people more organized. But then again, if you can't defend it, is it really yours in the first place? That's why you colonize, organize, set up forms of law and fairness. Ours was a government set up by and for the people, with the consent of the governed...ie. We the People. A society that all functions together, not a loose band of feudal tribes.

While intertribal warfare is true, it still cannot be denied that the arrival of European Colonizers and America’s militarized westward Manifest Destiny expansion did way more damage than any intertribal warfare combined. I mean the first six shooter and repeating firearm - The Colt Patterson - changed the histoof the world and warfare alike. Sure it helped the Texas Rangers fight off the fast rapid bow and arrows of the Comanche, but in turn it nearly erased the Comanche and the many other Nations. So Im one that it's reckoned to best remember that in this sort of conversation.

3:00 - Not to take anything from the esteemed Louis L’amour, one of my favorite writers…but actually Karl May, a German author dating back to the early 1900s is the most widely read writer of Westerns.

It's unknowable who was the "most widely read".

As a kid, my dad had piles of L'Amour novels at the house. When my siblings and I got into trouble, he'd make us read them and write book reports as punishment. My brother and I would never tell him how much we loved these books lest he chose a new punishment 😂

I like LLamour books, taking into account his stories reminds Fabulous Baron Munchausen. Pity he had avoided some important , controversial events which happened during time and place he covered.

I'm awfully biased and for me, nobody's second to Zane Grey. Yeah, he was a dentist from New York, but he walked away from that career and went west and did most of the things he wrote about. I still love Louis L'amour's books though. Lonesome Gods is a masterpiece but I';m currently chewing on volumes 1 through 3 of his collected short stories.

My favorite book is the walking drum.

I thought it was awful! He was great at westerns but his attempt at the Middle Ages just didn't work for me. But I'm glad you enjoyed it.

This may sound like sacrilege, but I never got into L’Amour’s westerns. I really liked his non-western stories, though. And his poetry isn’t bad, either.

L’amour had nothing to do with “High Noon” though. That film was based on John Cunningham’s short story “The Tin Star” (1947)

Louis L'Amour would get cancel-cultured today for a number of the statements he is making in this 1976 interview. I wonder how many of his books are now censored.

Yes, way too much time-wasting intro. Morley was always a full of himself windbag, especially when it came to the arts. He fancied himself as quite a knowledgeable art critic. 🙄 It's too bad, I could listen to L'Amour talk for hours; he was the REAL expert!

Great admirer of Mr.L'Amour. But, sorry...his view and REALITY of Europeans occupying Aboriginal land is so fk'd up! I'm sure, like a LOT of his contemporaries, he sees it as 'conquest' (as would be the case in Tasmania., New Zealand and Australia). I'm sure if a non-white were to do the same TODAY in Europe or Scandinavia, THEN setup THEIR own government and implement a version of THEIR law and 'justice', surly it would seen as 'invading'. In any case, brilliant writer.

I am not sure I understand your point. You speak as though the Natives here were perfect before the arrival of Europeans. You do realize for centuries, tribes in the Americas would conquer, enslave and eradicate other tribes time and time again. I am not sure why the Europeans arrival is marked as being so atrocious when you had native tribes sacrificing children and women of captured tribes to appease their spirits.

@kriskabin

Жыл бұрын

Mr. L' Amour said the European's conquering of America was "inevitable." (The numbers of Europeans & their advanced weapons technology was the reason. It wasn't a personal bias on L'Amours part, he just KNEW the unfortunate & unjust facts of history. ) He was incredibly learned & well-read, & all throughout his fiction books was well-researched facts. ( This is why he's the only Western writer that I read because of his extensive knowledge of American & world history. ) Nonetheless, I certainly do understand your grievances about the injustices toward Indiginous Peoples. Nearly every treaty the Am. gov had with various tribes were NOT kept. Dirty deals, LIES, massacres of women & children, & forced conversion to white ways & religion was WRONG! EVIL! ***Prior to the horrors of Nazi Germany, the Germans studied how we Americans subdued & "conquered" an entire continent of people to take it over. So, the first holocaust in modern history happened here in America first, against the Natives. Hitler & his inner circle studied our crimes to manifest their own.

Yeah, Louis got a lot of his history wrong. He thinks he's "demystifying" things, but he's TOTALLY bought into the myths. Still, great writer, love his books, but he's one of the most un-realistic Western writers. Too big an idealist, got way too much wrong, far too much whitewashing of history, but... it's fiction. As long as people understand that, his stories are really entertaining.
