Callaghen (Louis l'Amour's Lost Treasures)

By Louis L'Amour

Book Overview

As part of the Louis L'Amour's Lost Treasures series, this edition contains exclusive bonus materials Callaghen's business is soldiering. For twenty years he'd fought all over the world, from China to the deserts of California; now he's a private in the U.S. Cavalry, poorly paid, his enlistment about to run out. He's ready to move on . . . until he comes across a startling discovery: a treasure map belonging to a dead lieutenant who may not have been all that he seemed. The map points the way to an underground river of gold . . . or does it? To find out, Callaghen will have to fight the toughest war of his life: against a fierce Indian warrior, a vindictive commanding officer, and a ruthless gang of outlaws who'll turn what may be a river of gold into a river of blood. Louis L'Amour's Lost Treasures is a project created to release some of the author's more unconventional manuscripts from the family archives. In Louis L'Amour's Lost Treasures: Volumes 1, 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, No Traveller Returns, faithfully completed for this program, is a voyage into danger and violence on the high seas. These exciting publications will be followed by Louis L'Amour's Lost Treasures: Volume 2 . Additionally, many beloved classics will be rereleased with an exclusive Lost Treasures postscript featuring previously unpublished material, including outlines, plot notes, and alternate drafts.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.

Army Man

A bad Indian, a mountain man outlaw, and an underground river of gold are the ingredients for this tale of the desert. Callaghen is another of L'Amour's Irish as they come characters you will either love to hate or just plain hate as he does and acts rather outrageously at times. But that is Louis L'Amour at times. Overall most of his books are good enough to read and get enjoyment out of them. This one is well worth reading, but not as good as his early work by any means. This one comes near what I describe as his most productive and creative period, and it shows in his writing. His early stuff is the best; the last things he wrote the worst, as I believe he was being pushed to write and write and write for Bantam so they could make more money.

Great Reading

Enjoyed reading this book alot. Have always liked any & all of Louis L'Amaur's books about the old west. It was a much simpler life-style, thouh at times also more dangerous. People seemed to have been more nicer to eachother & more helpful to their neighbors. Today everthing is such a "Rush-Rush" ...!

Good
