Story
For thousands of years, the lonely canyon knew only wind and rain, wild animals, and an occasional native hunter. Then a trapper found a chunk of gold, and everything changed overnight. In six days, a town called Confusion appeared... and on the seventh it could disappear, consumed by the flames of lawlessness and violence. On one side are those who understand only brute force. On the other are men who want law and order but are ready to use a noose to achieve their ends.

Ninety years ago the Toomey brothers, along with 25 other men and 4,000 head of cattle, vanished en route to Arizona. When writer and historian Dan Sheridan is invited to the missing brothers’ ranch by its current owner, he jumps at the chance.

Always Good Listening!
I am a huge fan of Louis L'amour, I have read every book he has written. So it is nice to get to have the books read to me for a change. I also like the fact that these books don't have a lot of swearing and sex, I can listen to this book and not worry about my kids. I reall liked the narrator.

Simple but kept me thinking
Louis Lamour writes it where you feel like you could be the main character I can almost hear the leather creek in in the saddle and taste the dust from the trail.

Alta, Utah
Loved this from the beginning. Was so surprised when Alta, UT was included. I've lived at Alta for 40 years. Bucket of Blood is long gone but the Goldminer's Daughter is still here. Grandpa delivered the mail by horse team starting in 1898 despite avalanches until 1920.

Chronologically this is one of the best earlier books the L’Amour
This is the tenth Louis L’Amour book that I have read as I read them in chronological order. This is to this point by far the best of the ten books so far. A wagon train heading west, a father and his fifteen year old son, Rye Tyler, with wagon trouble left behind by the main wagon train is attacked by Indians. The father is killed the son survives. With his father and mother dead, hunts down the Indians and kills a few regains his horse and supplies. Returns to the wagon train and accuses one of the bad men of purposely leaving him and his father. He leaves the wagon train with a new gun fighter friend, Logan Pollard, and becomes a cattle driver. After loosing some cattle to a couple of Mexican bandits he hunts them down and shots one and his friend, Logan, saves him by shooting the second bandit. There are different opportunities in the book that Rye finds himself in a situation that he is required to use his guns. He travels throughout the west trying to hid his reputation and to New Orleans and back west as he tries to gather money to buy a ranch. He falls in love with a young lady, Liza, who is two year younger. He works for her father that get killed by a outlaw sheriff. The book pivots from the gunslinger Rye Tyler to a young man trying to reunite with his love interest, Liza. The book has a really unique twist as it concludes with a showdown between Rye and Pollard for Liza. It has some really cool character names like Mustang Roberts, Rye’s sidekick towards the end of the book and will have you counting the men that Rye guns down. This book was the first of Louis L’Amour that held my attention with a tight grasp throughout every word. This is definitely one Louis L’Amour book that you need to read.

Amazing book
Have read multiple L’Amour books. This is the best. Have read it twice, and it was just as good the second time. Great storyline and characters that just make you want to keep reading. Highly recommend.
