Description
Louis L'Amour revived the Western genre. His action-packed stories of adventure and survival are loaded with strong (traditionally male) heroes fighting for justice and making a way for civilization. Detailed descriptions of landscape-told in simple, clear prose-set the stage for constant adventure. Dangers arise from the natural hazards of a given place as well as the people in it. Cultural conflict is a pervasive theme, sometimes traced across generations of family experience: heroes respect the "old ways" of Native American peoples, yet realize change's inevitability as settlers flock westward.
