How is this book 5 stars? It’s so far out of my typical read I’m astonished.

The characters are amazing, and Louis L’Amour is an amazingly descriptive writer. The atmosphere and characters are portrayed in such detail that I’m almost convinced they are real people. I told my husband I would read this book for him (it’s his favorite and he asked me a bunch of times to read it) and although it was rough at the start it turned out to be an amazing read.
