How the West Was Won

De: Louis L'Amour

Narrado por: Joe Morton

They came by river and by wagon train, braving the endless distances of the Great Plains and the icy passes of the Sierra Nevada. They were men like Linus Rawlings, a restless survivor of Indian country who’d headed east to see the ocean but left his heart - and his home - in the West. They were women like Lilith Prescott, a smart, spirited beauty who fled her family and fell for a gambling man in the midst of a frontier gold boom. These pioneering men and women sowed the seeds of a nation with their courage - and with their blood. Here is the story of how their paths would meet amid the epic struggle against fierce enemies and nature’s cruelty, to win for all time the rich and untamed West.

Very good story.

It teaches a lot about life on the plains.It also includes good details.It was just a very good story.

superb performance; excellent historical fiction

Could easily distinguish characters. Captivating storyline with fast-paced plot. Next best thing to reading it myself!

great book

A very good book keeps you wanting more and gives you a feel of life in the old west.

Outstanding

Before I listened to the book. I would take the book over the movie, which I really enjoy , anytime.

Can't get better

I love Louis Liam our books. He had an easy style of writing, and is so easy to read or listen to. This book spans several generations of a family that moves out west. Some make it great, and some just don't make it, dying on the way. it's a true picture of the struggles to survive such hard times.

Movie

this book was written off of the movie how the West was won. It was a good narration and also a good movie.

I thought the movie was good!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

No wonder they made a movie out of this book! This book is outstanding! The fascinating lives of the family tree that begins out east and moves across the continent kept me hooked, wanting to keep listening to see how the story would unfold. I sat up late night at night skipping sleep to listen to the book, not wanting to stop but keep going. Great book, well written!!! Highly recommended!!!
