About this listen
Johnny O'Day shows up half dead at the Redlin's ranch, is nursed back to health, and given a job. The Redlin's son, Sam, falls in with bad company who plan to rob him.
Louis L’Amour (1908-1988) was a prolific writer of novels and short stories, usually frontier stories of the American West. Book sale estimates of 230 million and 330 million rank L’Amour among the bestselling authors in world history. L’Amour’s fiction continues to enjoy immense popularity as books, audiobooks, and films. L’Amour received many awards, including the Congressional Gold Medal and the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
L’Amour was born in Jamestown, North Dakota, the seventh child of a large animal veterinarian. He was a voracious reader and largely self-taught. He traveled the world as a merchant seaman, earned money as a professional boxer, worked as a rancher, miner, and lumberjack, and served as a lieutenant in the U.S. Army in World War II.

Majestically it rose from the icy waters, the gateway to the awesome wilderness of Alaska. Sitka drew all brand of adventurers, con men, criminals, and pioneers—men such as trail-tough, battle-hardened Jean LaBarge. He left the swamps of the Susquehanna behind for the rugged beauty—and deadly challenges—of this frozen frontier. But the empire-hungry Russians had already established a foothold in Sitka and they wouldn’t give it up without a fierce and treacherous struggle that stretched from San Francisco to the palaces of St. Petersburg.
