If Louis L'Amour had stuck with just writing "westerns" and not gone into writing "sagas" I believe he would have gotten even larger in the publishing business. These "sagas" expound too largely and blatantly his personal opinions on subjects which, if he had more subtlety written about, definitely would have made him more easier to read and accept. Bendigo Shafter is bigger than life, and one might have suspected how this book would be written by reading L'Amour's preface and dedication: "To the hard-shelled men who built with nerve and hand that which the soft-bellied latecomers call the 'western myth'. If you really want "true" westerns then you need to read Luke Short or William MacLeod Raine or for romances of the west, Zane Grey. Louis L'Amour may have covered every bit of ground on which he sat his novels, but his opinions too often got in the way of good prose and good story telling.
