Comstock Lode by Louis L'Amour is a very good an exciting and suspenseful book

Comstock Lode by Louis L'Amour is a very good an exciting and suspenseful book. Comstock Lode is about a man named Travallion who originally came over to America from England as a young boy; his parents were murdered by a gang of thugs and so he has to survive the wilderness of America on his own. Of course there is more to it as well, but giving any more detail would be to spoil it for those of whom who have yet to read it.

Louis Dearborn L'Amour (/ˈluːi ləˈmʊər/; March 22, 1908 – June 10, 1988) was an American novelist and short-story writer. His books consisted primarily of Western novels (though he called his work "frontier stories"); however, he also wrote historical fiction (The Walking Drum), science fiction (Haunted Mesa), non-fiction (Frontier), as well as poetry and short-story collections. Many of his stories were made into films.

It was just a godforsaken mountainside, but no place on earth was richer in silver. For a bustling, enterprising America, this was the great bonanza. The dreamers, the restless, the builders, the vultures—they were lured by the glittering promise of instant riches and survived the brutal hardships of a mining camp to raise a legendary boom town. But some sought more than wealth. Val Trevallion, a loner haunted by a violent past. Grita Redaway, a radiantly beautiful actress driven by an unfulfilled need. Two fiercely independent spirits, together they rose above the challenges of the Comstock to stake a bold claim on the future.
  • I have read many L'AMOUR stories and have loved them ans savored them. This was not in the same category. Although there were interesting parts, it was crafted poorly. Lloyd's claim to fame is due in large part to his subtle, crisp style. So I was amazed at how lumbering, repetitive, and choppy this was. There were too many subplots, too many secondary characters, too many contemplative introspection moments. I found myself skimming to the end. I have never skimmed one of his stories before. I think Louis wanted to tell the fascinating complex story of the gold rush. The many details of that period seemed very real. The plot suffered because it was strung out too long.

  • Everything you wanted to know about gold and silver mining in the gold rush days. Very interesting and in depth information. As usual L'Amour's protagonist is a quiet, honest and hard working man who's hell on wheels with a gun. I long ago read what I thought was everything L'Amour had written but missed this one, which is one of his very best stories.

  • A great Western. Enough plot twists to keep you interested. Louis is a great story teller. Good strong hero and a beautiful women. Bad guys are bad. seems to be historically and geographically correct.

  • In typical fashion for his work Louis L'Amour demonstrates his vast knowledge of the short but legendary era of the American cowboy. That knowledge lends a unique authenticity and tone to each of his novels and in Comstock Lode we not only have a fast paced story line with well developed characters; we have an authoritative exploration of the gold rush. L'Amour strips away the glamor usually associated with gold digging and shows us the back breaking, often disappointing labor it required. I enjoy L'Amour's vision and presentation of the old west even more than Zane Grey's.

  • A very mature storyline that draws you in. So many times I expected it to go a certain way consistent with his books and it didn't. Instead it had little surprises that would heighten my anticipation

  • I have read and reread this book about 15 times . And i enjoy it each time. Too bad his son didn't continue.

  • This story deals with situations that really could have happened. Some westerns have a hero who gets shot 87 times, beats up a couple hundred dudes, and passes out after saving the day only to wake weeks later with a beautiful woman caring for him. This book is about the struggle of a man with his past, who works hard and does well because of his persistence and good morals. It's a classic, one that will never go out of style, in my opinion.

  • Louis L'Amour is just the best western author out there. Hands down! All of his fans are still saddened by his death back in 1988. So much he left unwritten. But it is still a wonderful experience anytime to read any and all his novels. If you have never taken the time to experience a Louis L'Amour novel I suggest do it. you won't regret it!
