The Cherokee Trail: A Novel

I have a personally autographed copy of this book. I have had it since 1982 when I was out in Colorado visiting with some of my aunt's relatives and he told me he could get a book signed by Louis L'Amour. This just happened to be the one. As to the story: Mary Bredon has lost all--husband, home, life-style--so she continues on displaying the spirit of the west, and comes to run a stagecoach station on the Cherokee Trail. With the help of a gun man Temple Boone she finds the courage to succeed against tremendous odds. One of L'Amour's better efforts among the latter group of works he wrote and was published.

This is a really good book. The main character is a woman. I would really give this Book 7*s. She is widowed and has a little girl to take care of. She runs a guy out of the stage station with a whip so she can take over.

I'm a 15 year old boy who hates reading yet this is one of the only books I can't put down! It is great, theres action on every page. Louis L'Amour has done yet again with this instant classic. This story shows the coruage of one woman, who is afraid, but she won't back down1 It simply great! I loved it!

I loved this book! In the Cherokee Trail we meet Mary and her daughter Peg on their way to start a new life after her husband was murdered. Mary is planning to run a stagecoach station miles away for home. Little does she know that her husband's murderer is in town and knows her wareabouts. Mary meets many obstacles and dangers, but with the help of a mysterious gunman and an Irish maiden, she overcomes her fears and proves that she is there to stay. She is not the least bit afraid to whip the bad out of a bad guy! This is a MUST READ book!

I really enjoyed reading this book. The book The Cherokee Trail was about a women named Mary Breydon who travels west to Colorado to be the manager of a rundown stagecoach station. Mary's husband had originally planned to run the station, but he was shot and killed by a ruthless guerilla Jason Flandrau. This book has a lot of well developed characters including the quiet gunman with a past, Temple Boone, Matty, the irish maid, Wat Tanner, the boy who knows too much, and Scant Luther, the old station manager with a grudge. The story has a very interesting plot. Soon after she comes to Colorado, mary learns that Flandrau is a respected figure in the community and is up for Governer. Flandrau soon learns Mary is in town, and wants her dead because she could tell the town about all the plundering and wrecking he did in the south. To find out what happens to Mary, and to find out about Temple's interesting past you should read his book.
