   Hey, I suspect you're correct.  Thanks for the correction.   
      
   I did not remember it being from a Louis book, but stands to reason.  I'll   
   check next time I visit my mil next week and see if that's the book.   She's   
   got the entire set of Louis books.  It's actually in her will that her set   
   of Louis and her set of Zane Grey come to my house after she's gone.   
      
   I always joked that the difference between Zane and Louis, was that in Zane   
   Grey books, the cowboy never even got to kiss his horse; in Louis L'Amour's   
   books, he did get to kiss the horse, but never the girl.  They were clean,   
   clean clean.   Probably why they are not a best seller today.
