Where The Long Grass Blows (1985) - Plot & Excerpts

Bill Canavan has wanted a ranch for several years. But he’s not content to rest with some dingy set of acres. He wants to own the most lush and fertile land in the valley. The scary thing is, he’s got it, deed and all. But the other, more powerful ranchers in the valley don’t know of his claim and are fighting over Canavan’s land. They’re ready to kill each other over it. They’d be willing to kill Canavan over it, too…But, for now, Canavan is content to sit back and watch the fight without announcing his prior claim. After all, it makes more sense to let his enemies destroy themselves so that he’ll have less of a battle. But he hadn’t counted on one thing. He hadn’t planned on meeting Dixie Venable and he hadn’t planned on falling in love with her. But she’s engaged to Star Levitt, the most powerful, unscrupulous man in the valley.Does Dixie truly love this scheming man? And will Canavan’s love for Dixie cause him to tip his cards too soon?Visit The Blithering Bookster to read the rest of my review!http://blitheringbookster.com/home/20...

"Where the Long Grass Blows" is a country novel. I've read a few country novels and this is a better one. However, if you start reading it and it seems that you don't like it, keep reading. At first you can't really get into it. It isn't until about twenty pages that you actually start finding you're interested. Bill Canavan is an aging western man who has been through murders, thieves, and fugitives, and is ready to lead a calm, happy life. The unfortunate part is that he has to battle those around him, as if from his old life, to get that peaceful life he wants so badly. Will he be forever sucked into the void of a criminal, or will he finally get that life of his he wants so dearly?

What do You think about Where The Long Grass Blows (1985)?

"There was a lonely place where the trail ran up to the sky, turning sharply away at the rimrock where a man could see all the valley below, a splendid green of forest and meadow fading into the purple of the farther mountains. It was a place where a man could look down upon eagles, soaring far below, yet thousands of feet above the valley's floor. Here at sundown a man came riding."Classic L'Amour."Most folks set their sights too high. They demand too much of life. How many meals can you eat? How many horses can you ride? How many roofs do you have to sleep under?"

I can't help it, I just love Louis L'Amour. Every once in a while I get an aching for some good old fashioned cowboy wrangling. That's when I go to L'amour. His novels are quick, full of action, written with clarity and realism. When I read one of his books I honestly feel that I'm in the Old West. The dust, the cattle, the dry heat, the smooth talking...I'm right there in the middle of it. Perhaps it's all those John Wayne movies I watched with my Grandpa, but I'm part cowgirl at heart.Bill Canavan is a man on a mission. He's taken the lay of the land and is ready to plant roots and settle down. He comes into a ranching town divided by a feud between the two big ranchers. Canavan has a plan to let them take each other out and then step in to pick up the pieces. What he wasn't counting on was Star Leavitt, a hard, cruel man with plans of his own, or Dixie Veneable, a lady after his own heart. It's typical western, which is what makes it so great.

Crispin Mayo was a reckless man who had left his tiny fishing village for the American frontier. Headed west to join a railroad construction crew, he found an isolated station. The shack was abandoned, but fresh blood spattered the floor, and the telegraph was clicking away unattended. When Mayo stepped inside and put a hand on the telegraph key, he had no way of knowing the course of his life would change forever and that he would become involved with a band of Civil War veterans with something against the government
