The First Fast Draw
The First Fast Draw: A Novel | Louis L'Amour
3 posts | 2 read | 2 to read
You can't go home again.... East Texas wasn't much of a home for Cullen Baker. Few liked him, and some even tried to kill him. Yet after three hard years of wandering, he's come back to farm the land that's rightfully his. Only Cullen's in for an unwelcome homecoming: his neighbors have long memories, the Reconstructionists have greedy hearts, and his worst enemy has teamed up with a vicious outlaw. But Cullen isn't about to back down. Instead, he's intent on perfecting a new way of gunfighting—the fast draw. And now, with enemies closing in on three sides and threatening the woman he loves, he'll have to be faster than lightning—and twice as deadly—just to survive. From the Paperback edition.

Cullen Baker, is a young cowboy, who returns to his late parents' dilapidated farm to start life anew. Looming over him are old enemies, rival neighbours and post-Civil War Reconstructionists. A young lady has also caught his eye.
The action scenes are frenetic with the burgeoning romance delicately handled. Characters are well written and believable with women just as head strong and gutsy. For my first Western, highly recommend. Yee-ha!
