As part of the Louis L’Amour’s Lost Treasures series, this edition contains exclusive bonus materials!Everyone was dead. Indian raiders massacred the entire wagon train. Only seven-year-old Hardy Collins and three-year-old Betty Sue Powell, managed to survive. With a knife, a faithful stallion, and the survival lessons his father taught him, Hardy must face the challenges of the open prairie as … open prairie as they head west in search of help. Using ingenuity and common sense, Hardy builds shelters, forages for food, and learns to care for Betty Sue. But their journey through this hostile wilderness is being tracked by even more hostile men. And, as he struggles to keep them alive, Hardy realizes that their survival may depend on his ability to go far beyond what his father had been able to teach him.
Louis L’Amour’s Lost Treasures is a project created to release some of the author’s more unconventional manuscripts from the family archives.
In Louis L’Amour’s Lost Treasures: Volumes 1, Beau L’Amour takes the reader on a guided tour through many of the finished and unfinished short stories, novels, and treatments that his father was never able to publish during his lifetime. L’Amour’s never-before-seen first novel, No Traveller Returns, faithfully completed for this program, is a voyage into danger and violence on the high seas. These exciting publications will be followed by Louis L’Amour’s Lost Treasures: Volume 2.
Additionally, many beloved classics will be rereleased with an exclusive Lost Treasures postscript featuring previously unpublished material, including outlines, plot notes, and alternate drafts. These postscripts tell the story behind the stories that millions of readers have come to know and cherish.

Great story
This is a very sweet story about children survival
Not your typical western these days. You can tell the author has great skill.
Very good read
Best Wester Writer there is. Give read over 200 westerns and Louis Amours books are the best of all of them.
One of the best of L’Amour’s books!! I love his stories – I live in Arizona and from his description of the scenery, it’s like I’m there. I have quite a collection of his books and wish I had more. I have 30+ leather-bound books, as well as some paperbacks. I re-read them at times. Wish he was here with us to continue to write more of his stories. HE WAS THE BEST!!
A typical Louis L’Amour western. If you own the original version of the book, then I would not recommend this, as what little is added is, in my opinion, not worth the extra cost. It’s an intertwining read, but not the most memorable of his westerns.
love anything Louis La’more writes!
Great book

I grew up reading Louis Lamour, reading them now as an adult is a nice ride down memory lane

I really liked it.
Louis L’amour was the best writer of both western and modern books. I have read all I could find by him.
If you like Westerns, good read.
Loved this book!
I have read and re-read this book so many times.This is by one of my favorite authors.I’ll be reading it again one day.
great western, kids on their own and overcoming because of good upbringing.
Not sure if a seven-year-old boy could do all that the book portrays. But he lived in a different century and had more to endure. I enjoyed it.
