Book Review By Lucy Johnson
Taggart by Louis L'Amour

Swante Taggart has gotten himself into a heap of trouble. Although it was a fair fight and Taggart was in the right, he had shot the wrong man and now he had a bounty-hunting lawman on his tail. The chase was sending them right into hostile Apache country and what Taggart stumbles into there is a sight to behold. He finds gold, lots of it, and connected to it could possibly be the woman of his dreams. Now the challenge was to get out of this alive, with the girl and her gold while staying one step ahead of the Apaches and the bounty hunter!
