L'Amour, Louis (1908–1988)| US writer. He published a book of poetry in 1939, but it was his first Western novel, Hondo (1953), that gained him instant success. Although he would write a non-fiction book about the frontier and numerous film and television scripts, it was his many Westerns that gained him great popularity among a wide spectrum of readers. L'Amour was born in Jamestown, North Dakota. Leaving school when young, he travelled extensively and held a number of jobs, ranging from lumberjack to elephant handler. |
