New York, NY Bantam 1989 232 p. 16 pages of portraits 23 cm D., 9/03 From his decision to leave school at fifteen to roam the world, to his recollections of life as a hobo on the Southern Pacific Railroad, as a cattle skinner in Texas, as a merchant seaman in Singapore and the West Indies, and as an itinerant bare-knuckled prizefighter across small-town America, here is Louis L'Amour's memoir of his lifelong love affair with learning--from books, from yondering, and from some remarkable men and women--that shaped him as a storyteller and as a man. Like classic L'Amour fiction, Education of a Wandering Man mixes authentic frontier drama--such as the author's desperate efforts to survive a sudden two-day trek across the blazing Mojave desert--with true-life characters like Shanghai waterfront toughs, desert prospectors, and cowboys whom Louis L'Amour met while traveling the globe L'Amour, Louis 1908-1988--Biography 21156 Novelists American--20th century--Biography 21157 ddc BOOK 2664 2664 0 0 ABELJ abelj B 2016-10-26 0 B LAmo 20457 2016-10-26 15.00 2016-10-26 BOOK
