Story
Crispin Mayo was a reckless young brawler who’d left his tiny fishing village for the vast American frontier. Headed west to join a railroad construction crew, he came upon an isolated station - and a mystery. The shack was abandoned, but fresh blood spattered the floor, and the telegraph was clicking away unattended. When Mayo stepped inside and put a hand on the telegraph key, he had no way of knowing the course of his life would change forever.

Story
Rock Bannon is a man bred to the Colt and the rugged law of frontier survival. But to a group of naive homesteaders, his reputation as a gunfighter marks him as an outcast among decent folk. So when a smooth-talking scoundrel comes to camp, no one is ready to listen to Bannon's warning. He alone knows that Mort Harper's route leads to certain massacre. Now it is up to Bannon to protect the greenhorn settlers - especially the beautiful Sharon Crockett - and convince them of the truth about Harper before it is too late. For even if the wagon train survives the hostile Indians and desert ahead, it is bound for Bishop's Valley and a vicious land war.

Publisher's summary
In "Trap of Gold", Wetherton has been three months out of town when he finds his first "color", in a crumbling granite upthrust with a vein of quartz that is literally laced with gold! The problem is that the rocks are unstable, and taking out the quartz might just bring the whole thing tumbling down.
In "Trail to Pie Town", Dusty Barron has ridden his stallion at full gallop out of town, leaving behind him a man bleeding on the floor of a saloon. Maybe he could have explained himself, if two other men hadn't appeared and gone for their guns when they saw him. So Dusty took off. But the dead man had relatives in the area, and now it looks like he is going to be facing a clan war.

It’s the summer of ’77 in New York City, and the only thing more unnerving than the scorching heatwave is the rampant murder, leaving washed-up homicide detective Richard Dietrich on edge. When Dietrich investigates a brutal mob hit the brass doesn’t want him to solve, he goes from phoning it in to getting in over his head. Caught up in a mysterious second homicide with an even more perplexing perpetrator, Dietrich starts to second guess his instincts—and his memory—as he searches for answers at the bottom of a bottle.

This newer edition of the King James Bible published in 1769 is usually preferred by most that read it over the older 1611 version. This 1769 edition is highly sought after due to being more reader/listener friendly than the 1611 since many typos were fixed.... We hope your new audio bible will go everywhere with you and be a blessing for years to come.

It is there that the leaders of the train meet Morton Harper, a smooth-talking man who persuades them to take an easier trail that will allow them to escape an attack by Indians. Bannon knows that there will be no escape from attack on that route and that it will lead the train directly onto Hardy Bishop's vast ranching domain.

Story
More than any other writer before or since, Louis L'Amour brought the American West to life. His action-packed stories deal with eternal themes: honor, deceit, passion, betrayal, loyalty, courage, love. His settings are historically accurate, his prose riveting, and his characters colorful: good guys, bad buys, toughs, roughs, sidekicks and saints.

Story
Louis L'Amour is now one of the most iconic Western writers of all time, but once upon a time he was Jim Mayo, a regular writer for the pulps. Some of the tales he wrote in those days stuck with him enough that he later revised and expanded them into novels. But there was a special magic to the originals, and after research and restoration, these stories appear here now in their original form.

Back to my Roots
If you could sum up 'Trap of Gold' and 'Trail to Pie Town' in three words, what would they be?
The narration was great, and the story line made you feel like you where there or wanted to be!
What did you like best about this story?
It was a true western
What does William Dufris bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
The passion he places in the way he reads for each of the voices
If you could rename 'Trap of Gold' and 'Trail to Pie Town', what would you call it?
I wouldn't!!
Any additional comments?
Great buy!

my grandma new what was good
After finding a soft back book from Louis L’Amour after my grandfather passed away. I remembered him of all things utilizing the time on the commode remembering a laugh
But he was absolutely right every minute counts utilize it after becoming paralyzed and diabetic reading has been coming difficult process and using Audible has proved to be quite educating! All of these books have been great this happens to be the very first novel that I had experienced from this author enjoy

Another good Lamour piece!
Louis Lamour is always so interesting but at the same time realistic! I hate stories that aren't true to life but his usually are!

2 Stories--1 Big Disappointment
I love Louis L'Amour books, and can't believe he wrote "Trap of Gold"... there was nothing to it. "Trail to Pie Town" wasn't bad, but would have been better with another narrator.
Overall 4 Star rating is for "Trail to Pie Town".

Into the lion's den!
Trail to Pie Town
Into the lion’s den!
Dusty Barrin was barely ahead of the Hickmans, leaving Dan Hickman dead in the saloon in Harrea. There were nine Hickmans, Madis, and three Fisk boys in Harrea. Dusty’s clan was back in the hills, southwest of Harrea. Time to make tracks. Dusty headed for the Alkali Basin, they wouldn’t expect that. Trying to make peace in Harrea was a good idea but now the feud would be on fire. Dusty headed for Gallow Gap. Remarkably, he came across a young girl and boy traveling in a wagon. Gallow Gap was like paradise after the basin, and there they settled. The girl’s father was dead but purchased a partnership with a hombre named Dick Lowe before heading west. Dusty took the agreement and rode into Pie Town to see what was what. Dusty’s welcome was not very friendly…
Trap of Gold
Irresistible!
Weatherton was a prospector. Searching the base of the mountain, finding an alluvial fan of debris that showed some color. Working up the fan he found a large vein of quartz cobwebbed with gold. The upheaval of granite was very unstable, any disturbance could bring the whole structure down, burying the gold vein under tons of rock. He sat staring at the granite monolith, contemplating how to remove the gold. Slowly he cut into the base of the quartz. Day after day he cut deeper, the vein getting richer as he went. The danger and anticipation got ahold of him, finding it irresistible. He knew he should quit…

Two great L'Amour stories
While I enjoyed both, The Trap of Gold, shortest of the two, will probably stick with me the longest due to the suspense aspect. Mr. Dufris did an exceptional job communicating that one!

2 short stories
the book cover lift up short stories in backwards order. Book 1 is a great short story and I highly suggest you read the full story which is a full book before you read buck one.
chapter 2 or book 2 which is this first short story listed on the book cover ironically, is not a very good short story.
