This book has such a wealth of material about the plants of the Colorado mountains. It's not just pictures, though the photos are excellent, and botannical basics but also explanations of where the plants' common names originated and how they have been used medicinally. Its only failing is that it doesn't cover more.

This book, though a classic regular western as any of the other L'amours is not what you could call the best, like Daybreakers, or Last stand at Papago wells. The action part is not as fast paced as usual, with less emotions emanating in you. Moreover, the courting and love part is also desultry. If you generally like the westerns of L'amour, you can read it in one go, but the high points are few and far apart.
