Laramie Holds The Range
Frank H. Spearman
Lu par Bob R
As with most of Frank Spearman's novels (and non-fiction), "Laramie Holds the Range" is set in the West during our early railroad days. He used the best of the illustrators of the day, such as N.C. Wyeth. Occasionally, a character would appear in more than one of his stories. The strongest elements of his novels, including this one, are his outstanding descriptions of the landscape and the physical elements of his characters. In this story, Kate Doubleday travels West to join her father, whom she has never seen. Laramie is a mountain rancher, who is opposed by Kate's father and all of the large cattlemen of the range. While it is a familiar struggle, Spearman effectively weaves a plot that holds the reader's interest. (Summary by Bob Rollins, Augusta GA) (11 hr 51 min)

Critiques
great story, great reader
Suzanne
Reads like an old western movie from the 1950’s: gallant, misunderstood hero, pretty girl who misjudged him, bad guys, good guys and a happy ending. It took me a while to get into the story, but once it took off, I was spellbound. The reader has the perfect voice for the cowboy genre and he does a fabulous job reading the story. I’m going to look for other books by this author and other books read by this reader. I thoroughly enjoyed this book.
