The first of its kind, a unique volume of twenty-one unpublished gems from one of the twentieth century’s most popular and prolific writers Exploring the creative process of an American original, the Louis L’Amour’s Lost Treasures project will uncover the hidden history behind the author’s best known novels . . . and his most mysterious and ambitious unfinished works. In this first collection, Beau L’Amour presents many never-before-seen manuscripts. Using his father’s handwritten notes, journal entries, and correspondence, along with his own memories, Beau uncovers how and why they were written, as well as speculating about the ways they might have ended. These selections celebrate L’Amour’s vision and virtuosity, including the first seven chapters of a powerful novel about the Trail of Tears, a chilling Western horror story, and a tale of the American Revolution featuring a character related to L’Amour’s well-known Sackett family. At the other end of the spectrum are classic adventures, such as The Golden Tapestry, set in 1960s Istanbul, as well as several uniquely different attempts at what would have been the most profoundly intimate of all of L’Amour’s novels, a saga of reincarnation that stretches from a time before time, to the period of Alexander the Great, and on to Warlord-Era China. Illustrated with rare photographs and copies of handwritten notes, this book reveals the L’Amour you have never known, his personal struggles as a writer, and the contest between mortality and a literary legacy too big for one life to contain.Louis L’Amour’s Lost Treasures is a project created to release some of the author’s more unconventional manuscripts from the family archives. In Louis L’Amour’s Lost Treasures: Volumes 1, Beau L’Amour takes the reader on a guided tour through many of the finished and unfinished short stories, novels, and treatments that his father was never able to publish during his lifetime. L’Amour’s never-before-seen first novel, No Traveller Returns, will also be released as a Lost Treasures publication, followed by Louis L’Amour’s Lost Treasures: Volume 2. Additionally, many beloved classics will be rereleased with an exclusive Lost Treasures postscript featuring previously unpublished material, including outlines, plot notes, and alternate drafts. These postscripts tell the story behind the stories that millions of readers have come to know and cherish.

Louis L''Amour''s lost first novel, faithfully completed by his son Beau L''Amour, and available for the first time--the harrowing story of an American ship on a perilous voyage across the Pacific on the eve of World War II, carrying thirty-three men, each with his own hopes, dreams, and vendettas.On the eve of World War II, a westbound tanker ship carries dangerous cargo across the sea and a crew of thirty-three. There''s only one thing as unstable as the chemical freight the S.S. Lichenfeld carries--the tensions between crew members above and below deck. Chronicled by the insightful second mate John Harlan, as the ship voyages from San Pedro, California to Manila, fear and prejudice, class and ambition clash in a deadly mixture that reminds us what matters in life and how precious, how fleeting life can be. Written between 1938 and 1942, No Traveller Returns reveals the L''Amour his readers have never fully known--the first-time novelist. Delving deep into his father''s creative process, Beau L''Amour has undertaken careful research and revision to complete Louis'' lost novel in a manner that would fulfill the potential and preserve the spirit of his father''s original vision.

More unpublished works from the archives of Louis L''Amour: complete short stories, partial novels, treatments, and notes that will transport readers from the Western frontier to India, China, and even the future.In this second volume, Beau L''Amour continues to uncover how and why many of his fathers never-before-seen manuscripts were written--and gives us a glimpse into the plans his father had in store for them, using notes, journal entries, and correspondences. These twenty-one selections reflect L''Amour''s vision and virtuosity, including the beginnings of a post-apocalyptic science fiction tale, a proposal for a nonfiction project based on the life of Renaissance scholar Ibn Batuta, and two chapters of a historical novel set in India about the origin of L''Amour''s well-known Talon family. At the other end of the spectrum are classic adventures, such as "In the Measure of Time," a chance encounter set on the high seas, and a film treatment set in Mexico, as well as seventeen chapters of a novel that reappears throughout Louis''s journals and letters and speaks to his fascination with post-revolutionary 1950s China, leading him so far as to speak with the Dalai Lama. With rare photographs and commentary, this book further maps the journey one man embarked upon to become one of our greatest storytellers and the diverse realms to which his imagination travelled, making him a true American pioneer.
