Book of the Week: Kilrone by Louis L'Amour

I like westerns, and I've read a few of them by Louis L'Amour and I've enjoyed them. The latest book I enjoyed was "Kilrone." This was a good story and had some interesting characters, especially the main character, Barnes Kilrone, former Army officer who left the army. He wound up defending a fort from Indian attacks that were orchestrated by an insider, who turned out to be the villain of the story. It kept me reading and I finished the book within a week! Really enjoyable characters and story!
