Like classic L'Amour fiction, Education of a Wandering Man mixes authentic frontier drama--such as the author's desperate efforts to survive a sudden two-day trek across the blazing Mojave desert--with true-life characters like Shanghai waterfront toughs, desert prospectors, and cowboys whom Louis L'Amour met while traveling the globe. At last, in his own words, this is a story of a one-of-a-kind life lived to the fullest . . . a life that inspired the books that will forever enable us to relive our glorious frontier heritage.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Random House US, 1990","offers":[{"title":"Education of a Wandering Man \/ Very Good","offer_id":54064854597924,"sku":"9780553286526VG","price":3.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/9951\/4148\/files\/9780553286526.jpg?v=1726631450","url":"https:\/\/brookingsbooks.com\/products\/9780553286526","provider":"Brookings Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
