Reviews for Yondering

[jamesjarrett00 · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

A collection of short stories based on the life the author lived or people he knew when he was younger and wandering the world. I find the portrayals of life on the waterfront during the depression era haunting. It gives you a look a rougher era.

This collection of short stories reminded me a bit of Clive Cussler's adventure stories.

Louis L'Amour is probably best known for the dozens of western stories he cranked out, year after year. However, buried deep amongst his tales of the American "wild west" are some stories of seamen, adventurers, and explorers. Yondering is a collection of short stories of that ilk. I liked reading these remembrances of the author's younger wandering, aka "yondering" days, clothed in fictitious characters.

A miscellaneous set of pulp adventure stories, but one of the first that got me interested in L'Amour whom I had thought of as just a western writer

Short stories are okay, but I had enough by page 121. There were some stories I real liked and I was really enjoying then the story ended. Others that I pushed through and was glad when they ended.

Stories ranged from miners caught in a cave in, battles fought in the mountains and sand to a cruise liner sinking at sea. There were stories of adventure, more of survival and the slowest times in a sailors life: stranded in port.

Stick this book in a desk drawer or glove box and read a story at lunch or when you're stuck in a parking lot and you'll find more enjoyment of it than trying to read straight through it.
