# 127 Where Buzzards Fly (Louis L'Amour)


Another great western story from the mind of Louis L'Amour. This time Texas Ranger Chick Bowdrie is on the trail of unknown killers who've wiped out a band of notorious Mexican outlaws. It's high stakes adventure in this thrilling tale of law and order.

From Louis L'Amour:
Texas Ranger Chick Bowdrie tracks the killers of an infamous Mexican outlaw, Zaparo and fourteen of his desperadoes. With only the slightest clues to the ruthless ambush, Bowdrie is led to the K-Bar Ranch, and the beautiful girlfriend of the last living member of Zaparo's gang--only to find his prime suspect is a man closer to the Texas Rangers than he ever dreamed.

Chick Bowdrie is a Texas Ranger. His job is to bring in those wanted by the state of Texas. It doesn't matter to him if he brings his prisoner back sitting on a saddle or laying across one. Either way he's going to get his man. Case Closed - No Prisoners is another of the great western stories from Louis L'Amour and one of the best in the Chick Bowdrie audio drama series.

From Louis L'Amour:

Ride with legendary Texas Ranger Chick Bowdrie as he helps out a small town with a big problem. Someone has brutally murdered the local banker and made off with forty thousand dollars -- and it appears to be the work of someone who knows his way around town.

#44 Strange Pursuit -Chick Bowdrie (Louis L'Amour)


Another great western tale from Louis L'Amour.

Bowdrie wants Charlie Venk. Big, handsome, Venk is best known for rustling cattle, robbing banks and shooting men out of their saddles. Shrewd and intelligent, Venk is riding hard on the sorrel he's stolen right from under another man. His good looks, fast gun and reckless wit have already made him a legend. So Bowdrie has to be smarter, faster and more relentless in tracking his prey across dusty cowtowns, barren desert landscapes and through the canyons and pine forests of northern Arizona into deadly Apache territory. But he never dreamed he'd be called upon to snatch Venk from the jaws of a horrible death to prove to the wild young killer that he's finally met his match!

#33 Rain on the Mountain Fork - Louis L'Amour


It's western fun in this suspenseful thriller from Louis L'Amour. Rethel Bean brings the no nonsense Texas Ranger Chick Bowdrie to life in Rain on the Mountain Fork.

From Louis L'Amour
The stagecoach axle had broken, and the road was washed out by a landside. It was the travelers' luck to find warm shelter in an isolated sod shanty on the mountainside while rain teemed down and thunder crashed around them. But Lew Judd is nervous as he plays cards with a fellow traveler, the stage driver, and two of the three men who were in the cabin when they arrived. A quiet man in rough company, Judd is an Easterner headed for a new life in Santa Fe with his lovely yound niece, Nelly. He worries about her safety — and about the hidden money belt that holds his life's savings.

About Chick Bowdrie:
Lawman, manhunter, peacemaker–it takes a hard breed of man to survive as a Texas Ranger, but Chick Bowdrie stands head and shoulders above the rest. The rough trails are his home, from the Big Thicket to the Pecos to the border. He's dried by the desert sun and wind, scarred and toughened by uncounted gun battles, and when you look into his black eyes, it's like looking down the barrels of two .44s with their hammers drawn back. He rides in the name of justice, but he lives by his own law–Bowdrie's Law. And if you're thinking about walking on the wrong side of Bowdrie's Law, you'd better start running. Fast.

#11 South of Deadwood - Louis L'Amour


South of Deadwood is a L'Amour classic that takes you into the heart of the old west. Ride along with Chick Bowdrie, Texas Ranger and experience the adventure and hardships of bringing in a criminal. Another great adaptation by Charles Potter and David Rapkin. There's nothing better than a Louis L'Amour western in the modern era of radio drama. No other modern western series comes close.

From Louis L'Amour:

Louis L'Amour brings you back to the real Deadwood, South Dakota. He describes life in the rough town where even school kids packed guns, and talks about some of Deadwood's most famous and infamous inhabitants such as Wild Bill Hickock, Calamity Jane, Seth Bullock, and others.
South of Deadwood
Take the stagecoach into Deadwood with Ranger Chick Bowdrie to bring a notorious killer back to Texas - and justice. When he meets a beautiful young woman convinced Curly Starr can clear her brother's name, Bowdrie agrees to help. But first he must elude the rest of Starr's gang who wait for the legendary lawman and his prisoner to leave town - so they can kill them both!

#6 Down Sonara Way - Louis L'Amour


Down Sonora Way - A gripping western tale brought to radio drama life before your very ears. Louis L'Amour was the epitome of the great western story teller and his writings have been wonderfully transformed into some of the best radio drama of the modern era by the tandem of Charles Potter and David Rapkin. Down Sonora Way is a captivating story of survival that any fan of the western genre will find riveting right from the opening gunshot. You'll be on the edge of your seat until the cowboy rides away.

From Louis L'Amour:
Chick Bowdrie and Tensleep Mooney, a tough, wily, Wyoming cowhand, are locked in a stalemate with nothing between them but sixty yards and a Winchester.

Then a wounded man, a woman, and two bedraggled kids appeared in the distance, and just behind, the large dust cloud that meant Apaches. Bowdrie and Mooney could have played it safe, stayed hidden and let it happen. But suddenly the outlaw and the lawman became a crack team against a cruel enemy stalking helpless victims–two men for whom justice had taken a crazy turn.
