description: "Louis Dearborn L'Amour was an American novelist and short story writer. His books consisted primarily of Western novels, though he called his work \"frontier stories\". His most widely known Western fiction works include Last of the Breed, Hondo, Shalako, and the Sackett series. L'Amour also wrote historical fiction, science fiction, non-fiction (Frontier), and poetry and short-story collections. Many of his stories were made into films. His books remain popular and most have gone through multiple printings. At the time of his death, almost all of his 105 existing works were still in print, and he was \"one of the world's most popular writers\"."
