On this day, March 22, in 1908, Louis L’Amour was born in Jamestown, North Dakota. King of the Westerns (he preferred “frontier novels”), he lived in North Dakota until age 8, when the economy failed and his family went on the move, where they “skinned cattle in west Texas, baled hay in the Pecos Valley of New Mexico, worked in the mines of Arizona, California and Nevada, and in the saw mills and lumber camps of the Pacific Northwest”; he also was a professional boxer and merchant seaman, traveling extensively – these formed the basis of many of his works. Awarded the Congressional Gold Medal and the Presidential Medal of Freedom, he died of lung cancer at age 80.
