Louis L'Amour was a best-selling author of more than one hundred
books, of which more than thirty formed the basis of films. His books have sold more
than 200 million copies in twenty languages.

Tom Kedrick is hired by a financial syndicate to run off a gang of vagrants
and outlaws who are occupying a sizable strip of land that the syndicate has filed,
claiming it is unusable swamp. To Kedrick's dismay, these "vagrants and outlaws" turn
out to be hard working ranchers and farmers who have improved the lands they have
claimed and are determined to resist any effort to disenfranchise them.

Louis L'Amour (1908-1988), born in Jamestown, North Dakota, began his career as a writer in the 1940s and became a best-selling author of more than one hundred books that were authentic portrayals of frontier life. More than thirty of his books formed the basis of films. In 1983, he was awarded a National Gold Medal by the U.S. Congress for lifetime literary achievement, and in 1984 he received the Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian honor in the nation.

McCarthy's tale of his hilarious trip around Ireland has gained thousands of fans all over the world.

Pete was born in Warrington to an Irish mother and an English father and spent happy summer holidays in Cork. Years later, reflecting on the many places he has visited as a travel broadcaster, Pete admits that he feels more at home in Ireland than anywhere. To find out whether this is due to rose-coloured spectacles or to a deeper tie with the country of his ancestors, Pete sets off on a trip around Ireland and discovers that it has changed in surprising ways.
