This is a Kilkenny story, and a rather confusing one, or so it seemed to me. That often happens when books are not published in sequence, or an author tries to write what is in essence a pre-quel, or tells some other tale about the same character. This book was originally published in West magazine in 1947 under the title, A Man Called Trent, by Jim Mayo, a L'Amour byline, then was reworked to form this book, as he could not keep up with the demand for his novels. A third Kilkenny novel titled, The Rider of Lost Creek, also by Jim Mayo, published in 1947 was reworked and published under that title in 1976. The novel, Kilkenny, published originally by Ace in 1954 is by far superior to either of these other two. The complications arise as one tries to figure out the sequence of events in Kilkenny's life, especially after having read the novel Kilkenny. If they were to put these three together in correct order with an outline of the happenings in sequencial order it might make them easier and more pleasantly read. If you can read them as independent stories and forget about the others then maybe that would make it easier. Still, being L'Amour it is worthy of purchase and reading.
