Louis L'Amour on typewriters


Louis L'Amour (1908-1988) was a spectacularly successful author of Western novels and stories. Here he is at his Olympia SM3 in 1953, and at an IBM Model B or C in later life.


Dave Cannon has discovered some wonderful passages on typewriters in L'Amour's memoir Education of a Wandering Man.


These are so good I just had to type them up on my Reporters Special. Thanks, Dave!
