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!
There’s a goodly bit of motivation in those passages! I really need to pull one of the stable out and do some “mind traveling”, myself. And, by the way, that “Reporters Special” looks a lovely ol’ machine.
