Edition DescriptionReprint
Synopsis"I am Johannes Verne, and I am not afraid." This was the boy's mantra as he plodded through the desert alone, left to die by his vengeful grandfather. Johannes Verne was soon to be rescued by outlaws, but no one could save him from the lasting memory of his grandfather's eyes, full of impenetrable hatred. Raised in part by Indians, then befriended by a mysterious woman, Johannes grew up to become a rugged adventurer and an educated man. But even now, strengthened by the love of a golden-haired girl and well on his way to making a fortune in bustling early-day Los Angeles, the past may rise up to threaten his future once more. And this time only the ancient gods of the desert can save him.

I am Johannes Vernes and I am Not Afraid.
This is probably one of L'Amour's best books. Johannes Vernes' parents were driven from California by his Grandfather. He was a Spanish don that did not want the marriage for his daughter. However, she loved Vernes and would not be stopped. Vernes' father was a sea captain and therefore not suitable for his daughter. Years later the daughter died leaving Johannes, her son and her husband. This story is about their return to California . Johannes' father was sick and dying. The father wanted Johannes to live with his grandfather, his only living relative. Little did he know the Grandfather wanted to kill them both. Johannes spent his young life looking over his shoulder. Such a life! Highly recommended book.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
