Down the Long Hills

Down the Long Hills is a gripping survival tale by Louis L’Amour, centered on seven-year-old Hardy Collins and three-year-old Betty Sue Powell—sole survivors of a brutal Indian raid on a wagon train. Armed only with a knife, a horse named Big Red, and the survival lessons taught by his father, Hardy must navigate the harsh wilderness to protect them both. This story of courage, resourcefulness, and frontier grit is a powerful testament to the resilience of the human spirit—even in the youngest among us.
