L’Amour tour showcases Jamestown years

Tourism officials say a self-guided walking tour will help provide a more complete picture of Louis L’Amour’s boyhood years living in turn-of-the-century Jamestown.

The idea is to attract fans of the late writer who may want to seek the places related to L’Amour’s years in Jamestown from his birth in 1908 until his family left Jamestown in the early 1920s.
