Subdivisions are possible in each of these, e.g. coral and mangrove coasts in 3.

I will remember all that happened, the money I found, the men that died, and the friend I had ... off the mangrove coast.

"Off the Mangrove Coast" and "The Diamond of Jeru" are both set in Borneo, although in two different time periods.

"The Diamond of Jeru" is entirely fictional but there is a slight chance that "Off the Mangrove Coast" is less so.

A memorable addition to the author's already impressive catalogue of work, Off the Mangrove Coast celebrates L'Amour's unequalled genius, creative vision, and humanity.

Off the Mangrove Coast collects for the first time in one volume nine of his extraordinary stories some long out of print and unavailable anywhere else, some never before published.

AFTERWORD by Beau L'Amour Thank you for reading Off the Mangrove Coast.

The temperature along Florida's mangrove coast had plummeted to six degrees Centigrade during the night and Dudley bundled himself in a red woolen blanket to watch Osceola at their morning fire.

OFF THE MANGROVE COAST, by Louis L'Amour.

To the left, just beyond the nose of the police car, the land dropped sharply four or five feet into a ditch that lifted only slowly to the mangrove coast beyond: there was no escape that way.

We saw the mangrove coast out beyond the white snarl of foam along the reefs, then we put our helm over and turned east again, crawling along the coast of Darvel Bay.

And that was a point to be thought upon, for if only two should live ... twenty-five thousand dollars ... and who can say what can or cannot happen in the wash of a weedy sea off the mangrove coast?

OFF THE MANGROVE COAST There were four of us there, at the back end of creation, four of the devil's own, and a hard lot by any man's count.

It was Limey Johnson who told us the story of the freighter sinking off the mangrove coast; a ship with fifty thousand dollars in the captain's safe and nobody who knew it was there anymore ... nobody but him.

In the past I have referred to it as The Cross and the Candle but at the last minute we (my family and Bantam Books) decided that we preferred to call it Off the Mangrove Coast.

We came up along the mangrove coast with the setting sun, and slid through a narrow passage into the quiet of a lagoon where we dropped our hook and swung to, looking at the long wall of jungle that fronted the shore for miles.

Between the road and the sea was a flat uninteresting belt of low mangrove coast, to our right swampy forests not of palms or palmettos as I would have expected to find in those parts but pine, and disheartened-looking scrub pine at that.

The many fossils and overall geology of the site, including fine-grained sediments full of plant remains and root casts, suggested that, in the Cretaceous period long before the pharaohs and Romans, Bahariya may have resembled the tropical mangrove coasts of the Florida Everglades.

And in the title story, Off the Mangrove Coast, a young renegade who'd grown to manhood riding freights, prizefighting, and working mines sails the exotic South China Sea with a trio of dangerous men in search of treasure they figure to divide four ways.

"Off the Mangrove Coast" is interesting also in that it is yet another exploration of a theme that Dad dealt with also in Kid Rodelo, "What Gold Does to a Man," and "Desperate Men"; that of how the greed of treasure hunters can turn them into killers.
