Considine
Considine is another of those wonderful Louis L’amour names. High Lonesome tells the tale of an outlaw, but when you read the name it doesn’t conjure images of late night bank robberies or cattle rustling. Rather it speaks of a strong, easy-going person with a clear head.
Considine rolls off the tongue easily. It is certainly not a name that one hears everyday (unless of course you happen to know a Considine). Considine carries a whole load of flavor that could not be captured by most other names.
I imagine that when L’amour found Considine somewhere he knew that it would be a fantastic match for a character. He was right.
