Shalako (novel)
Shalako is a 1962 Western novel by Louis L'Amour and the name of a town that the author intended to build.[1] It would have been a working town typical of those of the nineteenth-century Western frontier. Funding for the project fell through, and Shalako, which would have been named in honor of the protagonist of the novel, was never built.
Film adaptation
[edit]The novel was made into the film Shalako in 1968, starring Sean Connery and Brigitte Bardot.[2]
