Lord, I certainly love this series about the Fortune's of the Black Hills, the sixth and last book. This one was as good or better than the others but I can't say which one was my favorite. I guess they all were. The narrator, Jerry Sciarrio, is probably my favorite for sure. As I have said before, like watching a great movie with my eyes closed🤗

That was so good! The Next Roundup is the sixth and final book in the Fortunes of the Black Hills series. This one was my favorite. I thoroughly enjoyed reading about Brazos Fortune, his family and friends! I am sorry to see this series end, however, I will probably be reading them again in the future!
