Terry! I just became aware of this author (my friend, "H" was reading one of his son's books). Is this your first book of his?

Hi Julie. In 2022, I read The Time It Never Rained, which I rated 4.5 rounded up to 5. It is about a rancher refusing to take help from the government during several years of devastating drought. The protagonist had a kind of “John Wayne” vibe. I thought the book was excellent, so I thought I would try another. So far, so good, but this one has more of a “cowboys and Indians” energy.

Terry,
My brother is here at the moment, and he's been on a Louis L' Amour jag--reading a bunch of them in a row. I mentioned this writer to him and we were both scratching our heads. It's amazing how many writers are still unknown to me!

I love Elmer Kelton. My biggest complaint is that most of his books are mass market editions, impossible to read by aging eyes. Of course, that's where Kindle comes in.

To Diane: I brought home my first today (this one) and luckily they had a hardcover offering.

Diane, Yes, my copy is not easy to read. I can see how Kindle would be the way to go.

Julie, I know what you mean!
