I have been blessed with a desire to read and it has brought me much joy. I believe it has also added to a better outlook on life in general. Several books that I have read some time ago that have much to recommend are the following.
1) The Virginian by Owen Wister. A true cowboy western that depicts the rough but "square" deal to be had in the old west if one is willing to work an honest day.
2) The Last of the Mohicans by James Fennimore Cooper. This is a classic about the history of the indians in the great lakes region of our country and how time take a toll on all of us in one way or another.
3) Half Broke Horses by J. Walls. This is a story set in the Arizona, New Mexico area around the turn of the 19th century. It is about a tough woman who makes the best of her life and I believe is fulfilled.
4) I may have mentioned this already but also recommend the book "These Is My Words" a rough approximation of a diary by Sarah Prinn. It is excellent!
ENJOY!!
