I spent the last eight weeks with the Hat Creek Cattle outfit, going with them on their epic adventure, a cattle track from Texas to Montana. And what a journey it was. At times funny, at times exciting and at times heart breaking. This book made me feel so emotional and I caught myself welling up w...

This story is so big, giant, sprawling, so... EPIC. I absolutely loved this novel. Having been a fan of the 1989 mini-series, this book has been on my shelf to read for nearly 30 years -- yikes! Thanks to another member of my book club who chose it for our January read, I can finally say that I ...

“Yesterday's gone on down the river and you can't get it back.” I’ve been a big fan of Western movies for a while, but I’ve only recently started reading Western fiction. This Pulitzer prize-winning epic adventure is considered by many to be one of, if not the best novel in the genre. Now that I’ve...
