Book Pick, from Bo Keely
I ordered fifty books of Narrative Press from Amazon that arrived last week.
The postmaster remarked it was fortunate that I brought a big bag, and I rode the motorcycle lopsided to my camp.
The first book The Oregon Trail: Adventures on the Prairie in the 1840s by Francis Parkman is easily the best account of pioneers of the hundred I've read.
It's a cliche to say Parkman put me there, but he did, ready to trade in my motorcycle.
