Big Bend : A Homesteader's Story

Rating:
Summary: Interesting step back in time.
Review: A short read. Written in simple language, but a good brief insight into this wild country at the time. I would have liked a more detailed or in-depth writing.

Summary: A Big Bend Lover's Review
Review: This book has a magic about it that can only be fully appreciated
among those who know and love the Big Bend area. However, if you're interested in things historic and relating to the early days of modern settlement in the west, this is still a good read.
The writing style is simple; it is simply one man's recollection of how he and his family arrived and flourished in the Big Bend area in the early 1900's. If you plan on visiting the Bend area, my advice would be to buy this book, and read it after you return from the area. All in all, a very, very good read.

Review: This book is written in a very simple way.It is very touching and shows the fiber that our pioneer ancestors were made of. It allows me to KNOW the grandfather that I never met. We need more books like this.
