Louis himself once noted that if you wrote a novel about life a few hundred years ago in America east of the Mississippi, it was Historical Fiction. If you wrote about west of the Mississippi, it was called a Western. Never thought of it that way, but so true. Anyway, I am enjoying some Historical Fiction to start the new year.
That's great! I love the Sackett's....
Having read most of the L'Amour books many, many years ago...it was one of the first things I turned to when I got my PRS-300 for Christmas...
I've got his first 8 books on my reader and I've been reading them concurrently with a few "heavier" books...
I'll finish "Kilkenny" later tonight...
