Book reccomendation

[Victoria]

neatest book i've had in some time. a friend bought it at a flea market and gave it to me. By Charles Towne and Edward Wentworth.. published in 1955.. "CATTLE AND MEN" it's the history of cattle and their interaction with human civilization... from prehistoric times to the cattle drives of the 1800's and to the "modern" 1950's... good read if you like cattle..

That sounds like an interesting book - can't find it still in print, maybe I'll have a look on Ebay.

Pillars of Earth by Ken Follett and its sequel A world without end are both good books.

Yes, I've heard of his books and plan to get them.

I have established a nice Collection of Books. All from DIY books like ULTIMATE GUIDE Home Repair and Improvements by: Creative Homeowners, to Jules Vern, H.G. Wells, Gunsmith- From my fathers collection over 700 books alone in that one. Twilight books (Wife's) but I have read the first one and I must say they are a good read. Journey to the Centerof the Earth & Time Machine are some of the greatest books I have ever read. As far as Farm/Cattle I have quite a Few of them like Storey's Guide to RAISING BEEF CATTLE, Joel Salatin:YOU CAN FARM, Backyard HOMESTEADING, Small-Scale Livestock Farming, The Illustrated Encyclopedia of COUNTRY LIVING, John Seymour: The SELF-SUFFCIENT LIFE and hot to live it, Dick & James Strawbridge: Self Sufficiency FOR THE 21st Century.. List goes on and on, I try to keep an exstensive libary for when SHTF and we have no PC to use or able to look stuff up.. Books are far better then movies and more detailed.. O yes we have about 7 different types of Bibles to #1 Seller!

This summer I'm way into Saxon/Dane history in England.

Dun's recommendation is a great read. Have you started your annual reading yet?

Should I be surprised your into books about looting and pillaging?

No, maybe I should have posted that in the thread on other activities we enjoy.

No doubt, a little too much so.
BTW- that 13 month old bull has produced 21 calves in 14 days.

You should name him Mark Shaw

I just read Log of Cowboy by Andy Adams. Pretty good read. Although it is a fictional cattle drive story, the author was a working cowboy in the 1880's. He did work cattle drives so reality of that first hand knowledge shows through.

I just started new book by Jory Sherman(trail drive book to Nebraska, cant remember the name)

Seems like I read him before and liked him but I don't know for sure, I may have him confused with someone else
Anybody read his books ?

No, bit I did just read "The Cowboy and the Cossak" by Clair Huffaker. One of the top 10 I have ever read. I'm reading "Apache Lawman" by Phil Dunlap now, I'm enjoying it quite well.
