Just finished a bio by Elmer Kelton, author of Western Novels, undoubtedly inspired by our visit to Amon Carter Museum and its Russells and Remingtons:"Sandhills Boy". Plus, he married an Austrian!
Now is that coincidence or what?
Although, I was barely born when they met after WW II, and my better half isn't a Texan!
Anyway, I did enjoy this bio, written with dry humor and some self depreciation. Now, I shall have to read more of his novels, which seem to be somewhat based on historical events (with poetic license, of course). Good Bye Twitter... books are beckoning.
About Me
- artandhockey
- Split personality. Liking the arts, especially opera, and hockey and Los Toros. I know, I know THAT one is non pc currently. But I can't help it saw some in Spain and got hooked, but good. But on the other hand right now opera and hockey are in the forefront!
