In this great American masterpiece, which served as the basis for the classic John Wayne film, two men with very different agendas push their endurance beyond all faith and hope to find a little girl captured by the Comanche.

1. I haven‘t read this book yet but this is my absolute favorite Western after Tombstone (which is not based on a book!)
2. Hmm. I want to read more in depth about the Earp brothers and Doc Holliday. Anyone have any suggestions?
3. Cat Ballou and the newer version of True Grit.

BookmarkTavern A novel about Holliday would be fascinating! And I haven‘t seen the newer True Grit yet! I‘ll have to look that up soon. Thanks for sharing! 😁 4y
JenlovesJT47 @ozma.of.oz it‘s surprisingly good! I usually prefer the originals to the remakes but this is one exception, it‘s so good! There is one book about Doc that I need to finish. I started it years ago but had to take it back to the library. 4y
ChasingOm That‘s the one I was going to recommend, hah. There‘s also a sequel called 4y
JenlovesJT47 @ChasingOm ooh fun, thanks for the heads up! 4y

I'm loving today's #fictionnonfictionpairings ! Here are two that I read back-to-back. The Searchers is a western classic (and famous John Wayne movie) about the search for a girl captured by the Comanches. It pairs so well with this other book, primarily about Quanah Parker, whose mother was a blonde, blue-eyed Texan child when she herself was taken by the Comanches. #SeasonsReadings2016

Suzze Love the pairing. 7y
LindsayReads Loved Empire of the Summer Moon! 7y

LeahBergen @LindsayReads I know! Isn't it great? 7y
