pickBiography - Published in 2020. “Black Heroes of the Wild West“ celebrates the extraordinary true tales of three black historical figures in the Old West: Mary “Stagecoach“ Fields, a cardplaying coach driver; Bass Reeves, the first black Deputy US Marshall west of the Mississippi; and Bob Lemmons, a cowboy famous for his ability to tame mustangs
pickAnother book finished in the hammock this evening! This book‘s taken me a long time to read, partly because I haven‘t had much print reading time and partly because it wasn‘t that compelling. I enjoyed it but never felt I just had to keep reading. Ben Sippy is a dime novelist from Philadelphia who decides to actually see the Wild West he‘s written about. He befriends the boy who will become Billy the Kid and tells his version of the story.
I‘m enjoying taco salad for supper and a few chapters of Anything for Billy in the backyard on this beautiful evening.
