I never knew my grandmother, but I have her books and have never managed to wade through any of them. As I now live in Tucson, I would love to know where she lived when she was here (likely around the turn of the last century)), or anything else anyone knows about her (she died in 1922 when my dad was 14).Bunny Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09351245409893926115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3434602314756730550.post-58369223313988936842012-06-26T00:37:49.530-07:002012-06-26T00:37:49.530-07:00Just sent a long comment and couldn't send it....Just sent a long comment and couldn't send it.

This book has all the ingredients of a classic western story. I like your idea of using early black-and-white pictures with your reviews. They tell their own story too.Prashant C.
