Some great reviews
I just recieved some great reviews for "Homesteader"
I write because I enjoy telling stories of the west and I include history because I think it's necessary (and exciting) to have some understanding of how we all arrived where we are and how we think as we do.

Dave, many thanks for stating it was Hugh reciting; 'The 26th of May' . I listen to 'Spirit of the West' most weeks along with 'Calling all Cowboys' and a couple of others. Hugh's got a very distinct voice, I don't know why I mixed the two up?
