Daniel Boone
Frontiersman: Daniel Boone and the Making of America
by Meredith Mason Brown
My wife bought me this for Christmas - I'll start reading on a plane trip this Friday. Old Dan'l was a hero of mine as a child (from books not the TV show -though I did enjoy that, too).
Recommendations out of my Library (far from complete!)
*U. S. Constitution

*Vietnam, A History - Karnow
*General Lee's Army - Glatthar
-many books more complete on WBtS, but this...
Canones
Canones are my absolute favorite. Used to be able to buy a box of 10 for $30!!! I'd always buy a couple of boxes and share them at Marine Corp Birthday Balls. Then they got scarce and EXPENSIVE! Still I'll get one now and then and enjoy a couple of hours of solitude, reflection...

Hats at Church
Boudreaux lost his hat on Saturday night and it bothered him powerful. But he got up on Sunday and went to church. At church he noticed there were a lot of fine hats hanging on the wall and he decided that he'd leave church a little early and take him one of them hats... But...
