Westerns

I normally do not like Western books, but I love Zane Grey novels. I am currently reading The Wilderness Trek, my second favorite Zane Grey book. It is about two American cowboys who had to leave America and go to Australia. They hired on with a local cattle baron and started a trek of three thousand miles with eight thousand cattle across the never-never. A trek that they estimated would take them two years. There are many hardships along the road that they have to face including, shortage of water, cattle stampedes, aborigines, treachery, and murder. It is amazing to read about Australia from this author's perspective. Australia is one of the places that I really want to visit someday.
