Just finished 'Wilderness North'

loaned to me by my neighbor, Dave. A great compilation of an outdoorsman/guide, who grew up in northen Canada. Lots of fishing and hunting stories and wilderness adventures, intermixed with interesting history of the locals. Really enjoyed it, and made me want to travel to the Great North and fly into a wilderness lake for walleyes and northern pike like we used to do. Am now reading 'Empire of the Summer Moon', about the Comanches who ruled the Great Plains for centuries, as they were the greatest horsemen and some of the toughest warriors the world has ever seen. Partially about Cynthia Ann Parker who was taken by the Indians when she was 9, and her halfbreed son, Quanah, one the most bad-ass Comanche War Chiefs. It is the story of a proud, but cruel people who fought to preserve their culture against a never ending tide of treaty-breaking white men, who wiped out the buffalo herds and brought decimating disease. A sad, but interesting tale of the Old West, part of which was made into a movie, 'The Searchers', with John Wayne and Natalie Wood. Of all the plains tribes, the Comanches ruled. Bottom line, Cynthia Ann's worst captivity was by the white's who killed her Indian family, and could never understand how much she loved the Comanche culture, and her family with them. A truly amazing part of American history.
