Frontier Days

I like this book. I enjoy a book that shows people that move to the frontier and try to forge a life. That's the case here as a young man gets out of the military and moves to a land and tries to make something out of it, with his main goal to be a rancher. He faces many serious obstacles. Along the way he decides he wants a wife and he brings her to his land and together they try to survive brutal winters, scorching summers and just life itself. This book covers the adult lives of Logan and Lucinda Huett fighting for survival in a harsh land where the people they sometimes deal with can be as ruthless as the cougars that Logan has to keep from destroying his herd and his life. The writing style is easy to read, the storyline is definitely not complex, but the book kept me wondering what would happen next. There is a kind of controversial sub-plot that ripples through the story that was kind of unbelievable, but I just went with it and still enjoyed the book. My first inclination was to say something pithy like, it may not be a classic, however this story has been in print in various versions since 1921 and it's still in print. This book has had several edited incarnations but it is the definitive edition, written the way Gray wanted it.
