I haven't seen the land that was home to your wife and her family but those canyons, the prairies, are the places that Stegner especially seems to revere.

They grew up exploring the red rock canyons and wind carved spires of Arches and the Colorado River. <br /><br />Zane Grey was popular then although their family actually lived some of the stories Grey wrote about - my wife's great grandfather, the local sheriff, shot and killed in a jail break.

I am a fan of all of them, probably for the familiar theme.

Now my curiosity is piqued by a volume of essays with such a title, plus an essay about Norman Maclean. Who can resist?<br /><br />I had to Google "schnook" -it's definitely a word to add to the repertoire. I know that I am a schnook - frequently. A title to wear with pride perhaps, we can all identify with the protagonists of the movies you refer to, can we not? (OK, confession: I've only seen three of them.)<br /><br />Hope is a worthwhile star to steer by.Pennyhttp://penjandrum.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
