6/24/2023 0 Comments True grit full book“Rooster” Cogburn to help track and kill Chaney, who has aligned himself with the “Lucky” Ned Pepper Outlaw Gang. Through a series of events, Ross hires a drunken Deputy Marshall named Ruben J. True Grit tells the story of Mattie Ross who, as an elderly woman, recounts when she, at the age of 14, sought revenge for the death of her father who was gunned down one evening by the outlaw Tom Chaney. Many critics and fans alike, including myself, see this book as a near-perfect novel. In 1968, Portis published his masterpiece, True Grit. It was eventually adapted into a film starring Glen Campbell, Kim Darby and football player Joe Namath. Portis published his first novel, Norwood, in 1966 through Simon & Schuster. After leaving his journalism career in 1964, Portis began writing fiction full-time. Portis started his career working for the Arkansas Gazette and eventually the New York Herald Tribune. Charles Portis, who is probably most well-known for writing the classic Western novel T rue Grit died Tuesday at the age of 86. On February 17, 2020, the world lost a true literary giant.

Season three of Sanditon can be summed up in a few short sentences. Thank goodness I had a box of tissues nearby because I wept uncontrollably by the end of episode six. Like many others on Facebook and Twitter, I settled in for six hours of television, taking very few breaks except to grab a bowl of ice cream.

Gordon in the Upper West Side apartment she shares with her husband, the journalist Walter Shapiro, where she discussed the riddle of Huguette Clark and the thrill of writing about a city full of fabulously wealthy ghosts. The result, The Phantom of Fifth Avenue, offers an alluring, enigmatic portrait of a woman who shunned virtually all face-to-to face interaction during her last decades, the final two of which she elected to spend-despite good health-in a hospital bed, as her palatial residences on Fifth Avenue, and in Connecticut and California sat dormant.

6/23/2023 0 Comments Edge of the Map by Johanna GartonWith just enough stretch and a gusseted crotch built into these pants, I can climb over downed trees, and stretch my legs hopping from rock to rock at stream crossings. I noticed the luxuriously soft waistband right away (why can’t all pants have this!?). I found the right fit in the Arc’teryx Palisade. After my last pair finally wore out, I was on the lookout for breezy but durable pants that would keep me from overheating as I trek up hills this summer. Whether summer or winter, I wear pants (not shorts) when hiking, to keep the sun, dirt, bugs, and brush off my legs. More info: /books Arc’teryx Palisade Woman’s Hiking Pants Edge of the Map is a noteworthy addition to the canon of mountaineering literature.
