    Started reading Tom Clavin's Tombstone but 100 pages into digressions, I put it down. I mean I learned a lot about history leading up to the founding of New Mexico and Tombstone with some hints about the Earps and Holiday but really just wanted to read about them. Maybe I'll pick it up someday.



    Started Zane Grey's 1912 Riders of the Purple Sage and while the story seemed interesting, especially the Mormon element, the language was just too flowery and the melodramatic dialog stilted with "Oh!" this and "Oh!" that. Put it down after 50 pages. Note it's first adaptation was silent:





    Then picked up and read John Williams's Butcher's Crossing. Now this was an exciting and well-written novel about hunters and trappers toward the end of the buffalo hunt frenzy. It's not unlike in genre A. B. Guthrie Jr.'s The Big Sky, without the endless internal monologs, and Michael Punke's The Revenant. For a picturesque as the novel is in overfocus on detail it fails to caputre the great vast emptines of the Western plains and mountains those other two novels do capture. The movie adaptation looks like it caputre the vastness of big skies:

    Tradition is not the worship of ashes, but the preservation of fire. ― Gustav Mahler
