Russell “oozes with history”; Roots in the Prairie Dust by Maxine Wambach Melton, “[. . .] childhood memories of the depression years [. . .]”; and Maverick Guns by Jack Ballas, “an epic western novel of fury, honor, and vengeance.” Joan has reviewed the 1990 book, Adventures In Idaho’s Sawtooth Country.
