When I’m on a road trip, I sometimes know the history of the area I’m riding through, and I sometimes do not. I’m always wondering about it, though. I recently finished reading Empire of the Summer Moon, and it was so good it makes me want to plan another road trip through Texas. The cover tells what the book is about; what it doesn’t do is tell just how good this book is…
They say you can’t tell a book by its cover, but the cover on Empire appealed to me greatly. The book was even better. Much of the action described in it occurred in Texas (and in areas where I used to live in Texas); now I want to return, ride those roads again, and pay more attention this time. And I will. Just how good was this book? Hey, when I finished it, I turned back to the beginning and started reading it again. That’s good.
