Anybody who lives in my town and who wants to learn about pioneers, westward expansion, or the Pony Express is out of luck, because I think we have all the books checked out from the library.

I find it fascinating and would love to be able to travel back in time to experience it first hand. Learning about pioneers also makes me grateful for our modern conveniences. There are so many things we take for granted. For example, the the large 2-pack bottles of Log Cabin syrup I bought at Costco yesterday, my washing machine, prepackaged stick butter, and my cooktop stove and oven.
Some of my favorite books I've read so far are these:
