chatty: I clicked on your blog link and it took me to a post from 2011. You might want to double-check it.

I recently re-read Two Old Women -- and enjoyed it all over again. It's the retelling of an American Indian legend, and it takes place in Alaska. If you're interested, I wrote a review on the Boomers & Books blog:

Sounds like it's a fascinating story, Sandy. I will see if I can find it at my library...

I'm almost finished with "Doc" by Mary Doria Russell. I've never read anything by her before, but after reading this one, I might seek out more of her work. "Doc" is a fictional biography about Doc Holliday, but it's obvious she has done her research on the time and place. Here's an interview with her about the book: http://blog.printsasia.com/2011/11/09/mary-doria-russell-latest-release-doc/

Thanks for the link, Yonuh. I read every word of it. Was amazed and intrigued to find Davenport, Iowa mentioned in the discussion of Kate's (Doc Holliday's friend) background.

I lived in Davenport for roughly 20 years. It's a community on the Mississippi River, across from Rock Island, Illinois. I never think of it in conjunction with Dodge City... Though I guess both cities DID exist at the same time.

Again, I was not previously familiar with Mary Doria Russell, but I plan to find this book and read it.
