Hard to narrow to just one - I do like the Steven Hunter books mainly the old "Bob the Nailer" ones. Last of Breed by Lamour was a good one. Lee Child has some good reads as well as William Johnstone mountain man books. Undaunted Courage gave a new view on the Lewis and Clark journey as opposed to the books we read in school. Humm, can't really narrow it down to a dozen let alone one!


A true sportsman counts his achievements in proportion to the effort involved and fairness of the sport. - S. Pope
