The Ordways

Pocket

"To grow up a boy in Clarksville in my time, " recalls the narrator of The Ordways, "was to be a double dreamer." For Clarksville, Texas, was where the Old South met the frontier West and family history retold at the annual graveyard working day provided the stuff to fuel a young imagination. Here, then, is the story of Thomas Ordway, the narrator's great-grandfather, who was blinded at Shiloh and moved his family from Tennessee to Texas. Here, too, is the saga of his grandfather, Sam Ordway, who scoured the vast land of Texas in futile search of his three-year-old son, stolen by his neighbor in 1898. "Little Ned, " that lost, legendary uncle, grew up in the narrator's mind to be now a rancher, now a lonely wrangler, now a good-hearted rustler.

Another delight tale of trout fishing by the author of "The Spawning Run". This is the story of a gigantic one-eyed trout spotted in a small stream and the dedicated angler who is determined to catch it. A great little book written with wit, a sharp eye for detail, and an unfailing sense of the ridiculous. A Great Read!!
