Well, the good thing about quarantine y’all is it has gotten many of us, including myself, back into the mode of reading. Now, I am a pretty “modern guy” , but audible and digital books just don’t do it for me. I just like to turn the pages and hold a good book.
With that being said, here are my Top 5 picks for this Summer. I am kinda a history and biography kinda guy with a smattering of thrilling fiction, so my picks might not be to your liking. Feel free to share on our Facebook page a non-fiction book you think everyone should be reading.

1. Dodge City
by Tom Clavin.
The instant New York Times bestseller!
Dodge City, Kansas, is a place of legend. The town that started as a small military site exploded with the coming of the railroad, cattle drives, eager miners, settlers, and various entrepreneurs passing through to populate the expanding West. Before long, Dodge City’s streets were lined with saloons and brothels and its populace was thick with gunmen, horse thieves, and desperadoes of every sort. By the 1870s, Dodge City was known as the most violent and turbulent town in the West.
