I was first introduced to Gilbert Morris when I ordered the first "Cheney Duvall MD" book from a mail-order book club. Later, I purchased "The Jeweled Spur," because I enjoyed the other Gilbert Morris book - I hadn't heard of the "House of Winslow" series until my purchase arrived. I finished reading about Laurie and Cody and looking at the geneology chart included in the book, and just had to read the rest of the series,(based on the local library's availability)as well as new additions. Keep up the good work!

After reading "The Jeweled Spur," I was very pleasantly surprised by the Christian undertones to the story. It was an easy an enjoyable read. I would recommend it to anyone looking to read a simple, Wild West-based story from the good 'ole days.
