This review is from: Pleasant Valley (Paperback)
My family first acquired this book about 12 years ago and it has been passed around until the pages were dog eared and worn. My grandmother's family homesteaded in Pleasant Valley(Young, AZ) in the 1920's, after coming over from New Mexico in a covered wagon. Although my family is rarely mentioned in this book, it provides a very detailed account of how life was back then in this STILL secluded part of Arizona. The author, Frank Gillette (born and raised there), does a wonderful job of bringing back to life the stories of the Cowboys, Families and occasional odd characters that helped settle that wild region. Written in a detailed and smoothly flowing prose, Gillette captures your attention and holds it, making it hard to put the book down. From shoot-outs, rescue missions, medical emergencies and a comprehensive view of the struggles of plain old day to day living, you will feel right there alongside these unassuming heroes of the frontier. It is worth every penny if you are lucky enough to find a copy for yourself! 10 thumbs up!!!!!!
