The Big Sky by A.B. Guthrie Jr.

4.0

I've owned a copy of Guthrie's THE BIG SKY for at least a decade and finally made it to it and now I'm kicking myself it took me so long. I will be reading more of Guthrie's "Big Sky" series in 2013 and 2014. I'm not waiting another decade to read one. Written in the late 1940s, this western still holds up quite nicely as it tells the story of a seventeen year old who takes off west in the 1840s and finds adventure, peril, romance and all the other mythical gifts that the west offered in the 19th century. THE BIG SKY is actually one of the best westerns I've ever read, that's how much I enjoyed this one.
