Why read it?

1 author picked When You & I Were Young, Whitefish as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Dorothy M. Johnson wrote three short stories that were made into Western movies: The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance; The Hanging Tree; and A Man Called Horse. But this collection is a light-hearted visit to her childhood, growing up near Glacier National Park. A quick but delightful read to balance out some of the chewier reading I’ve suggested.

From Kirby's list on Montana during WWI.
