Alexander The Great No introduction is needed. Alexander was often less than noble, but he was indubitably one of the great ones.

*

The Power of Love by Joseph Conrad. It started out with a simple mistake, made in the throes of darkness. A simple farm boy is thrust into the role of a fighting rogue and either he assumes the character or his life is forfeit. The longer he lives the darker it gets. At last, only the power of love can save John Kemp.

*

The Cossacks No introduction is needed here either -- except you might want to whisper your name out loud just before you enter their camp for the first time.

Westward, ever westward the tide of "civilization" pushed in 1846. Indians had been pushed off their ancestral homes east of the mighty river and now they were being shoved around again. Mormons had been kicked to death, raped and murdered in Missouri and then in Illinois. Fate would throw them on the very same Oregon Trail that the Missourians and Illinois ruffian bands were on. Those two elements demanded protection of their lives from the Army to keep the Mormons from attacking them. Fear rode on every side as our two innocents seek a little innocent excitement by riding across the broad prairie all by themselves. British soldiers, French traders and troubles by the dozen with horses and camps make this novel a tautly told tale of the west as it really was -- before "civilization" had tamed it.

Betty Zane, by Zane Grey.  There are no better words to introduce this production than those of the author.. For a hundred years the stories of Betty and Isaac Zane have been familiar, oft-repeated tales in my family--tales told with that pardonable ancestral pride which seems inherent in every one. My grandmother loved to cluster the children round her and tell them that when she was a little girl she had knelt at the feet of Betty Zane, and listened to the old lady as she told of her brother's capture by the Indian Princess, of the burning of the Fort, and of her own race for life. I knew these stories by heart when a child.

The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle has now been published.  The pages will turn, and every time you reopen the book it will find the very page you left off at.

You may not know that Sir Doyle grew to hate Holmes with a truly purple-potted passion, and at last killed him off, glad to be rid of the blundering brute.  His Majesty begged Doyle to bring Sherlock Holmes back to life, and reluctantly the great detective was allowed to come limping back, and shall yet live forever.

===================================

Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, by Robert Louis Stevenson.  A good doctor imbibes a draught of impure chemical content and his brain is imbalanced to the extent his character is entirely reversed.  From good, he turns to evil.  The new spirit grows in strength until evil completely overpowers good for greater and greater lengths of time.  Then comes the ultimate question, who is responsible for the crimes committed when chemicals rage out of balance in the brain?

FRANKENSTEIN, by Mary Shelley.  This is probably the most star twisted romance you've ever read.  The pages do turn in my edition, and every time you reopen the book it will find the very page you left off at.

Boots and Saddles by Elizabeth Custer
Boots and Saddles has been cunningly disguised as an adventure novel.

As the Navajo are prone to mutter,
"We'd rather have Custer for an enemy
than to have Kit Carson for a friend."
But then again, Crazy Horse always maintained:
"Custer had it coming."
