I would read novels,
tales of western yore,
about Billy the Kid,
the Dalton Gang, and more.
The early days, in the West,
travelling before rail,
when covered wagons,
used the Oregon Trail.
Imagine the adventure,
as you travelled along,
miles after miles,
toward your new home.
I remember some stories,
told when on their way.
He wrote many novels,
