I have read all of your books & have enjoyed them. One Mountain range that I would suggest that you do a book on is the Guadalupe Mountain Range. This without a doubt would be good.

in his spring class. I need 3 copies. Where can I order this book? Is there a distribution center where I can place the order?

Comment on Cathedral Mountain in the Glass Mountains by Bill MacLeod

Hancock Hill was named for a local landowner. Mount Ord is named for General Edward Ord, West Point graduate who fought in the Union Army during the Civil War. He was appointed to command the Military Department of Texas in 1875 and retired in 1880.

For more see River Road Vistas. [...]
