who might be drawn to read about the labor movement and copper mining in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan in early 1900s. The ending was a crusher, but I won't give anything away in case anyone else decides to read it.

Started reading Brett Cogburn's book, Panhandle and am already caught up in the cowboy way of life in Texas in the late 1800s.

fm amazon: Brett Cogburn is a two-time Spur Award-winning author and the great-grandson of the man who inspired True Grit, Rooster Cogburn. He was reared in Texas and the mountains of Southeastern Oklahoma, where his grandfather taught him to ride a bucking horse and his father taught him to hunt. He lives with his family on a little ranch in Oklahoma, where the West is still teaching him how to write.
