☆☆☆ Trails to Dos Encinosby Charles Clark
My most recent book I'm reading is by a local artist [Corpus Christi], Charles Clark, a physician who turned author upon retirement. The book, the first of two in this genre, "Trails to Dos Encinos" is about a rancher and a young girl who washed ashore, barely alive, from a hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico. Charro [the rancher] has a cattle ranch called Dos Encinos [a loose definition would be two live oaks...a tree that is prevalent in this area of South Texas]. It's a good story...a story of survival and love. Along the way, - - Mexican banditos, padres, church, religion and faith, devoted friendships, family. It's filled with a richness of when Texas was at its beginnings and a young girl from Germany [Sarah, the one who survived the storm] experiencing the ways of the old west and her quest to become American. Good Read!
