As I passionately write on any subject, including travel (writing), reading Into the Heart of Borneo was like finding a fresh-new-enlightening idea. This 1980s travelogue was written by O'Hanlon, the natural history editor of the Times Literary Supplement. His honest and humorous way in telling of his post-SAS survival training experience -- in Borneo that was, make this uplifting tale being a fun adventure and resourceful guide for travel book readers.
I used to work for this brilliant man
The book Trail Driving Days was not only a difficult path for me to take but a difficult one for all of the pioneers back in the day. The book talks about the hard times and many miles that the pioneers had to travel to get there Longhorns and cattle from the Sioux area all the way to the canadian boards, where the grass was greener and fresh water was around for everyone. The book brings pictures for all ages and texts to understand the book, but these pitcures bring the book to life and create a spark in the book, so we can see what it was like back then. My favorite picture was on page 2-3 there is a picture of longhorns and the text says, "By the time Texas had wond its independence in 1836 three centuries after the first cattle were brought here by the Spaniards, there were six Longhorns for each Texan. No Market existed for beef at the time, but the industrial revolution in the northern United States was creating a demand for hides, tallow, hoofs, and horns." I never knew that until i read that text. The book starts with longhorns brought to U.S. around 1521, and ends with a agonizing and difficult finish for everyone, but you will have to read the book to find out what happens. This book is great for many people, but mostly for those who like to learn about american history and how the pioneers us to run things. I encurege you and your friends to check the book out and read it. you will learn more then you already know!
