One of the authors of our textbooks is Louis L'Amour. The students study from "The Lonesome Gods", "Sackett's Land", and "Bendigo Shafter". Mr. L'Amour is best known for his western stories. However, he has also studied about and written about other time periods. One such title "The Walking Drum" was on the #1 bestselling list.
"The Walking Drum" is written during the period of about 1000AD. It is the story of a young man that is on a search for his father. He travels the known world and talks about his adventures and what he learns. It is really interesting because he "slips in" life lessons when you're not looking.
There is a great link that has information about Mr. L'Amour and his life. You can find it at Louis L'Amour.
