Rated by buyers -
The Fourth Book in the LaPlata County Series by Luther Butler contains Homesteader and Sheepherders and the second novel, DH. This novel means the most to me of the Series. After an accident in 1984 I started this novel by using the farm my family owned in LaPlata County, Colorado. The holding at one time consisted of ten sections of land which was on sagebrush land twenty miles from the Laplata Mountains. The average rainfall is less than twenty inches which is not enough for most crops. My father started buying sheep in 1933 when I was four years old. Neither of these two novels are auto- biographical, but I let my main character, Son Wilkerson, walk many of the trails I did - and I did walk seven miles to Rockdale School in the snow! God, I wish I could do it over again.
