Our book club will soon be discussing The Last Cattle Drive by Robert Day. When I heard the title, I was pretty sure it was going to be a western, but really, it takes place in Kansas in the 1970s (during the time I was growing up in Wichita...). If you can imagine driving a herd of 250 cattle to market across northern Kansas, staying clear of the interstate and other modern institutions, well you can just imagine what might happen.
I found the writing pretty funny and laughed out loud at certain points. I also looked up some of the references to places, and they exist. Here is one such place - the Garden of Eden in Lucas, Kansas.
