Experience life in the Old West. Travel to Costa Rica. Find out about life in Tehran before the fall of the Shah. Spanning the world, this eclectic collection of memoirs, travel diaries, love stories, and poems provides an interesting look into a variety of experiences.From the 1800s to the present, the anecdotes in this diverse collection both entertain and educate. Written with clear and distinct voices, the narratives share 'top gun' tales from World War I and II and the Korean War, tell of Old West ranch experiences, and report on a one-of-kind journey in the late 1800s with 900 sheep from New Mexico to Alaska’s gold fields.Compiled from a variety of writers by Jeanne Wilkins Wilde, author of Lavinia, the selections provide a unique glimpse into both the past and the present. Many of the writers have since passed away, but through Tell Me About ... their stories live on.
