A Ranch-hand's Reading List

This is a list of the books I found in my father's caravan trailer after he died. The trailer had been
abandoned for a year or more (It was sometimes used as a pantry). Most of the books were water
damaged or had been used for nesting material by the deer mice and pack rats. I made this list and then
5 burned them all.
