I think I must have read to build a fire when I was about 12 years old, that was for some reason one of Dads favorite, along with Loui Lamour stories.

I probably read, "To Build a Fire" about the same age. There's a lot of good teaching in that story, on a variety of topics.

I devoured Louis L'Amour, too. I really appreciate his attention to historical accuracy. If he described a certain spring at a certain location, it's there. You can go find it. Nobody is slinging an 1894 Winchester a decade after the Civil War in his stories. (Sorry, Rifleman! )
