Homestead Narratives? I am looking for suggestions of good narrative books that tell the story of people making the move to homesteading / self sufficiency.  When I look on Amazon, I see lots of stories about people moving to Alaska for an "Into the Wild" type of experience.  I am more interested in books that I would be able to relate to / get inspiration from as I think about buying a few acres down here in Texas.  Oh, and as a guy, I am not so interested in the "Going Amish" type romance novels either. ;-)  Thanks!
