HTML:<p>"The Mountain Man's Field Guide to Grammar" is the brainchild of a man who loved to write, but hated learning the rules."</p> <p>Samuel G.

Keep your steel keen and your powder dry. Where we go, few follow.</p> <p>"In writing this book, I have attempted to make each line of text, each rule of grammar, and each example fresh and new and original. But a noun is a noun and a verbal is a verbal, and festooning them in gaudy finery can neither add nor detract from their essence. American grammar and construction—the essential stuff—is staid and stately, elegant, sensuous, raw, and beautiful."</p> <p>Gary Spina</p>. Grammar & Language Usage. Nonfiction. Media Type: eBook.
