Sowers of thunder

topic posted Sat, August 4, 2007 - 2:03 PM by  Matthew
This is one of my favorite groupings of his short stories. It was one of the early influences in my life that made history come to life. of course he took a lot of liberties with the history to create his stories but it was a spark for me. I would like to hear other thoughts on sowers of thunder. or on howards use of history in his stories.

    Though Howard's history may be meet
    to tell a thundering good tale,
    it suffers from the odd conceit
    that plate is weaker than chain mail.
