Recenzii
"With so much bunk being presented by television and in books of the so-called old West, this book will be a welcome change to authentic facts of a West which was thrilling and exciting enough without all of the trappings of Hollywood. This is a fabulous book, telling the true stories of Western life as it was actually lived by real people."—Kay Evans, Houston Tribune
