HOW THE WEST WAS WON ..... REALLY .......
This book is great if like me you wanted to learn about the real gunfights from the old west and the men that took part in them , for me the most important thing about this book is it does not just dwell on the really well known gunfights and gunfighters but also some you may not of heard about . i wanted a book with farely small chapters dealing with individual stories and characters but with more emphasis on the lesser known characters and incidents not just famous ones and more of them , and this book provided me with what i wanted . it gives you enough detail and interest to allow you to enjoy the accounts , but manages to cram an awful lot of them in at the same time . it has made me want to delve futher into the general subject , and has introduced me to many new characters and incidents to research and read about further , and this is why i would recommend it , as a starter book in the subject it is excellent and a great stepping stone to inspire you to read further into this turbulent and fascinating period of history .
An excellent addition to any old west library!
Like the other reviewer,i also wanted to know more about the old west..and especially my favourite part..the Gunfighters!
This book is full of well written,interesting and genuinely exciting stories of some of the more famous,the not so famous and downright obscure gunfights and fighters.
I cant recommend this book enough,is one of the best ive read,and at a really great price..you really cant lose!
Try it out,you WONT be sorry.
Gunfights
For those interested in the history of the "Wild West" this book is useful, in that, it covers gunfights and gunfighters not normally covered by many other books on this subject.
