Customer Reviews

Great read for women of the west

This book was an interesting exploration of western women of yesterday. Much has changed over the years as I also enjoyed reading a contemporary view of a western woman in "So You Wanna be a Cowgirl". Pat Gott

Fan of the Wild West

Have always had a fascination with the "Wild West" and thought this book was great. Kind of a lot of information for a person to absorb all in one sitting, so I recommend you read it in parts. Liked the part about Molly Brown and the Titanic. Highly recommended.Like this author.

One of the best books I've read about the wild west

My daughter brought this book home from school and I read it.I read a lot of books for young people andI have read many many books on the subject of the american west/frontier times.The book presents a fine overview of the western experience from many different perspectives (Native american experience, pioneer experience etc) as well as closer looks at a few famous characters.
