I've been a fan of Western history for a long time, but I could never truly feel I got the real picture of the time. As you say, much has been exaggerated or has become legend and it is hard to find the real Old West Story. After visiting Langtry and Judge Roy Bean's saloon, Kit Carson's home in Taos and Tombstone, I'm trying real hard to find books or information that are more accurate. Your book is now on top of my list to read, but what would you recommend to read or look for to get a more authentic picture?

Much obliged! We're doing a lot of roadtrips through the South West, and knowing the history about the places and the people who wandered through them before us makes it so much better! I can't wait to read your book and will look for the next ones! Best wishes from Houston!

Our next trip will take us to Durango CO, Ouray, Telluride, Flagstaff, then back to Texas through Alamogordo and the Mescalero reservation. If we have time, we might drive through Fort Sumner.

Thank you! I'll organize my reading before this trip. Cheers!

Every time we drive out west we find new places to explore. The entire area has a surprisingly rich history, and knowing it while we drive and hike through makes the experience more poignant. Thank you for the recommendation, I will put that one in the list as well.
