Skye's West: Bannack Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I gave this 3 stars, because too many good guys died and they didn't deserve it. In other words too much reality. At least let some of the most hated characters get what's coming to them.Click Here to see more reviews about: Skye's West: BannackBarnaby Skye, a pressed seaman in the Royal Navy, jumps...

The Scout Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)After Brules, which was spectacular, The Scout was somewhat of a let-down. It should have been a continuation of the magnificent Brules, but it was not. Harry Combs just didn't seem to write with the same flare. In parts I had to fight boredom, as the story became monotonous. It was just "Brules the...

Watch for Me on the Mountain (Originally Published As : Cry Geronimo) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Reading THE EDUCATION OF LITTLE TREE prompted me to find other Forrest Carter works. Through Amazon, I discovered the Josey Wales books (terrific). References to Geronimo in those books piqued my interest about this fascinating historical figure, so I ordered WATCH FOR ME ON THE MOUNTAIN. It did not...

Sons of Texas (Sons of Texas Trilogy 1) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)The first of a trilogy, Sons of Texas looks at Texas' gaining of independence from Spanish rule by following the lives of central characters, Michael Lewis and his younger brother, Andrew. Mordecai Lewis, Michael's father, headed the western Tennessee family when the story began in 1816 - a time when...

Donkey: The Mystique of Equus Asinus Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I was skeptical when I was handed this book by one of my fellow lawyers in the office. Why on earth would I be interested in a book about, of all subjects, Donkeys, unless it happened to be about the Democratic party? But the images throughout the book were so enticing I decided to invest my time and...

Up and Down California in 1860-1864: The Journal of William H. Brewer, Fourth Edition, with Maps Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This book is a lot of things. First, it's a marvelous description of what unmapped California was like--when Los Angeles had 4,000 inhabitants, and shootings every Saturday night. The physical descriptions of the state are very interesting. But it's also a sort of social record; Brewer stayed with families...

Sass & Serendipity Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Sass & Serendipity possess a cute and eye-catching cover, but what is inside is where the gold lies. It contains family as well as sister drama, unpredictable romantic subplots, and best of all two realistic main characters you cannot help but adore and root for.Sass & Serendipity begins the...

Exploring Havasupai: A Guide to the Heart of the Grand Canyon Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Purchased this for a planned hike to Havasupai in the fall. This book is a great reference that includes great photo's, history lessons, photo tips, maps, and details on hiking the trail. Makes a great reference book but is nice enough to keep out for friends to thumb through. I recommend this book for...

In a time where everything is done the easy way it is great to be able to look back and see how things realy used to be done. Through this book you are able to get a very clear picture...

Muleshoe Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Jess Butcher has done very well with his graphic "Muleshoe" trip through backwoods Oklahoma and Kansas. It is set in some pretty remote, but interesting country. Entertaining, easy to read and follow, this is a good effort. You'll have a a good number of chuckles with this one. Butcher's real-life characters...

Crum: The Novel Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)A hilarious, bittersweet saga of growing up in hardcore West Virginia. Crum isn't in the gentle mountains those of us who live here love, but a played-out, bleak wasteland locked in the heart of what used to be productive coal country. It is the dark West Virginia whose existence we like to deny. In...

Blood on the Forge (New York Review Books Classics) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)William Attaway's BLOOD ON THE FORGE powerfully depicts both the Black migration to the industrial north after WWI and the startling hell-like environment of the vast iron & steel works of the era. No other writer--novelist, sociologist, historian--has ever captured so well the compelling, visceral...

Badger Boy (Texas Rangers) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Little wonder that Elmer Kelton has been voted the greatest western writer of all time by the Western Writers of America. His current novel, "Badger Boy," extends Kelton's reputation of well-researched excellence. As entertaining as it's predecessor, "The Buckskin Line," "Badger Boy" transports the reader...

These Were The Vaqueros: Collected Works of Arnold R. Rojas Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I have been looking for a copy of this book for over a year, but since it was out of print all the books I found were very expensive. I was so glad to see this book was reprinted and at an affordable price. The book is full of great short stories and tons of history. It is hard to put down and I seem...

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)As author of The Donkey Companion (Storey Publishing), I was thrilled to see that Dr. Purdy has written a book about donkey care.
