| Summary: | I've written this book in hopes that its stories and the incredible people they're about will pull our country closer together through a shared history of the American West. In its own way the Wild West was a melting post every bit as much as the cities of the east coast and maybe even more so.

Many cowboys were even cowgirls. |
