I love this author so I just bought this book based on that fact and it's the 1st in a series. Now I have opened it for May #bookspin and see there are no chapters, tiny type, filled top to bottom of page with very few breaks. May take a minute😁

I did the audiobook on this one. I liked the narrator. He changed his face with the characters that are included in the book. That being said, I didn't enjoy this one as much as O'Reilly's other books.

It's more off short biographies on the Wild West Characters he included. The usual suspects as Billy the Kid, Doc Holliday, Jesse James, Annie Oakley, etc. I did like the fact he included Bass Reeves. You usually don't read about the ⬇️

Monica5 first black wild West man. The Lone Ranger is supposedly based on Reeves' life. I also learned that Annie Oakley wanted to lead a group of women in WWII.

This book was a pleasure to read. Sweet, clean, with faith underlying the actions of the MCs… And there were enough little things to figure out and twists in the plot to make the story hold my interest. It was a win for me. #inspirational #historical #Americanwest #cowboysandschoolmarms

I‘m enjoying taco salad for supper and a few chapters of Anything for Billy in the backyard on this beautiful evening.

My new at school read, although I‘m pretty sure I‘ll soon be invested enough that I‘ll be taking this book back and forth. It starts out with three men meeting each other on a foggy mountain and deciding to travel together. It‘s a McMurtry novel I‘d never heard of until a former student recommended it to me.

Tom Clavin has become the go-to author for old west history. This is the story of one of the last outlaw gangs of the Wild West. Focusing on the ill fated attempt to rob two banks at once in the town of Coffeyville, Kansas that resulted in a shootout with a sizable portion of the citizens of that town.
