This was a quick, interesting read. Clavin did his best to separate the man from the many myths about him. I found it most interesting to learn how quickly the west and country as a whole had changed over Hickcok‘s 39 years. Hickok had a bold style of dispensing the law that had become outdated by his death. I‘d love if there had been more insight into the man himself, but I get the vibe he wasn‘t much for sharing his feelings.

Forbidden by Beverly Jenkins is a book I read that was even better the second time around. Not only is it a great historical romance, but it also addresses important issues like class and racism. The HEA = so good!

I read it the second time while vacationing in Belize. Hubby & I vacationed there the week of the 2024 election. It was a very needed poolside read after the election results! A wonderful escape!

I bought this book in 2020. It has light moisture damage thanks to being in my basement office. Rather than throw it out I have designated it as my go-to beach re-read. I‘m currently vacationing in Central America & re-read half of it at the airport. I‘m planning to read the rest by the pool & at the beach.

This historical romance includes a male protagonist who is on the city council in Virginia City, Nevada, USA. There‘s also discussion about the U.S. Presidential election of 1868.

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 ⬇️

MonicaLoves2Read 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.

2/5 ⭐️s
This picture book tells the story of Bass Reeves, a man who was born a slave and became a sheriff in the Wild West before Oklahoma became a state. Reeves really seems like an incredible man; my issue with this book was how flippantly Native Americans were referred to, as well as murder/death - “he ONLY killed 14 people!“ 😳 This just didn't seem like appropriate content for a picture book. What I enjoyed the most were the illustrations.

I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it (some I‘ve had so long I don‘t even remember why!). Feel free to join in!

80/150 Spinning out of Mignola's excellent Hellboy series, Witchfinder is a dark gothic tale of demons, ghosts, occult powers and secret societies This would make a perfect read for Halloween. 4 😈😈😈😈
