Reminds you that every great man is still a man. We are flawed imperfect beings with our own joys and sorrows. The life we live inside our heads can differ wildly from the lives others perceive us to have. We are human and flawed. Life is fragile and meant to be lived without regret in both the physical and emotional sense. When all else fails, have a good hearty laugh and take a walk.

Incredible exploration of what it means to be a white person in the United States. One of the most profound pieces of literature that I have ever read.

I wouldnt have thought a western would appeal to me but I really enjoyed this book. Takes a while to get going but you get to know a great cast of characters. Good balance of lighthearted and heavy moments

I knew this book was going to be good but I was absolutely blown away. The characters were so well written I’ve never read anything like it. The dialogue was so natural and real. The emotional trajectory of this novel was devastating but I’m so glad I took the journey. The only thing I didn’t like was the July/Elmira subplot. I found these sections pretty boring and was often speeding through them to get back to the Hat Creek Outfit.
