Overall the author recounts and makes the history come alive. At one point though, I felt he was renunerating atrocities on both sides too much.
I will say however, I had been led to believe this was less history and more fiction. Inside not feeling that way reading it. Given my research, he glossed over a couple of points but didn't embellish. He does mention that Goodnight was the sole proprietor of the canyon when we know he was a part owner with financial backing from JA.
