great, quick read! horses and cowboys! Marshal Rooster Cogburn is a problematic but loveable fave. I love when he holds the reins in his mouth and shoots with a gun in each hand. (expected amount of racism and misogyny for the era and genre.)
Moderate: Animal cruelty, Animal death, Gun violence, Misogyny, Racial slurs, Racism, Sexism, Slavery, Violence, Police brutality, Death of parent, Alcohol, and Colonisation
