I really enjoyed learning about these cowboys; the stories are fascinating and they're written in an engaging and entertaining style. My only complaint would be that this feels like it's written with very white liberal hindsight. The cowboys are frequently spoken of approvingly for tolerating racism and persevering through hard work and skill. Slave owners are spoken of as benevolent more often than not. It's a bit uncomfortable.
I listened to this on audiobook, and the narrator was excellent.
