I have never in my life read something like this.
Wouw what an amazing story. So, so tragic, so much unnecessary dead but oh so real....
A lot of young boys want to be cowboys. The fantasy of the Wild West, the expansion into the unknown the lawless, ruleless world where you can do whatever you want, settle wherever you please but nobody thinks about the fact that the negative far outweigh the positives. Disease, Murder, Fighting, Raping, Stealing you name it, everything is there.
This story really had it all, I laughed, I cried and i wooped of happiness because some guys I really didnt like got killed by the guys I do like. It had everything a Western needs. From the Cattle Drive to the fight with Indians to Robberiers and cowboying and everything in between. The Quote on the cover from USA today says it all:
"If you read only one Western novel in your life, read this one"
An epic journey that has changed my life forever
