This review is from: Coyotes and Canaries: Characters Who Made the West Wild and Wonderful! (Hardcover)

I have learned to look for Larry Brown's works, and developed admiration for his ability to ferret out fascinating, little-known (till now) stories about the Old West. Once again, his research is unbeatable, and ability to weave the research into great -- and fun -- reading makes this the kind of book that makes you want more - more - more!
