Famous Gunfighters of the Western Frontier,

This review is from: Famous Gunfighters of the Western Frontier: Wyatt Earp, Doc Holliday, Luke Short and Others (Paperback)
It's a fast read, and a worthwhile read. Some may find my rating generous, but while the writing is adequate, the information is interesting albeit brief. As it's written by Bat Masterson, it's written in the style of the newspapers of the day; not a bad thing. Bottom line, read it, you will enjoy it if you enjoy the Old West as I do.

I liked this book. The only negative is it is quite short. The stories were intriguing. Also, it tells the truth about some of these guys being real scoundrels. Such as Doc Holiday gunning down two black people just because they were in a swimming hole he had declared off limits to blacks.
