5.0 out of 5 stars "Stagecoach West" -- History Come Alive, March 14, 2007

This review is from: Stagecoach West (Paperback)

I'm having a wonderful time with this book! Ralph Moody does a great job of bringing the period of the Western stagecoach to life. He puts flesh on the bones of the historical names of that period, complete with the "warts" that characterized so many of them. Not just a dry, date-quoting tome, this book is a "must-read" for anyone who wants to learn more about the development of the West in the 1800's.
