Title: AMERICAN WEST by Dee Brown ISBN: 0-684-80441-7 Publisher: Scribner Pub. Date: 01 November, 1995 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $15.00 |

Summary: Good Overview
Comment: This book is really a good of short articles and stories (I am assuming here) pulled from other publications. Because of this there is not a consistent theme that runs through the full book other then all the articles do have something to do with the American West - from ranch hands, cattle drivers and Indian's this book has it all. What I found with this lack of consistent theme is that many of the articles just wet you appetite for more information on the given subject.
The book does provide a good overall view of the American west during the settlement days. The book is well written and is easy to get through. If you have just a general interested in the topic or want a refresher course this is probably the book for you. If you are looking for something more in depth you will probably come away disappointed.

Summary: Fight No More Forever
Comment: With these words the Nez Perce Indians surrendered to the U.S. Army, having fled from Idaho across country, through Yellowstone and north to Montana, only to be cut off just miles from the Canadian border. This and other spectacular stories will quicken the pulse of any red-blooded history buff. We also visit cow ranchers down in Texas and learn the true, unvarnished story of Dodge City and other pestilences. The real thing.

Summary: Text Jumps Around But Still Good!
Comment: Brown's American West book can be difficult to follow at times. But it was worth wading through to read the in-depth details of folks who lived back then. I believe this was such a fascinating era in our history that reading new details is worth the price of the book (which was very nominal). If you like the Old West, you will find more than enough to satisfy you.
