Summary: Not your average Western Tale!
Comment: A truely wonderful yarn that was impossible to put down. Like Jack Crabb of "Little Big Man" fame and "Forrest Gump" a entertaining telling of the push towards the western frontier and the characters and events that such a wild time produced. I was given this book as part of a birthday present, afterwards when asked what I thought my first response was.... I imagine that....had I actually met Billy somewhere, sat down with him and let him relate this story, my first response might have been "That had to be the biggest lie I ever heard". her response "Well, why did you continue to listen to him then", grinning my response to her was "He told it so well"!

Summary: A Welcome Find in any Genre!
Comment: The western genre can usually be found on the bottom rack of the book display in most supermarkets. It seldoms rates more than a thin display at bookstores as well because, well, let's face it! it's snubbed by those who look down on 'cowboy' stories. However Loren Estleman's books and particularly Billy Gashade deserve a more prominent place in book displays and certainly more attention.
This is taleneted writing, skilled craftsmanship, and shucks buckaroos, just fine storytelling! History comes alive in this adventurous run and more than once you're going to catch yourself thumbing to the end of the book and swearing because you're running out of pages!
If you're not hooked yet then give Estleman's books a read. You will be.

Summary: A Journey of America
Comment: I bought this book because I love Estleman's mysteries. I thought I would try one of his non-mystery books.
I was amazed. The book takes us from one coast to the other during the time of the cival war. We see it through the eyes of a young musician on the run. Along the way we see Billy meet some famous folk of the old west, including the James Brothers, Custer, and Billy The Kid. It reads so real, that you want to check for the name Billy Gashade in history books. Estleman did his homework and it shows.A history lesson that entertains every step of the way.
