I read the sections on James Beckworth,Mary fields a.k.a. stage Coach Mary, and that love a.k.a. deadwood dick. They were pretty good, short overviews. I would’ve liked a few more specifics about places and dates. Then Nat love passage Kept referring to Indians without saying which group in specific. The pros in general was a little over blown but not too bad
