(Nonfiction) I personally don't like reading nonfiction books, but this one was useful. "Gunfighters of the Wild West" helped me to learn more about the Wild West in the late 1800's for my history essay. It is informational and helps readers learn about notorious gunfighters, such as John King Fisher and Henry McCarty. It also gives insight on a typical gunfighter's life and reputation. I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in learning about the lives of those who lived in the Wild West.
In one slim volume, Quick-Draw Gunfighters has them all: the good, the bad, lawman and outlaw, those who died young and those who lived to tell the tales. Jesse James, Wild Bill Hickok, Wyatt Earp, Doc Holliday, Bat Masterson, and so many more. The men who colored the Wild West, and colored it red. How they lived and died, and why they lived and died, all at the point of a gun.
