Title: History is sometimes better than fiction.
Product review: A lot of novelists write histories, but few historians write novels. This is one of the shining exceptions. This is not a horse opera or Disney-esque view of the Old West. No white hats or pearl-handled six-guns.Colonel Huffines takes a well researched bit of history and adds enough imagination to make it readable rather than simply another dry history book. The story is real, gritty and sometimes a bit cruel. Not, I believe, unlike life in that time and place. It is a good view into justice at the time and how easily it could be influenced.
