How readable is the book? Does it pull you along or do you have to push trough it? Compelling?

Looks like an interesting read.

steve99f,
Catching on the forum up and realized you had asked a question, sorry for draggin' around.
The first few chapters were a bit hard to grip due to all the Muslim words being used. The words were defined/translated but I had a time trying to remember what was what, however I chewed through it and in just a few chapters it was a very gripping story. It gave me a better perspective of Eastern and Western Muslims and what makes them tick.
It is well worth reading!

Found this on the magazine rack at a Hannaford (grocery store chain) in Rochester, NH.

Starting this one. I’ve read most if not all of Rollins’ Sigma Force series. Always a page turning read.

I seem to read this at least once a year. Good information delivered with some humor.

Picked up this one from the used book store. The author, now deceased, was next to youngest of 7 kids growing up in rural west Texas in the early 1900s, where their father was an itinerant cowboy moving from ranch to ranch, taking his family with him. The book’s title is derived from the author’s older brothers telling him the house they lived in was haunted by “crazy women in the rafters”. I’m about four chapters in - filled with humorous stories.

Back to some fiction.
I do like how L'amour incorporates bit of actual history in his writings. Major Patrick Ferguson, inventor of the first breach loading rifle, thus the title, makes an appearance in the first chapter.
L'amour does his research, and his writings inspire me to do mine. Not uncommon for me to Google something once or twice per chapter.

That has always been one of my favorite L'Amour books. Most of what he describes geologically is also correct. I can't remember which book mentioned the Medicine Wheel in the Bighorns but it's still there. Take the pass between Sheridon and Lovell. Enjoy!

I've read the one that mentions the Medicine Wheel, but like you, I don't remember which one.

"Shotguns and Stagecoaches" and "Tombstone" hit my mailbox a couple of days ago from Abe Books, an online used book dealer. $19 and change for both hardcovers in great condition. My lovely wife picked up the other book from a local second hand book shop. She knows what I like Still reading through my issue of "True West", then to decide which is next

[Mumbleypeg]

The Clavin book is a good read, Steve. Those well versed in the history will not likely learn anything new, but Clavin lays out the events and explains the background dynamics leading up to them better than any author I’ve read, in an easy to understand prose. If you could read only one book about Tombstone, this is the one.
