Excellent yarn!

Great novel of the Wild West whether true or not. Only difficulty I suppose is that we’ll never know, but that in no way lessons enjoyment of the story, much the same as any John Wayne movie!

An entertaining romp

Throughly enjoyed this book and would definitely get the sequel in the future.
The narration really adds to this whimsical historical fiction. The writer is having fun and he throws in plenty of well known wild west characters yet the story is quite strong and has you in an array of emotion in amongst the humour.
Worth a listen without doubt.

It’s the second time I’ve read it in the last few weeks. The second time of reading I found bits, so I have fallen sleep or miss the first time I read. It
Description, wonderful picture in your head. It’s worth raging by one and all but especially young boys imagine themselves in the old west
