About this book

"What was achieved and destroyed, what was made up and forgotten in the American West as the continent was mapped, the natives were displaced, and exploits were transformed into legends? In this new collection, Larry McMurtry profiles explorers and martyrs, hucksters and scholars - figures in the West's enduring yet ever-shifting mixture of myth and reality."--BOOK JACKET.

Who this is for

AI · Sample

A propulsive thriller that trades depth for forward motion. The voice is direct, the chapters are short, and most readers blow through it in two sittings. If you're between heavier books and want a clean reset, this fits.
