Legends of the Wild West: True Tales of Rebels & Heroes

 

I've never reviewed a magazine before . . . but here goes. I picked this one up last week.

Legends of the Wild West is an overview of the decades (roughly 1860-1900) that saw boom towns, gold rushes, shootouts, cowboys, and more in the American West. It covers the personalities (both real and legendary), history, and legacy (to include books and movies).

I enjoyed this. In ~100 pages, you get a nice overview of that era. I'm fascinated by the West . . . I'd love to visit someday (especially the ghost towns, the best of which are summarized nicely here). There was some repetition, so I give it a minor ding for that, but overall I'm glad I picked this up.
