Shot All to Hell: Bad Ass Outlaws, Gunfighters, and Lawmen of the Old West (Back When the West Was Wild Book 1)

Very badly written and don't know how true any of it is don't bother.

Shot all to hell is very well written and knocks the hell out of the myths out there regarding the Old West. One of the myths was 2 guys facing each other before they drew. If you believe the hollywood version, you would be surprised when you read what actually took place. I would recommend this book for Western aficionados.

Excellent book that cuts through all the myths and folklore.

For me this was a walk down memory lane. The men, who lived by the gun and died by the gun, have taken on a bigger than life persona. This book tries to separate the facts from the fictions. I know about all of the men mentioned in this book so there were no real big surprises in it for me. I was raised in Oklahoma so many of the places mentioned are known to me. Many people may not know of the Daltons, the Doolins, and the others but they are known in Oklahoma. Some of them were just men, who wanted the easy life that came from a gun. One thing that struck me about this book was the way it just presented the fact as they are known no sermonizing or oh these poor unfortunate men. These men picked the life they lead. You as the reader can come to your own conclusions as to were they right or wrong. I also enjoyed the appendices, which werewolves reprints of period newspaper articles on the men and several events from the book. My only complaint was there was not enough on Tom Horn. He is an interesting page from the American West. Would I read another book by Nick Vulich on the West? Yes, I would this is the way history should be written sometimes as a great story. Want to find out about the West this is a good place to start.
