Nancy S. - , reviewed The Gentle Tamers: Women of the Old Wild West on 4/25/2009 + 63 more book reviews

Helpful Score: 1

This is an excellent book with many stories of every imaginable character - from the gentle Eastern lady to the bar-room brawlers -- all of which went West to begin life anew. It is obvious that Dee Brown has done a lot of research, and he knows how to put together a very interesting read of many amusing stories as well as the serious and harsh effects the West had on women. If you like history at its best, you will enjoy this book.
