The Wild West: A History from Beginning to End (Old West)

It is daunting to pack all the information about the Wild West into sixty-four pages. Additionally, there is no consensus as to the time of the "Old West." Generally, it began after the Civil War, but its end is subject to differing interpretations.

This book covered the high points, including cowboys, the range wars, life on the frontier, the many western towns, railroads, outlaws, and gunmen. This is interesting and easy to understand.
