   "Knights of the Green Cloth - The Saga of Frontier Gamblers" by Robert K.   
   DeArment   
          An older book I recently acquired.  DeArment brings to life the   
   frontier gambler and   
          their lifestyle in this underrated book.  Profiles of many unknown (to   
   me) names make   
          this a great read.   
      
   "Lynching in Colorado - 1859-1919": by Stephen J. Leonard   
           The title says it all.  Good footnotes and easy reading make this an   
   interesting book   
            especially if you live in Colorado.   
      
   "The Grey Fox - The True Story of Bill Miner" by Mark Dugan and John   
   Boessenecker   
            The story of the most successful train robber and escape artist.    
   Nicely done   
      
   "The Death of Crazy Horse" compiled by Richard G. Hardoff   
             A gathering of interviews from people who were at Fort Robinson when   
             Crazy Horse was killed, military documents about the event and   
   newspaper   
             accounts shows how confusing the whole event was.  A book I had to   
   read   
             all the way through in one sitting.
