   Why is it that when one writer comes up with   
   a new book, a dozen others follow?  Not long ago   
   I read a pretty good book about Buffalo Bill Cody   
   and his "tribe" and now I see that novelist Larry   
   McMurtry has come out with his own version. Very   
   odd, since the other authors have published their   
   own accounts in the recent past, beating McMurtry   
   to the punch.   
      
   The Colonel and Little Missie, by McMurtry, apparently   
   focuses on Wm F. Cody and Annie Oakley.   
      
   While: Buffalo Bill and Sitting Bull, by Bobby Bridger   
   focuses on that relationship.   
      
   And there are about a dozen other books on the same   
   subject published in the past dozen years. And   
   I'll bet not one of these writers has an original   
   thought among them! When you consider the time and   
   effort that goes into getting yet another book on   
   a given subject published, one has to wonder what   
   is going on?
