Excellent biography, well written, balanced, and has new material from the Hickok family and friends. James letters show an inner man that presents a different perspective. This isn’t a rehashing of earlier biographies.
Anyone interested in Hickok will find this new biography builds on and adds to the work of Joseph Rosa’s landmark work several decades earlier.
This new book deserves a place on your bookshelf if you have an interest in the man and the Old West.
