This
book gives an overview of what the term “Wild West” refers to including cowboys,
outlaws, Native Americans, Western movies and life in remote areas. Each page spread has pictures, multiple
paragraphs and side bars with interesting facts. Because so many topics are covered it
is more of a teaser of information that might peak a reader’s interest to find
out more. The pictures were the best
part and are very appealing and at the end there are a few pages about myths
and weird but true facts.
I guess my
issue with this particular book is the cover has a UFO above two cowboys but
the last page has a short paragraph explaining the UFO and that’s it. Also, I didn’t think there were that many
weird facts presented, but just a basic explanation of western life and too many topics were taken on. The cover was more interesting than the
inside information.
