At one point in time many youngsters wanted to be cowboys.
The Last Gunfight by Jeff Guinn brings you into the moment and makes you feel
as though you are back in the 1800’s living in the west. Jeff brings the west
to life in sharing the account of the O.K. Corral shootout with Wyatt Earp and
the cowboys.
The Last Gunfight is one that was written for all people to
love. It shares not only the ins and outs of the O.K. Corral gunfight, but it
also shares the background of Tombstone and the background of all the people
involved in that time period. The author does a remarkable job combining all
these great things together to make an outstanding book. After reading this you
will know more about the Earp’s as well as all about the west and how life
worked back then.
Jeff Guinn being a journalist really shows it through the
facts he shares through the book. He shares information that anyone with a
quite curious mind would want to know about the time. He has such a great way
of presenting himself through his writing. All of it is very sophisticated and
doesn’t leave you wondering. Throughout the book you can see just how
intelligent this man really is. Through his word choice and all the information
he includes. He really knew what he was talking about and made sure we didn’t
leave without knowing everything about the old west and the one and only Wyatt
Earp.
I found this book one of the most interesting I have ever
read. I was hooked throughout the whole book. As I read I could picture every
situation and I could almost see myself there with the Earp’s. I have always
been a big fan of the old west and Wyatt Earp. This book didn’t disappoint on
the cowboy and outlaw excitement. What really made this book so great was the
fact that you not only get to read about the main event but you get a
background on every person involved. I would highly recommend this book to
anyone looking for a great book about our American history.
This book sounds really fun to read! I can easily picture the story just through your post which makes it sound like a good tale plus history lesson all in one. You did a really good job of keeping it clean but added enough detail still.
