Considering it is a western and sounds great I'm sure a lot of people will really enjoy this one

Sounds exciting! All the exploration and adventure that I would like to do. First for some reason I thought of not reading the book but now after reading your review I want to read it. Thanks for the great review.

This sounds like fun, I love stories about hidden, forgotten treasures lying waiting to be found somewhere. Fun that this is a true story too! I can't wait to read this one. Thanks for the good review!

Great review it looks like it has a bit of everything. Going to be a good book to mix up what I have been reading lately.

Interesting and captivating review. Westerns are a great way to study the past and it seems like this author has done a good job of studying and portraying the reality and conditions of that time period. Thanks.

Great review! While I don't normally read either historical fiction nor westerns this story sounds completely fascinating! The authenticity and suspense both make me want to check this book out. This is a book that I would probably passed on if not for your thorough review. Thanks so much for sharing.

There are many interpretations of what the wild west was like so I am looking forward to reading this one.

Great, thorough review! The book doesn't seem like my cup of tea - not a fan of westerns or gruesome scenes. I do appreciate the warnings about the violence and racist speech.

I have never read a Western genre book. I enjoy watching some Western movies like Wyatt Earp and have always been fascinated with this time period in history. Great review!! I might just check this book out because it is a quick read and it sounds great. I like that it is based off of a true story.

I'll admit, I was skeptical this would be a book for me... never been a big fan of cowboy/westerns , but after reading your review and the first couple pages of the book, I'm a bit intrigued!

Great review! I'm not really in the mood for a wild west story right now, but this sounds like a great one.
