4.0 out of 5 stars quick review of Dee Brown's "The American West", 13 May 2009
By John Hine (Birmingham, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
A lot of the material about the Indian Wars overlaps with that in Brown's "Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee" but there is in addition interesting information about the cattle drives, cowboys, the colourful characters who lived and died in Abilene, Dodge City etc. I skipped quickly through the chapters on entertainments. Well worth reading but not in the same league as "Bury My Heart".

5.0 out of 5 stars This bok is a excellent book and is very educational, 15 Aug 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: The American West (Paperback)
This is a excellent and a first class book you can refer to it when you need some infomation about thr amercian west and can get it out of it. This book really helped me do my school project on the amercian west and made me understand and learn more about it. You would reccommand this book to anybody who is doing or is just wants do know about it. I am looking foward to any other book that Dee Brown writes about anything. Once again a supherb bok thanks a lot for you help.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Wild West Comes to Life!, 5 May 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: The American West (Audio Cassette)
The audio set of Dee Brown's The American West brings to life the characters and personalities that made the wild west an exciting and at times dangerous place to live.

Although the book is very good there is nothing like listening to Mitchell Ryan's rich voice as he almost waxes rhapsodically about the adventures of Wild Bill Hickok or Big Nose Kate or Billy the Kid.
