This is a hardback book, not a paperback. Nice patterns.

Overall very interesting, I enjoyed reading it. My only complaint was that Mr. Bass quotes someone who was incorrect and didn't go back and check the facts. He quoted someone saying that Texas still used hanging as the death penalty (that stopped in 1924). If he made one glaring error, then what else might also be wrong. I like to read well researched, factual material. Now, I will always doubt his veracity, although I will probably read other books that Mr. Bass has written.

Good story, but it could have been a shorter book, My impression was that there was a lot of "filler" material added to make the book long enough for publication. I do enjoy police procedurals, Wambaugh as much as any, and it was a thorough treatment of the case.

The usual, excellent true crime book by Ann Rule. If you like her other books, you will like this one.

I've read this book several times over the years. It really speaks to me since my ancestors also traveled westward from various European countries. This is so much more real than reading dry, historical texts covering this time period.

I've read this book several times over the years and will never give it away. This is history told from the women's point of view, covering the small day to day events that a woman would make note of in a diary. So informative and interesting.
