Excellent! Superior! 535 pages incl. exhaustive index. The best book on the man Kit Carson. A penetrating analysis with many intelligent "asides" and commentary. For the casual reader, probably too many details. But considering the vile comments that are often expressed by revisionist historians about Kit Carson, especially in SW bars and coffee shops, Mr. Dunlay's book is without question: the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, plus ALL of the truth available when he wrote it in the late 1990s. However, one might read KIT CARSON AND HIS THREE WIVES by Marc Simmons for a more brief, but equally accurate, account of Mr. Carson. And then, BLOOD AND THUNDER by Hampton Sides is also superb, and covers the broader story of the entire Southwest, and how Kit Carson was so much a part of it.

I have read two of Anne Lamott's book previously and enjoyed them immensely. Unhappily, she seems to have taken a political path in her life that reflects itself in this book. I think it's a bit strange to blame all of Republican ex-presidents and especially George W. Bush for all of the evil feelings in the world. She even blames them for her own psychological & emotional problems. I couldn't finish the book and threw it in the trash. Ms. Lamott has slipped over the edge and can no longer be trusted to write with depth as she did before. Sad.

Probably the best history of that period ever written...of course, one should read all 6 books in order, and throw in THE COURT MARSHALL OF DANIEL BOOK, and A SORROW IN OUR HEARTS, also by Mr. Eckert.

Sensational astronominical idea for a planet...but lost in overwritten dialogue.
