Not what I expected

This was not a very good book. The stories were too short and most of them were not very good. The first couple were O.K but very short and most of the rest were not good at all. I even skiped some after a few minutes.

Terrible Book

I enjoy listening and reading old westerns and the people who settled the land. This book is a bunch of shorts stories that have nothing to do with what it's title implies. Very disatisfied.

Not good stories

not on Lious level. Some stories left a lot to be desired. Like a story about a man trying to force an old woman to marry him by shooting her cactuses

False advertising

There are some good stories in this book, but some of them are not the greatest of the 20th century.
