I liked it well enough to want to read the next one. The only reason why I can't give it five stars is because of one detail I know not to be true. The way I see it, if there are real people from that time period, in this case the Old West, you (as the author) must be faithful to the facts. Wyatt Earp makes a brief appearance. He wasn't the sheriff of Dodge City. A sheriff was the law enforcement of a county, not a city or town. Earp was a deputy marshals when he lived in Dodge City. A minor detail, I know, but an important one.
