Comanche Moon : A Novel
Larry McMurtry
Simon & Schuster, 2000
real characters, in three dimension
I wish I had read the book before I saw the movie. So much more realism in the book. The characters seem to jump out of the pages and become real. I cant wait to get back to reading after I have stopped. I want to finish this so I can get to the next book.

William Thomas Hagan
University of Oklahoma Press, 1995
Good, In-Depth Look at a Great Man
Although I tend to be wary of any biographies that speak with an omnisient narrative voice, and don't cite their sources as they go, Hagan's book does well remaining mostly unbiased in discussing native-white relations, and stating facts. It has an excellent ...
