LOTS of mistakes.......2001-09-18

This book is entertaining and well-organized; unfortunately, it's not very accurate. Some of the author's mistakes are due to credulity (it's possible, but not likely, that Butch Cassidy survived his final gunfight in South America; O'Neal reports it as fact); some to partisanship (he's an unabashed Clantonite in the matter of the OK Corral, and thus again reports speculation as fact); and some to ignorance (he doesn't seem to be aware that Florentine Cruz and "Indian Charlie" were probably the same person). The history of the American West is treacherous territory, and nobody can avoid a few mistakes, but Mr. O'Neal seems to make more than his share. I can't recommend this book.

This One is Done Right.......2000-10-22

What a great book for Western gunfighter nerds! O'Neal did his research and presents it in a highly accessible manner. I've had this book for over a decade and I still return to it with a gleam in my eye once or twice a year.

Possibly the best book in my extensive Western library.......2000-07-10

This book is fascinating because it separates truth from fiction. All documented gunfights of the old west are included here (as of the book's writing), & all gunfights that are undocumented are excluded. It's as simple as that. I don't buy the author's premise that if it was a real gunfight, it must have been documented at the time (wouldn't most killers have wanted to keep their killings a secret if at all possible, & wouldn't it be reasonable to assume that a good number of gunfights occurred in deserted, out of the way places where there likely would be no witnesses?). Other than that, this book is an old west fan's bible! It's that good!

Review of Enyclopedia of Western Gunfighters.......2000-01-06

Bill O'Neal's work is not a simple re-hash of old facts. Instead it is a refreshing and factual look at the men who made the frontier into the myth that survives today. The most interesting aspect of the book is that it shows, over and over, how truth often far outshines fiction in its detail and graphic nature. It is apparent in one read that O'Neal has an intimate knowledge of his subject. This book is destined to become a cornerstone of reference libraries for any and all western history aficionados.

An absolute must for all gunfighter enthusiasts........1999-09-19

Bill O'Neal has included information on 255 gunfighters including Jesse James, Wyatt Earp, Billy the Kid, amongst lesser known 'shootists' with equally sensational feats. It is an excellent source of reference. Where possible dates have been provided for births, deaths and gunfights. He has been careful not to glamorize the gunfighters achievements by concentrating upon hard facts, rather than speculating into more contentious issues. However, it is by no means exhaustive and in some areas could do with updating, in view of recent material surfacing. A good example of this would concern the careers of such characters as Wyatt Earp and Curly Bill Brocius. Nevertheless, a thoroughly enjoyable read, and an excellent acquisition for any personal library on 'Western Gunfighters'.

Book Description

Stretching from "Aaron, Sam, Arizona pioneer" to "Zutacapan, Acomo pueblo chief," the three-volume Encyclopedia of Frontier Biography profiles approximately 4,500 frontier pioneers and Native Americans. Dan L. Thrapp's comprehensive work will interest scholars, researchers, and general readers curious about the figures who developed, defended, decorated, and devilized the American West.

All the famous ones are here: Volume I (A–F) includes Billy the Kid, Daniel Boone, Calamity Jane, George Custer, Buffalo Bill, Cochise, and John C. Fremont, among others. There are also entries for worthies less well known: Big Nose Kate, Nellie Cashman, Scott Cooley, to cite a few. Even Gary Cooper and other actors who portrayed westerners are sketched in. Thrapp’s richly detailed biographies are continued in Volumes II (G–O) and III (P–Z).

Thrapp has included seventeenth- and eighteenth-century figures in both New France and New England, as well as the trans-Appalachian country, but the majority are nineteenth-century men and women who discovered, settled, fought for, or simply lived in the raw lands west of the Mississippi River.

Book Description

Born in Riverton, North Carolina, Gerald White Johnson (1890-1980) served as one of the most eloquent spokespersons for America's adversary culture in the twentieth century. His prolific career spanned nearly seventy-five years and produced approximately fifteen million words. Among his more than forty books were biographies, histories, novels and two highly successful children's series on American history and government. A friend of H. L. Mencken, Johnson always considered himself primarily a journalist. His prose brought acclaim to such newspapers as the Greensboro Daily News and the Baltimore Evening Sun. He was a regional writer who enjoyed dissecting the South for his fellow southerners and explaining it to Yankees, and a national writer who did not hesitate to voice his opinion on everything from the 1929 stock market crash to Vietnam.

In the first biography of Johnson, Vincent Fitzpatrick draws upon a wealth of archival material to chronicle the writer's service in the American Expeditionary Force during World War I, his experience as the first professor of journalism at the University of North Carolina, and his years in Baltimore with the Evening Sun. Fitzpatrick analyzes Johnson's commentary on the Scopes trial, denunciation of the Ku Klux Klan, defense of President Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal, criticism of Senator Joseph McCarthy, and battles with the Republican Party during President Eisenhower's two terms. He was, to borrow his own phrase, a "disturber of the peace." Fitzpatrick brings this controversial essayist, journalist, editor, historian, biographer, and novelist vividly to life in all his diverse roles. The long and lively career of Gerald Johnson, whom Adlai Stevenson extolled as "the critic and conscience of our time," proves a significant part of the American record in the twentieth century.

Before frequent flyer miles, before the "Thunderbirds," before Mission Control, there was trial and error. From the Curtiss Pusher to the space age, one eccentric man's biography serves as a microcosm for those adventursome days of early aviation.

They Really Did Break the Mold.......2006-05-16

Bain E. ("Shorty") Fulton was a truly remarkable man, a legend in his own time. He was a pioneer aviator of the generation of Jimmy Doolittle and Charles Lindbergh, an energetic, goal-oriented man whose intense dedication helped to create the Akron Municipal Airport, Derby Downs and the Rubber Bowl. He could be an "ornery cuss," but was thoughtful and loving with his family. I know these things to be true because I grew up in Akron, Shorty Fulton and my father were good friends, and I personally witnessed many of the events described in Elynore Fulton Hambleton's humorous and loving memoir of her father. His exploits seem like those of a fictional, larger-than-life character, but they are true! Once I started reading, I was unable to put the book down.

One of the "Little Guys" Who Make America Great.......2002-07-14

"Shorty" Fulton was a man with big dreams in a country big enough to provide an opportunity for an entrepreneur to achieve them. If this statement sounds like a cliché, it is, and it is precisely true. His daughter has written a loving and humorous memoir of her father's role in the birth of aviation in Ohio. From building his own plane in 1912 to the creation and promotion of Akron's Municipal Airport, to talking his way overseas during WW II and ending up in a German POW camp at age 53, Bain "Shorty" Fulton was an American classic, a real visionary.

Elynore Fulton Hambleton chronicles the magical years when pilots literally flew by the seats of their pants, dirigibles almost became the airship of choice, and the National Air Races were the biggest event in Ohio. At seven, Elynore was shoveling slag off a truck driven by her nine-year-old sister to fill in a giant "A" so pilots could identify the airport from the air. The girls met the daring young pilots and the celebrities who were attracted to the air races. But they also experienced tragedy when their pilot friends were killed in crashes. At a time when girls were traditionally relegated to home and hearth, "Shorty" believed that his girls were capable of helping run the airport and related businesses.

In 140 fascinating pages, "Shorty" Fulton's imaginative promotions, the ups and downs of business, his WW II experiences, and their sometimes hilarious family life demonstrate the kind of "can-do" that Americans are noted for. Yep, they don't make `em like that anymore!
