If you are a Wild West addict, this is a must read for you! Well written with a lot of little known facts mixed into the narrative. As usual, Bill O'Reilly has done his homework. And it should be no surprise as he started his career as a History Teacher! I lived in New Mexico many years and have always been a history buff, especially loved the west. I have read Bill O'Reilly's other historical books, and they are all killers. Smooth glossy pages make the photographs stand out and the type easy to read. Stories are all factual and tell you what the person was really like. It's like standing on the same street and watching history unfold. This book clearly had a lot of research done, and shows in the way the characters are laid out for the reader, no frills or legends, just plain truth. My only dislike was that it ended too soon. Good thing is that now I get read it again.Read full review
Legends and Lies gives a fantastic depiction of what really happened in the Old West. It is chocked full of incredible information about each of the characters and how they lived their lives. You'll feel as if you actually knew them by the end of the book. It's a great read and very hard to put down!

Loved the book... takes you back to the development of our country and the move westward. The story of some of the people who became iconic in the "Wild West", and their encounters with native Indians, gun slingers and settlers that were moving west. Stories of the Mexican involvement with the early settlers and the crucial battles that took place.

Great book, really enjoyed the entire book.Well written. All the characters were real people of the American West. Much of the content concerning the characters I did not know about and in the past I have read about each one. Much new material that has not been printed prior to this book. A very interesting and easy read that Bill O' Reilly has put together with David Fisher.
It is easy to understand and very interesting. Takes you back in time so you do not want to put the book down! I have several of Bill O'Reilly's books and enjoy every one of them!
