If one didn't know the facts that have emerged over this real-life travesty, it would be a good read. I find it unfortunate that the author has perpetuated virtually all the proven falsehoods surrounding this tragic event in Wyoming history. If you're interested in what really happened there are several well-researched books that tell the real story of this war begun by greedy and powerful men including all the way to the Governor of Wyoming and President Benjamin Harrison. Check your library for a copy of "The Longest Rope" related by an actual survivor who was one of the trappers who was at the at the KC Ranch. The TA Ranch where the final "siege" took place is now a delightful guest ranch and the original barn, complete with the gun ports is still in use.
