I am very much a fan of old western movies, so I was naturally drawn to Curly Bill and Ringo: They Rode to Tell Together.  After completing the book, I certainly wasn't disappointed.  Van Holt does a great job of character development and writes in a very descriptive style and vernacular that's easy to follow and flows well. It's an easy read.The book's central characters are Curly, a cattle rustler residing in the dying town of Boot Hill, and his complicated and often fractured relationship with his fellow cowboy Ringo. Long thought to be dead, Ringo's appearance in Boot Hill is met with a lot of rumor and questions among the townspeople. It becomes widely speculated that Ringo, at the request of the town's wealthy cattle rancher, visits Boot Hill to wipe-out the rustling operations running rampant there.  The main plot is complemented well with several interesting subplots,  and an unexpected twist at the end. I would happily recommend this book to any fans of the Old West.
