As a kid I loved the book "Old Yeller" and probably read it twenty times growing up.  I just loved reading and rereading the stories about life back then and hearing about all of the adventures (even if they were fiction).  This book reminded me in many ways of "Old Yeller" both because of the setting and time period, but also because of how I felt as I was reading this book... I just wanted to read it and then go back and reread it again!  It is well-written, interesting and chock full of stories that are just fascinating.  I found myself reading sections aloud to my kids because I knew they would love hearing about all of the adventures.  I also really liked how the author really described the setting, the food, the clothes, the way of life in such detail - I really learned all kinds of new things about life in the American Old West.  I would definitely recommend this book to fans of westerns and stories about our nation's history.  This is one of the best ones that I have ever read.
