The truth about the Wild West has always been buried beneath dust, blood, and legend. This book digs it up.
In A History Written in Blood: When the West Was Wild, acclaimed historical author John Frances strips away the myths and movie gloss to reveal the raw, unfiltered reality of America's most chaotic era. Told in vivid, emotionally charged storytelling that reads like a novel but stays rooted in fact, this book follows the birth, rise, and slow death of the Wild West-through the eyes of those who lived it, and those who bled for it.
You won't find romantic cowboys or squeaky-clean sheriffs here. Instead, you'll meet the real Billy the Kid-starving, hunted, unpredictable. You'll walk through the blood-soaked streets of Tombstone, ride with Butch and Sundance before the fade to Bolivia, and witness the quiet rage of Sitting Bull standing against impossible odds.
This is the West as it really was: brutal, lawless, and teetering between freedom and madness. From the first frontier trails to the final Hollywood fadeout, A History Written in Blood tells the full story-chronologically, truthfully, and without apology.
