Brigham's Destroying Angel: Being the Life, Confession and Startling Disclosures of the Notorious Bill Hickman, Danite Chief of Utah

Rating:
Summary: Living the real wild west
Review: I really enjoyed reading this book though I did read it with a little grain of salt added. Seeing how Hickman wrote it himself I'm sure the truth and fact was sprinkled with a little sugar.

I was glad Beale didn't do much editing and left the manuscript mostly as Hickman wrote it. I could almost hear the screaming indians, hear the cries of wounded men, hear the horses being lead out of the coral...by thives. I could see the murdered men fall from the saddle, watch the hangings and sit in court watching justice....sort of being served.

If you enjoy non fiction western then this is the book to read, providing you can read a little between the lines.

There's no doubt living in those days of the untamed west was trying and difficult, all of the settlers and emigrants had to be a very tough and hardy bunch.
