I was disappointed with the book, "Unsolved Mysteries of the Old West." Though there was some new-to-me information presented, most of what was included in this book was similar to what I'd read in other books. I love mysteries. I love the old west. What better than mysteries of the old west, and unsolved ones, at that? What better? Maybe new clues. Maybe better writing. Maybe completely new, never before discussed unsolved mysteries. After all this time, does the last one exist? Certainly the first two could have come together in this book, but didn't. Although my personal library includes many books that are "iffy", this particular volume will be finding a new home. I look forward to getting new books, and was ever so hopeful about this one. Alas. Esta reseña ha sido escrita por los Primeros Reseñadores de LibraryThing. Jameson's book covers twenty-one mysteries of the Old West and includes Butch Cassidy, Billy the Kid, Pearl Hart, Belle Star and Etta Place. However if you are looking for new information, this is not the book. Even though old mysteries do tend to stay unsolved, I would have preferred a well-researched, documented case study of each. (lj) Esta reseña ha sido escrita por los Primeros Reseñadores de LibraryThing. I recently finished "Unsolved Mysteries of the Old West", and found it to be an entertaining read. Each chapter has less than ten pages, yet despite the brevity, it describes a mystery, gives us a background of the mystery, and adds suppositions given by others.No mysteries are solved, but how others investigate each mystery makes for an entertaining experience Esta reseña ha sido escrita por los Primeros Reseñadores de LibraryThing. My main complaint with the novel is that of all the "mysteries of the old west" novels that preceded it, I was leery that there would be anything new, and there really wasn't. In addition to the standard fare (the fates of Butch Cassidy and Billy the Kid) that every preceding "mysteries of the old west" have covered to death, I would have hoped for something new and interesting and that simply wasn't there.Pro-tip - "Random uninteresting person in late 1800s went missing" is not a mystery. Its the 1800s, lots of people went missing. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
History.
Nonfiction.
HTML: Two subjects continue to fascinate people-the Old West and a good mystery. This book explores and examines twenty-one of the Old West's most baffling mysteries, which lure the curious and beg for investigation even though their solutions have eluded experts for decades. Many relate to the death or disappearance of some of the best-known lawmen and outlaws in history, such as Billy the Kid, Buckskin Frank Leslie, John Wilkes Booth, The Catalina Kid, and Butch Cassidy. Others involve mysterious tales and legends of lost mines and buried treasures that have not been recovered-yet. .No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
