Praise for Glorious
“Glorious has all the elements of a fabulous western: compelling
characters, breathtaking scenery, and something more—an unblinking
take on the western frontier.”—Craig Johnson, New York Times
bestselling author of the Walt Longmire mysteries, the basis of
A&E’s hit series Longmire
“Glorious is old-fashioned in the very best way: It’s good-hearted,
optimistic, compelling, comfortable, and extremely well told. It’s
wonderful when an author clearly has an affection for his
characters, and readers will feel the same way.”—New York Times
bestselling author C. J. Box
“I’ve long admired Jeff Guinn’s straight and unfiltered histories
of the American icons such as Bonnie and Clyde and the Earps. I was
thrilled to know he’d be turning that eye for detail and incredible
research to revive the western. Glorious is a blazing return of the
American art form, bold, realistic, and a hell of a lot of
fun.”—New York Times bestselling Ace Atkins
“[Guinn] knows how to dig into the past...An absorbing,
informative, and entertaining tale of life, love, hope, and
ambition in the American West.”—The Dallas Morning News
“An affable...bit of frontier mythmaking...Readers may find by the
end that, like Cash McLendon, they’ve become inexplicably fond of
Glorious and its colorful denizens.”—The Washington Post
“A worthy addition to the western genre...Catnip for Lonesome Dove
fans.”—The Seattle Times
“Will delight historical fiction fans longing for the return of
classic Westerns. This entertaining outing is sure to keep the
saloon doors swinging for more entries in the genre.”—Library
Journal
“The Wild West comes alive in this novel of prospectors, desolate
cavalry posts, rotgut saloons and Apache raiders....The plot is
classic...Good fun.”—Kirkus Reviews
More Praise for the Cash McLendon Series
“Guinn makes lively characters of historical buffalo hunters, and
his imaginative take booms like a Sharps .50 as cultures collide
across the Cimarron River...Guinn's research brings to life the
daily lives of the Comanche.”—Kirkus Reviews
“Full of historical notable figures from the Old West, this second
volume in Guinn’s trilogy not only provides a buoyant narrative but
also several lessons in Western history.”—Library Journal
“[A] rousing story of revenge....Plenty of action for genre western
fans but enough meat for a broader cut of historical-fiction
readers.”—Booklist
“This is what Guinn does: Instead of filling his books with the
mythology of the Old West, much of which has no basis in fact, he
goes for authenticity and reveals what life in those times really
was like.”—Fort Worth Star-Telegram
“Perfect for fans of John Wayne and Zane Grey...A worthy read for
any fan of the Old West. Lively characters, authentic Old West
settings, and great storytelling highlight this tale...Silver
City is a rousing Western adventure, and one this ol' cowboy
fan found very satisfying.”—The Oklahoman
