"This book reads like a treasure trove of information that any old west historian will devour with enthusiasm. It drops names of every character who passed through the Dakota Territory in the 1860's - 1870's. The Gold Rush brought every type of scoundrel, adventurer, fortune hunter and outlaw you could imagine to this raw and untamed country. Research for this book seems to tie together over a hundred years of information, misinformation, corrections, back tracking and second guessing theories. Turner digs into the stories trying to prove the reality and misconceptions, some of which have been accepted as fact. He supports then with maps, photos, time lines, and testimony. For the historian looking to understand the characters and flesh out people they have come to know, this book will prove a valuable resource. I especially enjoyed the pictures and documents as evidence of great research."
