Western Clothes – Tack & More

This is a very cute outfit. It fit well and doesn't look "cheap". I will wear it with black tights and my own cowboy boots. Even the hat is cute. Be sure you are within the weight range for the size you order. Happy Halloween!

A friend told me about Apaloosa and Resolution< I didn't think I would like Westerns. I was dead wrong. I immediately went out and bought Brimstone and a few others and this latest Fistful of Thorns was fantastice reading.

I am a fan of the 19th century American West but usually prefer histories and personal accounts to fiction. But this book is a pleasant exception. As Doc Holiday is a figure somewhat overshadowed by the Earp saga in most historical sources (and we western culture fans know of the broad range of treatment that legend receives in so called historical text) it was exciting to get some insight into such a pivotal character. Mr. Crane does an excellent job of blending fact (as closely as it can be determined) with imagination in portraying a personality that nearly stands as the greatest example of skilled gunman. What is fascinating about Holliday, and so brilliantly demonstrated here by Crane, is that he was neither lawman nor outlaw but driven by his own personal codes of honor and loyalty. Sometimes, stories of which we know the ending can bog down. But in this case, Mr. Crane keeps you turning the pages because his colorful description of Doc makes the journey of discovery more important than the fateful destination.I would recommend this book to anyone who appreciates the importance of the American Western Myth in defining our culture, enjoys stories of heroism and sacrifice, or just likes gun play. It was one of the fastest reads I have had in a while.

This is a wonderfully entertaining story that illustrates just how much courage it takes to stand up to corruption and greed. While most tales of the Old West paint Doc as shady sidekick to the noble and just Earps, Michael Crane shifts the focus and shows us a much more complete picture. We see that while Doc was the hard drinking gambler with a deadly temper that we're all familiar with, he was also a man of immense loyalty, constant chivalry, and unyielding integrity. True to the nature of the story, the author doesn't take you by the hand and gently lead you along the walkways of Tombstone, but instead grabs you by the back of the arm and pulls you through the saloons, alleys and bloody confrontations that made up Doc's world...it's a hell of tour!

Ably written by attorney, former police officer, and western law enforcement expert Michael A. Crane, A Fistful Of Thorns is a superbly crafted novel about the legendary frontier figures Doc Holliday and Kate Elder. Seamy political corruption, power struggles that escalate to ruthless violence, and a powerful evocation of a western frontier yesteryear fill the pages of this riveting and highly recommended saga of the Old West.

Hold on for a wild and adventurous ride through the Wild West! This captivating novel about Doc Holliday paints a vivid picture of not only his life as a notorious gun fighter but also portrays his more reputable characteristics as a gentleman and devoted friend. Doc's journey through the Wild West tells a story of corruption and law prior to the admittance of the Territory of Arizona into the Union. A Fistful of Thorns is a must read, captivating its reader from the beginning to the end.
