I, Tom Horn

Rating:
Summary: Enjoyable, but not overly so.
Review: After reading "Life of Tom Horn", the fictional account did not quite live up to expectations. Apparently freely borrowing for "Life of Tom Horn", "I, Tom Horn" was a disappointment.

Rating:
Summary: For History & Legend Buffs. You will not put this book down!
Review: Once Tom Horn leaves the Horn farm and heads west, the story quickens and never lets you go. We follow Tom Horn through his early years, just after the civil wars, through his formative years (14-16 yrs old) and his involvement with the 10 year long Apache Wars, all the way up to Chief of Scouts, U.S.Army and the capturing of Geronimo.Next we follow Tom Horn through the Cattle Wars and his evolution from a rustler chaser, to manhunter to a gunslinger for hire to a killer. And finally to his Hanging (righteous or not). The legend is here. I couldn't lay the book down wondering what would happen next, and I knew the history. You won't either.
