The book signing this past week for How the West Was Worn was a success and I’d like to share the success with those who visit my website. Visitors who email me and tell me what interests them most about women of the Old West will receive a free copy of the book. I’m including a review of the book from a reader named Mark Keehnel to give you an idea of what others like about the material. Mark writes, “This book contains a great deal of helpful information for anyone wanting to know the clothing styles worn during the frontier period in the old west, whether for research purposes or just for the fun of it.” Drop me a line and I’ll send you a book. I was in Arizona the last few days. It was hot, but a joy to visit. My desk was piled with work when I got back, but that’s to be expected. I’ve spent the day working on making sure all my sources are noted on the posse book. I’ve used numerous primary and secondary sources to gather the information needed to write the book. It’s been a pleasure. Look for a copy of How the West Was Worn for all those who send an email. I believe you’ll enjoy the book!
