Lots of stories

This is a compilation audiobook of several different smaller ones. Some are better than the others. I particularly enjoyed the one about Seth Bullock as I had never heard of him before. The last one was about Geronimo (Goyaałé) which was really interesting and I learned some new details there too.

I really enjoy Jason Zenobia’s narration as always and having the same narrator across all these different books was enjoyable.

quite the collection

since I'd already listened to a couple of these separately, I was able to skip em. I really enjoyed the ones about Annie Oakley n Jesse James. Seth Bullock was pretty interesting, too. Geronimo's tale surprised me, as I didn't know much about him. I felt Billy the Kid was, of course, interesting, but shorter than I would have liked. I also wish they could have included more on Hickok, in his own story.

Jason Zenobia rocked, of course

Narrator

The Narrator was terrible in the book. Many mistakes with dates and such. Will not buy another book with this narrator.
