I picked this up at the library because it looked like an interesting read. Wrong. I skipped through it and read some of the stories - only the ones that looked interesting to me. I think this one was better left on the library shelf, however.

Killer baseball players ... playing a game to survive, The Death Row All Stars chronicles the amazing true story of the men on Wyoming's death row in 1911 who believed they'd be granted reprieves as long as they kept winning baseball games. This is a wild tale from the Old West about convicted murderers, burglars, rapists transformed into gentlemen playing the national pastime. It's heartbreaking that a few of the players (Joseph Seng in particular) mentioned were denied a pardon from the gallows.

For fans for baseball and true crime.

Chris Enss account of Kate, a.k.a. Big-Nosed Kate, a lover of the west’s infamous Doc Holiday, tells the story of her experiences from childhood to her death. Additionally, readers get a sense of what the Wild West was like from personal descriptions and accounts of one woman’s history. The work develops from Kate’s own remembrances and other historic facts. As a Women’s history, “According to Kate” is at times rowdy and others sad; the author illuminates the reality of female lives that must rely on their own abilities to live a meager existence. Kate’s choice in survival was a combination of odd jobs and being a “lady-of-the-evening.” It is not often that the history of a woman of this social rank is recorded and shared among other male dominated histories. Unfortunately, while Kate is a strong individual, it is probably her relationships to the men of her world that propels her into the tomes of history. Through her many years and travels Kate was a madam and worked in saloons across the west. This personal story is readable, detailed, and reveals the regional history of the territories and the states in which Kate lives and works. The added details regarding Holiday, provide additional value to history. Recommended to readers of the American West History and Women’s History.… (altro)
