Those Were the Days: A Daily Encyclopedia of the Old West (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780595447923)

Here's L'Aloge's Old West Magnum Opus. Over 9 years in the researching and writing. Over 12,000 events gathered and chronicled about the Old West on a daily basis. L'Aloge has skillfully drawn material from family journals, newspaper accounts, and a wide variety of primary and secondary sources to bring to the reader a in-depth look at what life was like on a daily basis in the Old West. No other author has ever presented such a work as THOSE WERE THE DAYS. No other historian has gone out of his way, like L'Aloge, to bring you such events as not only the killing of Billy the Kid but to such true tales as the first jack rabbit round-up in the Old West. From what the cowboys in Montana had on their Christmas dinner in 1871 to what happened to the body of Jesse James in 1902. And much, much more. It's THE BOOK to have for lovers of the Old West.
