Hi friends!
In my opinion this is a great topic and I'd like say something me too.
I have many books about the Old West. For references is indispensable Everyday life in the Wild West 1840-1900 by Candy Moulton. It's inescapable.
Are useful books may be:
The look of the Old West by William Foster-Harris, for other things aside those on the Moulton's book.
Encyclopedia of western lawmen and outlaws by Jay Nash, and Encyclopedia of western gunfighters by Bill O'Neal, for useful biographies, also of unknown men.
The gunfighter: man or myth? by Joseph Rosa, for many details about the life and weapons of the gunfighter; The age of the gunfighters for an excellent reference about firearms.
Seeking pleasure on the Old West by David Dary, for details of everyday life.
Life of a soldier on the western frontier by Jeremy Agnew, is an excellent reference about soldiers, forts and war campaigns.
Frontier Living by Edwin Tunis, good reference for everyday life details in the whole period.
Historic dress of the Old West by Ernest Reedstrom, good visual reference.
Best of american cowboy by Ramon F. Adams, about the cowboy life and work.
The American Frontier by William Davis, an excellent Old West history illustrated compendium.
