My hero, Colt Jackson, is a supernatural hunter/gunfighter. Rosa and The Industrial Revolution by John Watney. Sheridan, How Would You Survive in the American West by Jacquelin Morley, Age of the Gunfighter Men and Weapons on the Frontier 1840-1900 by Joseph G. Among the titles are The Writer’s Guide to Everyday Life in the 1800’s by Marc McCutcheon, Wild and Wooly An Encyclopedia of the Old West by Denis McLoughlin, A Dictionary of The Old West by Peter Watts, A History of the Southwest The Land and Its People by Thomas E. This first group is just a sample of the historical reference materials I’m looking at while researching the American West. Others just give a precious glimpse into the attitudes and social behaviors of the time. Some are for details of how and why things happened. Some books are good for giving me images. So today I’d thought I’d share with you a little snippet of my research library on my shelves. As a writer I need to research my topic (which for me is often one of the most fun parts). Steampunk is forever taking twists on actually historical materials and giving them a whole new perspective…sometimes from an airship.īut I digress.
With three upcoming books set in the weird and wild American West, I’m going to need to make sure I get things right.
