John Dean – Crime Writer

Author Carol Dean has published the life story of one of the most colourful figures in the American Old West – and readers may be in for a surprise.

The reader may think that they know Buffalo Bill’s story already but Carol’s meticulous research adds immeasurably to our knowledge of the great showman for her book Buffalo Bill The Legend, which takes in everything from his film career to his enlightened politics, including his support for women’s suffrage, and his progressive approach to conservation.

Carol has covered extensively that era of history as part of her Native American series and does not always focus on the better-known individuals – see, for example, her excellent biography of the last Comanche chief Quanah Parker entitled One Man – Two Worlds and her account of the role of the Navajo as World War Two codebreakers.

Famous as Buffalo Bill may been, this latest book in the series is bound to add immeasurably to the reader’s knowledge. The books can all be purchased on Amazon.
