The summer of 1876 was a key time period in the development of the mythology of the Old West. Many individuals who are considered legends by modern listeners were involved in events that began their notoriety or turned out to be the most famous—or infamous—moments of their lives. Those individuals were Lieutenant Colonel George Armstrong Custer, Sitting Bull, Crazy Horse, Wyatt Earp, Bat Masterson, Wild Bill Hickok, and Jesse James. The Summer of 1876 weaves together the timelines of the events that made these men legends.

Love the podcast, and this book was a great way to weave the various events and people of this moment in time, together. As a proud Coloradan I have only one minor criticism. In book about the West in 1876, the addition of Colorado to the Union on August 1, 1876, the day before Wild Bill is killed, didn’t get a mention. Again a very minor, and selfish critique and not enough to tarnish my enjoyment of the book.

Must read for those sincerely interested

This is one of those books that everyone should (or needs) to read. It is equal parts fascinating and infuriating. It is clear from the book that the failures during the COVID-19 pandemic, which were legion, cannot be pinned solely to any particular officials or organizations. This book should be a wake-up that we need to take a serious look at operational aspects of our public health apparatus, and how we communicate public health information and data with both domestic audiences and international partners. If you are of the opinion that the problems during the pandemic can be pinned on specific people or organizations you are probably correct. The target of your ire likely deserves their share of blame. However, you’d be equally incorrect in shifting too much blame toward that same target. At nearly every inflection point during the pandemic there were missteps or outright failures, at all levels. Some of them occurred before anyone in the U.S. was even aware of COVID-19. Some occurred in the earliest days of U.S. awareness while others persisted for weeks and months.
For those sincerely interested in understanding what went wrong, this is the book you should read. Understanding the entire, complex picture is vital to fixing the problems that exacerbated the pandemic. Focusing only on specific individuals, groups or policies, and ignoring the multitude of other factors is a sure fire way to assure the next pandemic hits us just as hard, and is just as crippling.
