This is a children`s book about violent period of American history, Great for the locals, because main character is a historical person, but a boring for non-loccals.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It was only 155 pages but filled with information. It gave the reader a glimpse of life in the 1860's through a man wanted. Even though he was a wanted man, Marshall Cleveland, was charming and fascinating. He had many roles in his short life and his diversity was part of his appeal. David Hann writes in such a way that you felt like you were actually there.

This is a fun and informative biographical fiction with a strong western flavor, both as a result of it’s language choices and the deeds of its bad-boy hero. And it’s biographical fiction in the best sense of the term, with an author who has stayed true to the known facts and worked within them to create a plausible story line. My only wish is that it was longer—I found everything about this book enjoyable.
