Sounds like Karen Wilkes has struck gold again-this time with Luck o' the Draw: Irish Gunfighters in the West. Her fifth book dives deep into the lives of three Irish-born gunfighters who converged in Pioche, Nevada during the wild 1870s. It's a vivid, historically grounded tale that brings to life the gritty characters who once roamed the mining town's dusty streets and now rest in its legendary Boot Hill graveyard.
Karen's storytelling blends meticulous research with a personal connection to Pioche-her hometown-making this more than just a Western; it's a tribute to Nevada's untamed past. If you're into frontier history, Irish heritage, or just a good old-fashioned shootout, this one's worth a read.
