There are two main reasons why this book is rated "really like" over just "like." 1) It was published in 1907, which gives it a certain interesting credibility even though it is fictional. 2) I'm an Arizona native, currently living in South Korea. The stories, tone, and of course, familiar setting all warmed my home-sick heart. I found it adventurous, funny, interesting from an anthropological perspective and all around entertaining for all who are interested in cowboy fiction. So sit back and enjoy the colorful language in this one! (Not referring to excessive use of cuss words but rather the poetically poor English).
