{"product_id":"9780940666962","title":"True Tales of the American Southwest: Pioneer Recollections of Frontier Adventures","description":"Howard Bryan's latest book offers a treasury of stories, anecdotes, and   personal histories published here for the first time. Drawn from his personal   archives, Bryan's book is based on the recollections of pioneering   \"old-timers\" who lived in the Southwest in the 1800s and early decades of   this century as the frontier era was drawing to a close. In extended informal   interviews during the 1950s, Bryan collected the material from old-timers who   lived through the events and whose stories typified the determination, humor,   and courage of men and women surviving in dangerous and violent times.\u003cp\u003e  \u003cb\u003eAbout the Author:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  Howard Bryan is a popular western historian who originally came to prominence   working as an Albuquerque reporter and columnist from 1948 to 1990.
