Reviews

I liked this book very much --<i>Cyber Boxing Zone</i>; well researched, documented, an interesting and enjoyable read...Agnew does an excellent job of compiling a compendium on just about every possible entertainment used to rally a small western town...an excellent reference volume that should grace the western writer and researcher's bookshelf for years to come. Agnew's much needed contribution to the field is a breath of fresh air...full of fascinating trivia and facts --<i>Wild West History Journal</i>.
