Old West Trivia Book Unveiled
July 5, 2009
NEW & COMPLETELY REVISED EDITION RELEASED!
OLD WEST TRIVIA BOOK
by Don Bullis
228 pages 32 photographs; 6x9
ISBN 978-1-890689-61-2 ($17.95) (Trade paper)
The glamour and fascination of the Old West is brought to life in a new way in this interesting collection of facts and figures. Historic photographs tell stories of their own as the faces of such Old West characters as Geronimo, General Custer and the Unsinkable Molly Brown enliven the text. This book covers the who, what, where, and how in the often violent settling of the land west of the Mississippi. The scope and history of the Old West is highlighted in a way that is both factual and entertaining in this unique presentation that will appeal to anyone interested in the Old West and the people and places that made it happen. Author Don Bullis has spent his life covering the people and places of New Mexico as a small-town newspaper editor and as a deputy sheriff and town marshal. He has traveled extensively throughout the Western United States to gather the facts, figures, and photos that make up this collection.

"Old West trivia book revels in minutiae about the good, the bad and the ugly of life on the frontier. Bullis' book covers hundreds of ... famous and infamous individuals from the Old West in chapters on soldiers, Indians, cowboys, cattlemen, politicians, and literature. There's a newly added chapter on "Movie and Television of the Old West." -- Albuquerque Journal, July 5, 2009

Other Reviews
Newspaper editor and deputy sheriff Don Bullis presents The New & Completely Revised Old West Trivia Book, a great source for trivia games or simple browsing. Presented in a question-and-answer format, with questions grouped in chapters by subject, the trivia ranges in topic from lawmen and outlaws, to Indians of the West and their chiefs, to wagon trains, boomtowns, women of the Old West, literature and art of the Old West, moves of the West, and much more. Now packed with even more fascinating facts than the first edition, The New & Completely Revised Old West Trivia Book is highly recommended to Western trivia buffs. "Q: What was Geronimo's real name? A: Three different sources give it three different spellings: Gokhlayeh, Goyathlay and Goyalka. One source says it translates as 'the yawner'." – MidWest Book Reviews, June 2009

Lavender in the Village Book
THREE DOG NIGHT BY THE MONTOYAS OF GRANTS TO BE SIGNED AT LAVENDER IN THE VILLAGE & SPANISH MARKET
The new ‘adult cuento’ “Three Dog Night” by Grants author Cheryl Montoya and her husband Jerry Montoya will be featured at both Lavender in the Village July 11, at 2pm in the Village of Los Ranchos (north of Albuquerque) in the New Mexico Book Co-op booth in the Barn and the New Mexico History Museum Speigelberg Bookshop (113 Lincoln Avenue, Santa Fe) on July 25, at 1pm during Contemporary Hispanic/Spanish Market. Both the author and illustrator will be at both of these events.
Reviewed by Reading New Mexico:
A cuento is a story generally passed from generation to generation. This one just happens to be for adults as Juan the Coyote, his love Maria, the local cantina girl, and his cousin Manuelito get involved in a triangular relationship. Manuelito is a bad influence on Juan and talks him into stealing a Maria's rooster that's expected to win the prize at the State Fair.
This is a fun story with charming illustrations that will make a nice gift to take home from New Mexico to the neighbors who watched your cat while you were gone or to give to your uncle that's impossible to buy for at Christmas.
However, I do have some problems with the formatting of the book combined with the contents. At 8.5 inches square, it has the appearance of a children's book. Yes, “Grown-ups” is boldly printed on the cover, but the formatting will guarantee that this book ends up mis-shelved in the children's section of the library or picked up by a well-meaning grandparent unaware that the story contains adult situations and language.
Three Dog Night is a great book for its intended audience and will bring a lot of laughs to the right readers. It does the traditional cuentos proud. -- Reading New Mexico, July 2009
The new book was released in the spring as part of La Fiesta de Colores event. The book is available at Borders, New Mexico History Museum Bookstore, Hispaniae in Old Town, El Camino Real Store in San Antonio, Korners in Grants, nmsantos.com, and many other outlets.
