-D. Donovan, Sr. Reviewer, Midwest Book Review:
The West: Land of Opportunity is a collection of Western stories filled with a storyteller’s penchant for high drama and strong characterization.
Any advanced elementary to middle grader readers who have thought of Western history as dry and one-dimensional would do well to read the vivid stories, here. Johnny Gunn’s tall tales outline not just events, but concepts about the West and its characters. Gunn doesn’t just cover positive people seeking opportunity in the wild West: the stories include characters with more nefarious attitudes and motivations.
Each story is designed to feature different characters that represent disparate facets of Western experience, from lawmen and strangers to individuals concerned with either upholding or thwarting the forces of frontier justice.
Through these tales, readers will gain a renewed appreciation for the opportunities, obstacles, encounters, and characters attracted to the American West.
Gunn is especially adept at creating compelling scenarios which embrace problem-solving, social and political situations (as they pertain to frontier living, of course), and encounters that test not only the mettle of each character, but their perception of and place in the West.
All these features are why The West: Land of Opportunity is highly recommended for libraries seeking lively discourses that will attract not just young history buffs, but leisure readers who will find its “you are here” atmosphere compelling, realistic, and thoroughly engrossing.
