Fascinating book on New England history!
11. März 2011
Format:Kindle Edition
For anyone interested in tidbits of history about New England, I HIGHLY recommend this book. Told in short stories, it completely fascinated me and Im so glad to have heard about this book from an interview with the author on Vermont Public Radio.

Page-turning history of New England by a guy who knows New England!
14. April 2011
Format:Taschenbuch
Gritty indeed. These stories paint a fascinating portrait of a fascinating place (one where I'm lucky enough to live). Matthew P. Mayo brings the compelling writing style he's developed in his fiction to some of the most intriguing tales of old New England. Apparently, he's lived in several states in our nation's northeast corner - he definitely seems to know the people and places. This is rich stuff. I felt like I was learning a lot, but at the same time I couldn't put it down. Can't wait to check out some of his novels now.

Gritty History from a Great Writer Makes for a Great Read
15. Dezember 2010
Format:Taschenbuch
Matthew P. Mayo is a master of starting as irresistibly close to the action as possible. In his fiction and his non-fiction, he opens with just enough that you care about his characters and then he hits that character fast and hard. Mayo's sentences are lean, tough and graceful. His writing has a powerful sense of moment and of scene, of gesture and of other human subtleties.
Cowboys, Mountain Men, & Grizzly Bears and Bootleggers, Lobstermen & Lumberjacks tell fifty tales each of some of the most harrowing moments in their respective regions. These aren't dry recountings or glossy propaganda.
Bootleggers, Lobstermen & Lumberjacks contains stories of swamp fights, death rides, and massacres, of pirates, rum-runners, and ordinary people doing extraordinary things in the face of extraordinary circumstances.
Cowboys, Mountain Men, & Grizzly Bears features stories about gunfights, death marches, and grizzly wrestling, of narrow escapes, deadly winters, and cannibalism.
These are gritty stories - stories, as he says in the introduction of Bootleggers, of "showing courage, resolve, and pluck in one's daily life, of being tough and uncompromising in the face of adversity." Indeed, both of Mayo's Grittiest Moments books read like Loren D. Estleman and Jim Thompson got together to re-write a Stephen Ambrose history book.
