I recently finished "Empire of the Summer Moon" Absolutely one of the best narratives of the ascendency and defeat of the Comanche Nation and Quanna Parker. Great stuff.

I picked up a biography of James Butler Hickok by one Jospeh Rosa this afternoon. I had it told to me in Deadwood a couple of weeks ago that Hickok was a Mason. I look forward to seeing if anything in this book covers that. I did find it interesting that a headstone with the Square and Compasses (configured as for the 2ND) was within view of Wild Bill's grave, and the two lanes leading to Hickok's grave were named Boaz and Jachin respectively.
