I'm looking for a good comprehensive book of the American Old West and associated events. Any recommendations?
TIA.

For history of the Southwest, anything by a guy named Marc Simmons. He is a professor at U New Mex and is really easy to read as well as knowledgeable. Among other things he is somewhat an expert on Billy the Kid.
