Readers of the Texas Rangers' Dispatch, the NOLA Quarterly and the WOLA Journal, as well the the Journal of Big Bend Studies and Wild West Magazine, know the fresh and  groundbreaking research and writings of  Paul Cool. Paul has a knack for bringing to life important events in Western history that others missed. It was for his book titled "Salt Warriors"  that Paul  won the Robert A. Calvert Book Prize in 2007, and was named a Southwest Book of the Year for 2008. More on Paul's work and future projects can be found at http://www.paulcoolbooks.com/home. -John Rose
   Paul recently wrote with reaction to  the WyattEarpExplorers website...


Congratulations...  This stands apart from the usual Tombstone-centric site. No rehash of who-fired-first at you-know-where.  I like the mix of topics ranging from other key events the Earp/Cowboy/Behan narrative that hooked so many of us to the standalone topics, such as Wyatt's home, that flesh out the lives in that narrative.  And your willingness to engage in open dialog about old and current controversies, such as Cottonwood and Drew's, setting forth your evidence for all to see, is something I really appreciate.  Any historian setting foot in these historical mine fields can only benefit greatly from the full discussion you seek to encourage.  Finally, I love the posting of primary documents. Great job there.  Again, congrats and continued success.

Salt Warriors won the Robert A. Calvert Book Prize (2007) and was named a Southwest Book of the Year for 2008.
