I gave that a 4/5. I recommend The Sacketts series by Louis L'Amour (I started last year) for historical fiction fans. The first 4 books have been outstanding and we haven't even reached the west yet.
Currently reading The Blue Mustang by Will Henry. Coming of age story.

I'm very fond of Louis L'Amour, fond enough to buy a copy of
The Sackett Companion by Louis L'Amour which is basically author's notes for the Sackett books he had written with additional references to books he had planned to write. I found the forward well worth reading. (BTW the first four books were not the first written & the earliest ones written are much shorter and closer to typical Westerns).
