..") month's don't "find" people. Still, this book is easy juvenile or adult reading, unpretentious, and the humorous descriptions of life in these wild times are entertaining.
New York Times critic, William Broyles Jr., writes that McGrath's chapters on the mining boomtown of Aurora "provide some wonderful frontier tales..." (about Samuel Clemens and the Daly gang's lynching by vigilantes) "...but otherwise add little to either our understanding of the West or Mr. McGrath's hypothesis" (Broyles, 1984). This is an unfair and unjustified attack on McGrath's book. A quick review of the sections on Aurora, with it's "highly structured" institutions of "law and justice," its climate, its percentage of prostitutes ("perhaps half" of the population), and its rich veins of gold and silver, were well presented, informative, and made a contribution to his thesis and to the substance of the book.
Thomas J. Noel, writing in American Historical Review, takes issue with McGrath's assertion that Chinese laborers and other minorities were not attacked violently simply because they were "members of minority groups." Noel has a good point, especially given the history of hatred and mistreatment of blacks and Native Americans. Another reviewer, Frank Schroth, writing in Library...

The only women appearances in the novel are isolate and the characters are all whores that have no precise role in the story. Indians also make their appearance felt in the story, but none of them has a significant role. Blood Meridian has nothing to do with being a revisionist western, as it does not attempt to present people with a revised picture of old westerns. It is purely anti-western,
"(Weis 9) It is doubtful that the model for Falstaff was an actual highwayman, but it is possible he was not as well behaved as would have been expected by his family, perhaps a black sheep. Falstaff appears in several of Shakespeare's plays, but there is contention whether he is the same in all. Goddard finds a rather schizophrenic portrait of both Falstaff and Henry IV.
