Possibly the best work of its kind, Dead Right is a historically accurate, concise and factual interpretation of the people, places and events of the Lincoln County War. It also contains a chronology of events, and a brief biographical study of all the major participants. If you plan to buy just one book about the Lincoln County War this should be the one! "Caldwell is a thorough researcher... and has clearly spent countless hours in detailed study of about finer points of genealogy, geography, and other arcane matters related to the Lincoln County War. He adds a few new details to the genealogical studies of major and minor figures on both sides of the conflict. There is a proper balance between cattlemen and cowboys, which is refreshing, as in much of the literature the cowboys have too often dominated over the arguably more important ranchers."
