No Good Day to Die

Local author James Wolf’s No Good Day to Die (Evans & McDaniel, $30) journeys from 1851 to 1945 in real settings, but with a fictional plot. Within the exposition’s curveballs and intense action, we find ourselves centered around the Battle of Little Bighorn. Cheyenne-born Kills the Sun—a melting pot of his own—lives through a revolving door of culture, from fighting for his tribe and saving the life of an American president, to acting in Hollywood films years later. Between the rotation of key historical groups of people and events, there is rarely an insignificant moment. This book is as educational as it is intense and shocking; a must-read to diversify your knowledge of the West. So, tell everyone to hold off their book recommendations for the fall because you will be spending time on No Good Day to Die. Available at Wolf's Mercantile in Livingston.
