The book I'm currently writing (which, I'm confident, will be available in 20-25 years) involves a fair amount of research into the history of the Old West. Honestly, it's going to be humorous but I will be covering some of the darker days of that period. I won't bore you with the details but one of the incidents I cover is the "Sand Creek Massacre"---a horrific, almost genocidal act in the Indian Wars. One of the guys involved was called Morse Coffin. Now that is just one great name.
