Helpful Score: 1
McMurtry's tongue-in-cheek biography of a spirited young woman in the wild west tries hard but really doesn't ever get off the ground. His heroine, Nellie Courtright, flirts (and sometimes more) with virtually every historic character from General George Custer to Louis B. Mayer, witnesses the Gunfight at the OK Corral, manages Buffalo Bill's Wild West show, and otherwise Zeligs herself through the 19th century but really never engages the reader's emotions.
