According to Kate by Chris Enss - Bookin' It With Jen

According to Kate is the story of Big-Nose Kate from her perspective. Because of that it contradicts many accounts of her given by people like Wyatt Earp and "known" history. 

This book was a pretty interesting overview of her life with and without her famous love Doc Holliday. She led a remarkable life, and was so much more than popular history gives her credit for. The only issue I have with this book is that it is written in a seemingly non-linear timeline so the author will mention something in one portion of the book that has yet to happen and then again later when it does, so it can be a little confusing when it comes to particulars of who/what/when and where things actually occurred. Still it was an enjoyable and quick delve into a woman that history loves to hate on.

Thanks to Netgalley and the Publisher for providing me with a copy of this book to review. All opinions are my own.
