520    "From the creator of the "Legends of the Old West" podcast,
       a book exploring the overlapping narratives of the biggest
       legends in frontier mythology. The summer of 1876 was a 
       key time period in the development of the mythology of the
       Old West. Many individuals who are considered legends by 
       modern readers were involved in events that began their 
       notoriety or turned out to be the most famous - or 
       infamous - moments of their lives. Those individuals were 
       Lieutenant Colonel George Armstrong Custer, Sitting Bull, 
       Crazy Horse, Wyatt Earp, Bat Masterson, Wild Bill Hickok, 
       and Jesse James. The Summer of 1876 weaves together the 
       timelines of the events that made these men legends to 
       demonstrate the overlapping context of their stories and 
       to illustrate the historical importance of that summer, 
       all layered with highlights of significant milestones in 
       1876: the inaugural baseball season of the National 
       League; the final year of President Ulysses S. Grant's 
       embattled administration; the debut of an invention called
       the telephone by Alexander Graham Bell; the release of 
       Mark Twain's novel "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer;" and 
       many more. Contextualizing these events against the 
       backdrop of the massive 100th anniversary party thrown to 
       celebrate the signing of the Declaration of Independence, 
       The Summer of 1876 is the ultimate exploration and 
       celebration of the summer that defined the West"--
