Bill Pickett: Bulldogger

Customer Reviews

pleased again

I was once again pleased with my purchase of a used-in good condition book and very happy with the service and the product. Bill Pickett was a very interesting man.

Bill Pickett, A Real American Hero

This is a great book about a great man. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to learn about American history, the story is not only about Bill Pickett. It's about America as well, and other legends such as Will Rogers, Tom Mix and others.
