His narrative examines both the triumphs and tragedies that shaped the West and the nation as a whole.

He currently serves as the Tate Chair of Western History and interim Curator of the Buffalo Bill Museum at the Buffalo Bill Center of the West in Cody, Wyoming, and is a distinguished professor of history emeritus at the University of New Mexico.
