Hi all, looking for some suggestions that feature the American West. They can be nonfiction or fiction, but I’m hoping for books that capture the great expanse and wildness of the land out there.
(P.S. I’ve already read McCarthy and Krakauer.)

Blood Meridian vibes
Charles Bowden is my favorite. Try Blue Desert, Mezcal, Frog Mountain Blues
Lonesome dove
The Undiscovered Country: Triumph, Tragedy, and the Shaping of the American West
The Virginian by Owen Wister
James carlos blake has some real good ones
Butcher’s Crossing if you liked Blood Meridian. Blood Meridian if you liked All the Pretty Horses and want something depressing and violent.
