Media Reviews
Kate Elder believed her story was worth a small fortune, and Chris Enss proves she was right. Chris has won a galaxy of awards for her storytelling and earned every one of them. As one of the most reliable researchers in the trade, she traces Maria Izabella Magdolna from her birth in Hungary in 1850 to her death as Mary Cummings at the Arizona Pioneers’ Home at Prescott only five days shy of her ninetieth birthday. As Chris writes, Kate Elder mostly left historians “only the legend to draw from—and that’s a fact.” -- Will Bagley, bestselling and Wister Award-winning author
Once again, master storyteller Chris Enss has enriched the annals of American history with her blockbuster chronicle of “Big-Nose” Kate Elder, a woman whose life over nearly a century intertwined with such noted Western figures as Doc Holliday and the Earp brothers. From Kate’s birth in Hungary in 1850, through her sometimes risqué exploits across the United States, to her death in Prescott, Arizona, in 1940, Kate Elder led a most interesting life, and Chris Enss reveals it all in this meticulously researched and well-documented biography. -- James A. Crutchfield
In According To Kate, Chris Enss sorts through the facts and the myths surrounding Kate Elder (aka Big Nose Kate) one of the west’s most mysterious figures. Enss constructs a clear and credible time line as Kate and Doc Holliday made their way across the country and into history. This is a must for studies on Kate and Doc Holliday. -- Thomas Cobb, award-winning author of Crazy Heart and Shavetail
Oftentimes in western history, the women have been left behind. Fortunately for that history—and for us—author Chris Enss repeatedly chips away at stone, delivering one passionate account after another of the West’s women. In her latest work, According to Kate, Enss provides a picture of Kate Elder’s life, including her decades after Doc Holliday and the Gunfight at the OK Corral, as she continued to make her own way on her own terms in the bawdy West. -- Deborah Morgan, award-winning author in both the western and mystery fields
