I haven't seen this book so I can't recommend it one way or the other, but you can get it cheaply through Amazon.com or possibly free from the library:

The Western Story--Fact, Fiction, and Myth
Author: Durham, Philip
Publisher: HBJ College & School Division
Format: Trade Paperback

When I say, "go to the library," I mean, "go ask a librarian." They get these questions all the time and can help you determine what is a good reference material versus one with dubious information. Many libraries do telephone and online reference questions, so you can email or call your nearest library if you can't physically get to the building.
