Bookstove has a list of Five Good Books About Genre Writing by Actual Authors, which includes The Writer’s Guide to Everyday Life in the Wild West: From 1840-1900 by Candy Moulton.

MUST GET THIS BOOK TO WRITE MORE REALISTIC 3:10 TO YUMA PORN.

Next time I have an Amazon gift certificate, I'm getting the hell outta that book.

I did a fair amount of research for TTBtM, which takes place around the same time period as Yuma, last year and then a little more when I started work on the second draft. Medical care and fashion were my main topics of study, since my main characters are most interested in those subjects. I think I avoided any major anachronisms or snafus in general; we'll see what my writers group has to say.

Here's another interesting link about writing: Villains vs. antagonists by Marie Brennan.
