I do not know if it is on kindle as I do not have a device, but again I cannot let this book get by without a mention.
“The Evolution of a State" by Noah Smithwick.

If you read no other book on the 1830-1860 time period of the area, this is THE book to read. That os if you want first hand experiences and events from one who was right in the thick of it.

"Come, shall we go and kill us venison?
And yet it irks me the poor dappled fools,
Being native burghers of this desert city,
Should in their own confines with forked heads
Have their round haunches gored."
