Samuel Chamberlain's My Confession is a quintessential American tale of a young man's unbridled escapades across the vastness of the Western Frontier. From humble beginnings in Boston, Chamberlain journeyed to Texas to fight in the Mexican-American War and eventually fell in with the notorious Glanton Gang, a brutal group of scalp-hunters immortalized in Cormac McCarthy's Western masterpiece Blood Meridian.

Within this audiobook, Chamberlain leaves no stone unturned, providing an immersive account of the Mexican War, the unyielding men who fought in it, and a sobering portrait of the lawlessness of the American frontier.

These first hand accounts paint a much more detailed and interesting portrait of life during the time than you get from the selected excerpts of historians or the narrative spin of a documentary. Always worth a listen.

This epic account brings to the fore many questions of man’s nature, and just as subtly gives its answers. It is darkly humorous, having me laugh from the gut and again laugh in nervous incredulity at the inhumanity of man. The narration captures the tone well, but the reading suffers from repeated mispronunciations.

Brutal, epic, and darkly humorous

I have to wonder why the book ended so suddenly. Did he ever get to avenge his wife and murder the man who took her? I have so many questions

Even if the protagonist is ultimately a ne’er-do-well 👍 the only problem is minimum word counts for reviews.

Such a great work of art*

Go to the last hour of the audio book to learn about the inspiration for Blood Meridian.

Narrator was great, though I wish he had learned to correctly pronounce Spanish.

This narrator mispronounced so many words. For just one example, he pronounces "galant" as if he is describing a Mitsubishi. He also sounds like a teenager with none of the character of the author.
