Looking for books like the show 1888, 1923, or American Primeval. I guess like taming the West.

This. When I saw the American Primeval trailer, I at first thought it was the trailer for Empire of the Summer Moon (which supposedly has a movie coming soon). Exactly the level of grimdark I get from that book.

Cormac McCarthy books would be another option. Lonesome Dove as well.

The Lonesome Dove series.

Read in the order of the story line.

Centennial by Michener is a great account of the west.

Kit Carson was a bad mother fricker. Those guys were so tough.
