SPUR AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR ROD MILLER When Jonathon “Pinebox” Collins loses his right foot and lower leg to a cannonball in his first Civil War battle, the course of his life is forever changed. While recuperating, he learns The Dismal Trade of undertaking, the emerging art of arterial embalming, and coffin construction. His first customer is the victim of Wild Bill Hickok’s first showdown, and Collins crosses paths with the legendary gunfighter—and occasionally his victims—across the Old West. Lost love, monotony, and violence at the hands of men and Mother Nature repeatedly put the young undertaker on the road in pursuit of new places and new opportunities across the Western frontier. Violence is always there to greet him and there is never a shortage of clientele. Old West legends Phil Coe, John Wesley Hardin, Jim Levy, Porter Rockwell, Colorado Charley Utter, and Calamity Jane come and go in the life of Pinebox Collins, but death is ever-present. Often avoided and sometimes shunned owing to his practice of The Dismal Trade, Pinebox Collins learns to drink alone. Love eludes him and friends are hard to come by. His recurring acquaintance with Wild Bill proves the most lasting, even after Hickok is in the ground.

Slow Motion
Author: Dani Shapiro
Publisher: Random House
ISBN: 030782800X
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 255
Book Description
From one of the most gifted writers of her generation comes the harrowing and exquisitely written true story of how a family tragedy saved her life. Dani Shapiro was a young girl from a deeply religious home who became the girlfriend of a famous and flamboyant married attorney—her best friend's stepfather. The moment Lenny Klein entered her life, everything changed: she dropped out of college, began to drink heavily, and became estranged from her family and friends. But then the phone call came. There had been an accident on a snowy road near her family's home in New Jersey, and both her parents lay hospitalized in critical condition. This haunting memoir traces her journey back into the world she had left behind. At a time when she was barely able to take care of herself, she was faced with the terrifying task of taking care of two people who needed her desperately. Dani Shapiro charts a riveting emotional course as she retraces her isolated, overprotected Orthodox Jewish childhood in an anti-Semitic suburb, and draws the connections between that childhood and her inevitable rebellion and self-destructiveness. She tells of a life nearly ruined by the gift of beauty, and then saved by the worst thing imaginable. This is a beautiful and unforgettable memoir of a life utterly transformed by tragedy.
