Book Description
Discover the beloved third and fourth books in the classic Whitehorse, Montana: Chisholm Cattle Company series by New York Times bestselling author B.J. Daniels, which were originally published by Harlequin Intrigue in 2011! RUSTLED At his remote mountain retreat, Dawson Chisholm’s peace is shattered by rustlers. To his surprise, the one he captures turns out to be a woman—and not just any woman, but a beautiful firebrand nicknamed “Jinx.” Although she swears she’s an undercover investigator, she has no proof…and Dawson has no other choice but to hold her close. Brittany Bo “Jinx” Clarke is determined to bring down the leader of the ring. Dawson wants to retrieve his stolen cattle. To get what they both want, they’ll have to work together. But spending their days and nights alone—just the two of them against a band of thieves—presents another problem: resisting the irresistible Chisholm charm. And she’s not sure she wants to.… STAMPEDED Alexa Cross has spent a lifetime outrunning the “curse” of her bloodline.

But the closer they get, the more mysterious she becomes. And if they stand a chance of uniting to unlock a killer’s secrets, Marshall will have to first unlock Alexa’s…

Cattle Country & Back Trail
Author: Erwin A Thompson
Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 0595402283
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 278
Book Description
This is from the author's note for Cattle Country-the first novelette of the three. There are many things here that can be found in nearly any Western; for it is not a calm book. But I hope you will feel: The courage of John Wade as he tries to fill a job that he knows is far too big for him; The strain of the decision Wells has to make of whether to get out of town safely himself or help the sheriff who will probably arrest him when the shooting is over; The sting of Wade's words as he tells Jim Halleran, "I'd like to think you were still a man I could be proud to know;" The frustration of Katherine Wade as she stamps her foot on the floor of the sheriff's office and says, "Damn Cowards;" The bigness of Henry Ashburn as he gives Bob Darlington a hand in a fight that does not concern him at all. This is Cattle Country! "I grew up in times and places much like Erwin Thompson paints in Cattle Country, Back Trail, and The Invincible Three. Although those times are gone, Thompson's well-written voice rings true with the memory and flavor of a world that should not be lost." -Jim Lyle, author of Things Seen in the Dessert

The Life and Adventures of Nat Love
Author: Nat Love
Publisher: Black Classic Press
ISBN: 9780933121171
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 190
Book Description
Thousands of black cowpunchers drove cattle up the Chisholm Trail after the Civil War, but only Nat Love wrote about his experiences. Born to slaves in Davidson County, Tennessee, the newly freed Love struck out for Kansas after the war. He was fifteen and already endowed with a reckless and romantic readiness. In wide-open Dodge City he joined up with an outfit from the Texas Panhandle to begin a career riding the range and fighting Indians, outlaws, and the elements. Years later he would say, "I had an unusually adventurous life". That was rare understatement. More characteristic was Love's claim: "I carry the marks of fourteen bullet wounds on different parts of my body, most any one of which would be sufficient to kill an ordinary man, but I am not even crippled". In 1876 a virtuoso rodeo performance in Deadwood, Dakota Territory, won him the moniker of Deadwood Dick. He became known as DD all over the West, entering into dime novels as a mysteriously dark and heroic presence. This vivid autobiography includes encounters with Bat Masterson and Billy the Kid, a soon-after view of the Custer battlefield, and a successful courtship. Love left the range in 1890, the year of the official closing of the frontier. Then, as a Pullman train conductor he traveled his old trails, and those good times bring his story to a satisfying end.

Author: Andy Adams
Publisher: University of Texas Press
ISBN: 0292792360
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 329
Book Description
This sparkling collection of tales told around Western campfires, written by the master chronicler of the range, is a literary find of great interest and genuine importance. Andy Adams is remembered chiefly as the author of The Log of a Cowboy. Among the most charming features of the Log are the stories the cowhands told around the fires at night when the day's work was done. Similar and equally delightful stories are scattered throughout several other less successful novels, long out of print, while others that never saw publication were found by the editor among Adams' papers. In the present book, Wilson M. Hudson has gathered together these tales of the trail and camp into one volume that surely will delight the hearts of all readers who are interested in the old West.

Cattle Country of Peter French

Pages : 178
Book Description
Into the valley of Donner and Blitzen, almost a century ago, rode Peter French with 1,200 head of California cattle. John Devine of White Horse Ranch was already in the Harney country of Southeast Oregon, but the Blitzen was left for Peter. This is the story of how the great stockmen of the late 1800s set a pattern for modern cow ranches, improving the land and cattle by the best scientific methods available. Peter French himself irrigated thousands of acres of sageland with his canals and ditches. Hard-driving and ambitious, French, in a few years, won control of 200,000 acres of range land, and thousands of head of cattle.

Words for Country
Author: Tim Bonyhady
Publisher: UNSW Press
ISBN: 9780868406282
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 268
Book Description
Stories and phrases can powerfully shape the ways we experience and manage our environment. What languages have been used to characterise Australian landscapes and how have they influenced the way we see and treat our environment? How do stories take root in particular places? How do we find the right words for those parts of the country that matter to us? "Words for Country" answers these questions while exploring the inter-relationship between Australia's landscape and language. Tim Bonyhady and Tom Griffiths have brought together a collection of essays whose subjects range from the Ord River in the far north-west to Antarctica in the south, from the centre to the coast, the prehistoric to the present. Their terrain is environmental and cultural, political and poetic. Words for Country reveals not just how language grows out of the landscape but how words and stories shape the places in which we live.
