Book Description
This is the first story about Loco Dog, short for Locomotive. He lived in a small, dusty Southwestern town in the depot with the rail yard yardman. The rail yard was always gritty, and sometimes dust devils swirled through it. One wild and windy spring evening, a huge, powerful dust devil forever changed the lives of a young boy and everyone who loved the rail yard and its big black dog. This beloved title is now re-issued in an expanded version, with an added 16-page history section about the railroads that came into the Santa Fe Rail Yard, past and present. The history section will include historical black and white photographs as well as contemporary color ones showing the current railroads operating out of the rail yard.

Book Description
Named a Best Book of the Year by the Seattle Times and Kirkus Review The final novel from a great American storyteller. Donal Cameron is being raised by his grandmother, the cook at the legendary Double W ranch in Ivan Doig’s beloved Two Medicine Country of the Montana Rockies, a landscape that gives full rein to an eleven-year-old’s imagination. But when Gram has to have surgery for “female trouble” in the summer of 1951, all she can think to do is to ship Donal off to her sister in faraway Manitowoc, Wisconsin. There Donal is in for a rude surprise: Aunt Kate–bossy, opinionated, argumentative, and tyrannical—is nothing like her sister. She henpecks her good-natured husband, Herman the German, and Donal can’t seem to get on her good side either. After one contretemps too many, Kate packs him back to the authorities in Montana on the next Greyhound. But as it turns out, Donal isn’t traveling solo: Herman the German has decided to fly the coop with him. In the immortal American tradition, the pair light out for the territory together, meeting a classic Doigian ensemble of characters and having rollicking misadventures along the way. Charming, wise, and slyly funny, Last Bus to Wisdom is a last sweet gift from a writer whose books have bestowed untold pleasure on countless readers.
