Orejana Outfit
Author: Kathy McCraine
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781532343742
Category : Cowboys
Languages : en
Pages : 127
Book Description
"To Arizona cowpunchers the Spanish word orejana refers to an ownerless, unbranded bovine old enough to quit its mother, in other words a maverick. Somehow that word evokes images of the legendary O RO Ranch north of Prescott, Arizona. This rough and remote, 257,000-acre ranch is as wild as the elusive orejanas that brush up in its precipitous canyons, evading the rope and all semblance of modern civilization. Once a Spanish Land Grant, this outfit has a tangible mystique about it that everyone who ever worked or lived here feels. Journalist and photographer Kathy McCraine is one of very few people ever allowed to photograph on this iconic ranch, which is locked to the public. From 1993 to 2013 she made numerous trips to the headquarters and to the remote areas on the ranch where the roundup wagon camped. Her unstaged photos depict the everyday lives of some of the last of the real, big outfit cowboys, at work catching horses out of the remuda, dragging calves to the fire for branding, and breaking broncs." --

ISBN: 1429932988
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 388
Book Description
Armed with only a Colt rifle, a Bowie knife, and courage as big as the West, Ten Chisholm—the bold, illegitimate son of frontier scout and plains ambassador Jesse Chisholm and a Cherokee woman—arrives in the heart of Comanche country with a price on his head. His only crime: loving the beautiful daughter of a powerful New Orleans gambler who has promised her to a wealthy man she hates. Now that Ten has returned to the harsh Texas brakes with a team of battle-toughened cowboys and ex-soldiers—and a vow to return to Priscilla and make her his wife—he must round up wild longhorns, ward off angry Comanches, and survive treacherous outlaw attacks as he crosses the Red River and sets off on a brazen quest to open a new trail to Kansas on the savage frontier.
