Book Description
Thirteen year old Andy Yoakum is worried about the break-up of his family due to drought conditions on the North Texas farm. His mother has already gone back to her East Texas mother's home and vows to go California with her brother if Andy's pa does not sellout and join her. His pa, caught between trying to salvage the farm and giving up to go with her, takes to drink. Andy searches for a way to hold his family together. When his pa finally sells most of the farm and prepares to leave for California with his mother, Andy agrees to stay behind. He is to be watched over by a neighbor who gives him ajob and promises to see that he is fed. Before his father leaves, a stray dog shows up to gather scraps at the back door and Andy asks to keep him. "He is a wild dog from the river," his father says." "He can't be tamed." The dog, Andy discovers, has a job also. Andy follows him on his next visit to the house and finds that the dog is caring for an old man, an ex-Texas Ranger, living in a dugout on the river. The three ofthem--Ranger, dog (named Roamer), and Andy become fast friends. Tragedy strikes but Andy sees it through with Roamer's help. When his family returns, Andy is told that he may keep Roamer, but no one expects Roamer to be entirely a home bound dog. A Roamer is a roamer--especially is he is a Red River Roamer.

Captain W. W. Withenbury's 1838-1842 "Red River Reminiscences"
Author: Jacques D. Bagur
Publisher: University of North Texas Press
ISBN: 1574415476
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 337
Book Description
W. W. Withenbury was a famous river boat captain during the mid-1800s. In retirement, he wrote a series of letters for the Cincinnati Commercial, under the title "Red River Reminiscences." Jacques Bagur has selected and annotated 39 letters describing three steamboat voyages on the upper Red River from 1838 to 1842. Withenbury was a master of character and incident, and his profiles of persons, including three signers of the Texas Declaration of Independence, reflect years of acquaintance. The beauty of his writing ranks this among the best of the reminiscences that were written as the steamboat era was declining. “Bagur is an expert on the Red River in the nineteenth century, and it shows in this work. Informative and entertaining.” —Randolph B. "Mike" Campbell, author of Gone to Texas: A History of the Lone Star State “This will rank as a great assistance to researchers if anyone wants to attack history of the Red River again. Some of his in-depth research was fabulous.”—Skipper Steely, author of Red River Pioneers
