Book Description
The lonely Texan had fought on the losing side in the Civil War. His father and brother had been killed, and his home had been burned to the ground. All that remained was the neglected land and the half-wild cattle. He had friends who joined him in a desperate scheme to drive Texas cattle over the hundreds of miles of perilous Kansas country. Stir Up the Dust is the whiplash story of that cattle drive – and the opening of the Abilene Trail. William Colt MacDonald was an author of nearly seventy Western novels, and many short stories. Between the years of 1932 and 1945, dozens of films were based on MacDonald’s Western fiction -- many of them starring popular Hollywood cowboy actor Tim McCoy.

Early American Proverbs and Proverbial Phrases
Author: Bartlett Jere Whiting
Publisher: Harvard University Press
ISBN: 9780674219816
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 626
Book Description
p.B. J. Whiting savors proverbial expressions and has devoted much of his lifetime to studying and collecting them; no one knows more about British and American proverbs than he. The present volume, based upon writings in British North America from the earliest settlements to approximately 1820, complements his and Archer Taylor's Dictionary of American Proverbs and Proverbial Phrases, 1820-1880. It differs from that work and from other standard collections, however, in that its sources are primarily not "literary" but instead workaday writings - letters, diaries, histories, travel books, political pamphlets, and the like. The authors represent a wide cross-section of the populace, from scholars and statesmen to farmers, shopkeepers, sailors, and hunters. Mr. Whiting has combed all the obvious sources and hundreds of out-of-the-way publications of local journals and historical societies. This body of material, "because it covers territory that has not been extracted and compiled in a scholarly way before, can justly be said to be the most valuable of all those that Whiting has brought together," according to Albert B. Friedman. "What makes the work important is Whiting's authority: a proverb or proverbial phrase is what BJW thinks is a proverb or proverbial phrase. There is no objective operative definition of any value, no divining rod; his tact, 'feel, ' experience, determine what's the real thing and what is spurious."
