Book Description
The Duke of Chimney Butte is a western novel by George W. Ogden. Ogden was a prolific author of western novels. He often used to do original research for his books and settings. Excerpt: "Down through the Bad Lands the Little Missouri comes in long windings, white, from a distance, as a frozen river between the ash-gray hills. At its margin there are willows; on the small forelands, which flood in June when the mountain waters are released, cottonwoods grow, leaning toward the southwest like captives straining in their bonds, yearning in their way for the sun and winds of kinder latitudes. Rain comes to that land but seldom in the summer days; in winter the wind sweeps the snow into rocky canons; buttes, with tops leveled by the drift of the old, earth-making days, break the weary repetition of hill beyond hill..."

Languages : en
Pages : 142
Book Description
"He was familiar with that type of man such as Wood had described Hargus as being; he had met some of them in the Bad Lands. There was nothing holy to them in the heavens or the earth. They did not believe there was any such thing as a virtuous woman, and honor was a word they never had heard defined." p79 Jeremiah Lambert was not given the moniker "The Duke Of Chimney Butte"-he earned it. That name and his reputation preceded him, wherever he traveled. In Wyoming he finds himself in the middle of one of the final conflicts of the legendary cowboy era. Texas may have yielded to the encroachment of barbed wife, but the free-range ranchers of Wyoming will die before they do. Jeremiah Lambert, the Duke Of Chimney Butte, has chosen his side, but he wants desperately to believe that he has a special ally on the other. George W. Ogden (1871-1966) grew up during the time when the West was still wild. Though his writing reads as fresh as that of a current storyteller, it speaks to us from those days. He was a master of creating suspenseful and narrative prose. And he was no stranger to humor, especially in the descriptions of his characters. His novels need to be read and shared.
