Book Description
Bill Carlisle was the last of the Old West’s real outlaws. But, unlike many of the other famous characters of the early days, Bill was not the gunfighter type. Bill never shot or injured anyone in his hold-ups; further, he never robbed a woman passenger. He had, like most old-time cowboys, a wholesome respect for women—all women. This story of his life reads like the dime-novel fiction of an earlier day, but every incident of his daring and gripping exploits is a matter of record throughout Wyoming and all Western states.

Good Medicine For the Bow
Author: Marvin Cronberg
Publisher: FriesenPress
ISBN: 1460244907
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 334
Book Description
It was not easy to establish and maintain a frontier community. Aside from the harassment from the native americans, there were the usual petty jealousies and worse, a total lack of law enforcement. Fortunately there were individuals whose leadership would overcome the desire for personal gain and supplant the community effort. These were people who wanted something more and sacrificed to make it happen. But this book is not about people, it is about dedication. It is about a process that includes men and women who want to be a part of something greater than themselves. This is a process that is uncommon today, but was common in frontier Wyoming....

The Old Iron Road
Author: David Haward Bain
Publisher: U of Nebraska Press
ISBN: 1496235177
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 469
Book Description
In the summer of 2000 David Haward Bain and his family left their home in Vermont and headed west in search of America’s past. Spiritually, their journey began on a Kansas trail where the author’s grandmother was born in a covered wagon in 1889. Between the Missouri River and the Golden Gate, they retraced the entire route of the first transcontinental railroad and large stretches of the Oregon and California trails, and the equally colorful old Lincoln Highway. Following vanished iron rails and wagon wheel ruts, bumping down backroads and main streets, they discovered the deep, restless, uniquely American spirit of adventure that connects our past to our present. A superb writer and an exacting researcher, Bain conjures up a marvelous sense of coming unstuck in time as he lingers in the ghost towns and battlegrounds, prairies and river ports, trainyards, museums, deserts, and diners that line his cruise west to California. Bain encounters a fascinating cast of characters, both historic and contemporary, as well as memories of his grandparents and the journeys that shaped his own heritage. Writing in the tradition of William Least Heat-Moon and Ian Frazier, and with an engaging warmth and a deep grasp of history all his own, Bain has fashioned a quintessentially American journey.
