Released from Yuma prison after serving five years for a crime he didn't commit, Jubal Brand travels to a remote ghost town in the Arizona desert hoping to uncover a trunk of Confederate gold. Jubal was told by a dying outlaw in prison where the gold was hidden. Jubal wants that gold as a reward for serving time with robbers who refused to clear his name. But he soon learns that escaped murderer Edward Cobb is also searching for the gold, along with Lani St. Claire, a beautiful but mysterious dove. With a dangerous Apache on the loose, and with enigmatic U. S. Marshal Maxfield Knight tracking Cobb, Brand fears that he won't live long enough to spend any of that gold.

After the Grizzly
Author: Peter S. Alagona
Publisher: Univ of California Press
ISBN: 0520355547
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 332
Book Description
This book traces the history of threats to species and habitat in California, from the time of the Gold Rush to the present. The author shows how, over the course of more than a century, scientists and conservationists came to view the fates of endangered species as dependent on the ecological conditions and human activities in the places where those species lived. The story begins with the tale of the state's extinct mascot, the California grizzly, and the conservation movements and laws that followed its disappearance. The second half of the book focuses on four high-profile endangered species: the California condor, the desert tortoise, the San Joaquin kit fox, and the Delta smelt. The author offers an account of how Americans developed a civil system in which imperiled species serve as proxies for broader conflicts about the politics of place. The book concludes that the challenge for conservationists in the twenty-first century will be to expand habitat conservation beyond protected wildlands to build more diverse and sustainable landscapes.

California Grizzly

ISBN: 9780520205208
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 406
Book Description
The California Bear Flag and the University of California football team the Golden Bears emblemize the great animal that has been extinct in California since the 1920s but once numbered perhaps as many as ten thousand in the state. Forty years after its original publication, University of California Press proudly reissues California Grizzly, still the most comprehensive book on the bear's history in California. The lessons of the book resonate today as the issues of protection of wildlife habitat versus unfettered development of land for human use are debated with increasing urgency.
