Book Description
Heading to Key West to visit his old friend Ben, P.I. Jackson Douglas anticipates some much-needed R&R. But when Ben is nowhere to be found, legends of a centuries-old pirate treasure surface, and a dead body washes onshore, Jackson dives into an investigation that could change his life forever. Aided by a mysterious and beautiful Southern belle named Sawyer, Jackson works to find not only Ben but also the truth-and possibly a million-dollar treasure. Their search leads them to the bayous and plantations of Louisiana, the beaches and cays of the Bahamas, and to secrets buried beneath the sands of time. Facing danger and deception at every turn, can Jackson and Sawyer uncover the truth before it's too late? Will digging too deep expose them to an enemy with the resources and resolve to bury them? And when lives and fortunes are at stake, can they trust themselves to make the right crucial decisions?

Gold-Mining Boomtown
Author: Roberta Key Haldane
Publisher: University of Oklahoma Press
ISBN: 0806188308
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 346
Book Description
The town of White Oaks, New Mexico Territory, was born in 1879 when prospectors discovered gold at nearby Baxter Mountain. In Gold-Mining Boomtown, Roberta Key Haldane offers an intimate portrait of the southeastern New Mexico community by profiling more than forty families and individuals who made their homes there during its heyday. Today, fewer than a hundred people live in White Oaks. Its frontier incarnation, located a scant twenty-eight miles from the notorious Lincoln, is remembered largely because of its association with famous westerners. Billy the Kid and his gang were familiar visitors to the town. When a popular deputy was gunned down in 1880, the citizens resolved to rid their community of outlaws. Pat Garrett, running for sheriff of Lincoln County, was soon campaigning in White Oaks. But there was more to the town than gold mining and frontier violence. In addition to outlaws, lawmen, and miners, Haldane introduces readers to ranchers, doctors, saloonkeepers, and stagecoach owners. José Aguayo, a lawyer from an old Spanish family, defended Billy the Kid, survived the Lincoln County War, and moved to the White Oaks vicinity in 1890, where his family became famous for the goat cheese they sold to the town’s elite. Readers also meet a New England sea captain and his wife (a Samoan princess, no less), a black entrepreneur, Chinese miners, the “Cattle Queen of New Mexico,” and an undertaker with an international criminal past. The White Oaks that Haldane uncovers—and depicts with lively prose and more than 250 photographs—is a microcosm of the Old West in its diversity and evolution from mining camp to thriving burg to the near–ghost town it is today. Anyone interested in the history of the Southwest will enjoy this richly detailed account.

Conquered England
Author: George Garnett
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 019820793X
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 420
Book Description
George Garnett shows the power of an idea - William the Conqueror's claim to succeed Edward the Confessor on the throne of England in 1066 - to shape the practice of Royal succession and the structure of aristocratic land tenure in post-Conquest England. In terms of the king's novel powers over the tenure of land, it created a kingdom which was unique in medieval Europe, with profound political consequences, and which shaped a whole society.
