Book excerpt: Rocking horses, wild horses, fishing boats, hot boats, cars, trucks, cycles, and planes-Robert Buenger has been involuntarily launched by them all. And he seldom, if ever, pulled over for an ambulance. He was generally riding inside. For some reason, if a rock fell off a cliff and hit someone, it was Buenger. If someone ran into the back of a semitruck or had a fireworks display blow up in his face, it was Buenger. If a guy broke his wrist riding a longhorn steer on the last cattle drive to St. Louis-that was Buenger too. A spirited quest for adventure brought on a goodly share of these exploits. AN OLD KID FROM WYOMING chronicles the often extraordinary events in the lifetime of a homesteader's grandson and the critters and all-too-human personalities along the trail-some historical, some hysterical, a few sad, all true (or mostly true). Here are stories of growing up, hunting, fishing, building, cowboying, and adventuring in the Rocky Mountain West, from Cheyenne to Las Vegas and back again. In the tradition of James Herriot and Ben K. Green, AN OLD KID FROM WYOMING serves up stories to be savored one at a time or all at once-stories for everyone interested in the era of the "Greatest Generation" from the perspective of a life lived in another little house on the prairie.

But that's something he doesn't get from Joy Fuller—she doesn't seem very interested in him at all. And he and Joy seem to argue constantly. Despite their constant arguing, his sister, Letty, thinks he's interested in Joy…and Lonny figures she might be right! Can he convince Joy that marriage to the Wyoming Kid will be as exciting as an eight-second bull ride and as sweet as the cookies she likes to bake?

In New Stories from an Old Kid from Wyoming-the second book capturing the essence of Buenger's life in Wyoming, the Cowboy State-he draws his tales from the hundreds of folks he has hired, fired, met, and befriended From contractors and construction folk to cowboys and wannabe cowboys, they had among them a wide variety of traits, social flaws, and, for some, a bristling cowboy rectitude. Showcasing crazy characters, interesting people, animals, and other situations, Buenger recalls true events from his past. Often outrageous, and always entertaining, New Stories from an Old Kid from Wyoming provides a glimpse into special times and places he experienced as a businessman, father, husband, friend, and volunteer.

Book excerpt: This is a book for readers with a Western mindset, those who live in the West, or once lived in the West, or wish to hell they were living in the West right now. It was written by an octogenarian who's forgotten almost everything from the 1940s and 1950s except many story-worthy moments and events. Those he remembers whole--their imagery, emotions, humor, tactility, the gist of their conversations. When he was growing up in Wyoming the adults were not the homesteaders but those who had been raised on homesteads. Not the immigrants but those whose families spoke a different language at home. They showered and flushed toilets, but they remembered outhouses at forty below and weekly baths in a zinc tub in front of a wood stove. This book is a collection of memoirs. But it is not, as many memoirs are, an autobiography. The author is a raconteur, a teller of stories. His first person accounts are not the story of his life but stories from his life. A boy and young man growing up in small-town Wyoming seven decades ago could try out adult roles, could face challenges and risks now mostly withheld from the young. He could enjoy successes (and endure failures). If he was fated to grow up to be a raconteur, he could also collect good story material along the way. Eighty-five memories and a dozen family photos illuminate how people experienced Wyoming seven decades ago. Each story captures a moment. It begins with a grab and ends with a revelation, often a chuckle too; or sometimes a reminder that life in the old West could be hard.

Book excerpt: A Kirkus Best Fiction of 2019 Pick! A cross between Daniel Woodrell and Annie Proulx, Wyoming is about the stubborn grip of inertia and whether or not it is possible to live without accepting oneself. It’s 1988 and Shelley Cooper is in trouble. He’s broke, he’s been fired from his construction job, and his ex-wife has left him for their next door neighbor and a new life in Kansas City. The only opportunity on his horizon is fifty pounds of his brother’s high-grade marijuana, which needs to be driven from Colorado to Houston and exchanged for a lockbox full of cash. The delivery goes off without a hitch, but getting home with the money proves to be a different challenge altogether. Fueled by a grab bag of resentments and self punishment, Shelley becomes a case study in the question of whether it’s possible to live without accepting yourself, and the dope money is the key to a lock he might never find. JP Gritton’s portrait of a hapless aspirant at odds with himself and everyone around him is both tender and ruthless, and Wyoming considers the possibility of redemption in a world that grants forgiveness grudgingly, if at all.

Book excerpt: It's 1941 and ten-year-old Norman Mineta is a carefree fourth grader in San Jose, California, who loves baseball, hot dogs, and Cub Scouts. But when Japanese forces attack Pearl Harbor, Norm's world is turned upside down. Corecipient of The Flora Stieglitz Straus Award A Horn Book Best Book of the Year One by one, things that he and his Japanese American family took for granted are taken away. In a matter of months they, along with everyone else of Japanese ancestry living on the West Coast, are forced by the government to move to internment camps, leaving everything they have known behind. At the Heart Mountain internment camp in Wyoming, Norm and his family live in one room in a tar paper barracks with no running water. There are lines for the communal bathroom, lines for the mess hall, and they live behind barbed wire and under the scrutiny of armed guards in watchtowers. Meticulously researched and informed by extensive interviews with Mineta himself, Enemy Child sheds light on a little-known subject of American history. Andrea Warren covers the history of early Asian immigration to the United States and provides historical context on the U.S. government's decision to imprison Japanese Americans alongside a deeply personal account of the sobering effects of that policy. Warren takes readers from sunny California to an isolated wartime prison camp and finally to the halls of Congress to tell the true story of a boy who rose from "enemy child" to a distinguished American statesman. Mineta was the first Asian mayor of a major city (San Jose) and was elected ten times to serve in the U.S. House of Representatives, where he worked tirelessly to pass legislation, including the Civil Liberties Act of 1988. He also served as Secretary of Commerce and Secretary of Transportation. He has had requests by other authors to write his biography, but this is the first time he has said yes because he wanted young readers to know the story of America's internment camps. Enemy Child includes more than ninety photos, many provided by Norm himself, chronicling his family history and his life. Extensive backmatter includes an Afterword, bibliography, research notes, and multimedia recommendations for further information on this important topic. A California Reading Association Eureka!

Book excerpt: Rancher Lonny Ellison has never known a woman like Joy Fuller. For one thing, she doesn't seem very interested in him, and as a former rodeo cowboy, Lonny's not used to that. Women mobbed the Wyoming Kid during his rodeo days! And another thing. He and Joy — who's a schoolteacher and his sister Letty's best friend — seem to argue constantly. But it doesn't matter, does it? Because he's not interested in Joy, either. Wait a minute. Maybe he is. At least, that's what Letty seems to think their arguments are all about. Yup, she might have a point there. Now he has to convince Joy that marriage to the Wyoming Kid will be as exciting as an eight-second bull ride and as sweet as the cookies she loves to bake.

Kansas Charleyvividly brings to life a thought-provoking chapter in American history and in the history of the juvenile justice system, shedding light on our contemporary predicament and encouraging us to think about what it means to continue to uphold the juvenile death penalty in the twenty-first century.

This book was released on 2016-06-03 with total page 409 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of fifty outlaw tales includes well-knowns such as Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Frank and Jesse James, Belle Starr (and her dad), and Pancho Villa, along with a fair smattering of women, organized crime bosses, smugglers, and of course the usual suspects: highwaymen, bank and train robbers, cattle rustlers, snake-oil salesmen, and horse thieves. Men like Henry Brown and Burt Alvord worked on both sides of the law either at different times of their lives or simultaneously. Clever shyster Soapy Smith and murderer Martin Couk survived by their wits, while the outlaw careers of the dimwitted DeAutremont brothers and bigmouthed Diamondfield Jack were severely limited by their intellect, or lack thereof. Nearly everyone in these pages was motivated by greed, revenge, or a lethal mixture of the two. The most bloodthirsty of the bunch, such as the heartless (and, some might argue, soulless) Annie Cook and trigger-happy Augustine Chacón, surely had evil written into their very DNA.

Buffalo Bill received the Medal of Honor in 1872 for his service in the US Army as a scout. He was one of the most colorful and inspirational people of the America s Old West; and he became famous for the many wild west shows he organized and in which he performed for over thirty years. He toured Great Britain, Europe and the United States, and in the town of Cody (named after him) he built the famous Irma Hotel, where you can go and stay when you visit the town of Cody on your way to the Yellowstone National Park!
