Book Synopsis Beckoning Frontiers by : George W. T. Beck
Download or read book Beckoning Frontiers written by George W. T. Beck and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2020-06-01 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: George W. T. Beck, an influential rancher and entrepreneur in the American West, collaborated with William F. "Buffalo Bill" Cody to establish the town of Cody, Wyoming, in the 1890s. He advanced his financial investments in Wyoming through his numerous personal and professional contacts with various eastern investors and politicians in Washington DC. Beck's family--his father a Kentucky senator and his mother a grandniece of George Washington--and his adventures in the American West resulted in personal associates who ranged from western legends Buffalo Bill, Jesse James, and Calamity Jane to wealthy American elites such as George and Phoebe Hearst and Theodore Roosevelt. This definitive edition of Beck's memoir provides a glimpse of early life in Wyoming, offering readers a rare perspective on how community boosters cooperated with political leaders and wealthy financiers. Beck's memoir, introduced and annotated by Lynn J. Houze and Jeremy M. Johnston, offers a unique and sometimes amusing view of financial dealings in eastern boardrooms, as well as stories of Beck's adventures with Buffalo Bill in Wyoming. Beck's memoir demonstrates not only his interest in developing the West but also his humor and his willingness to collaborate with a variety of people.

Book Synopsis The Rivers and Bayous of Louisiana by : Edwin Adams Davis
Download or read book The Rivers and Bayous of Louisiana written by Edwin Adams Davis and published by Pelican Publishing. This book was released on 1999-12-31 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Long ago, someone wrote that the rivers and bayous were the great architects of Louisiana. Certainly the statement has major elements of truth; for the waterways, which today total almost as many miles as there are miles of highways, have in eons past aided in shaping the face of the Land of Louis, and in historic times have determined many of the patterns of the State's development. To the Indians these rivers and bayous offered sites for villages and places to fish and were roads of easy travel. To Spanish explorers they were hindrances to movement, hazards to be crossed. To French pioneers they offered locations for settlement and were highways for coureurs de bois , trappers, Indian traders and voyagers of commerce. To the British and Americans they were international boundaries and were barriers to be forded or ferried or bridged in the development of farmland and timberland and other natural resources. Throughout the years, they were determining factors in international diplomacy and played major roles in the rise of economic empires. And all of the men who traveled these streams developed a strong desire to possess and to live upon the lands through which they passed. . . . Here then, along the banks of the rivers and bayous of Louisiana, is found the stuff of which legends and tall tales and dreams and romances are fashioned-and where, also-matter of fact, magnificent history has been and is still being made. Here are the heartlands of Louisiana. -Edwin Adams Davis from the Foreword

Book Synopsis Come, Walk With Me by : Edith Adrian Matthies
Download or read book Come, Walk With Me written by Edith Adrian Matthies and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2018-01-04 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This writing began as a light, retrospective narration walking through remembrances common to many who grew up in prairie farming communities in the last seventy years. The walk continued through life’s experiences which were, in turn, challenging or hilarious, poignant or bitter, and probably not highly unusual. It became apparent to the writer that a benevolent Presence had been the constant companion in the journey. In order to overcome inherent obstinacy, the Spirit of God nudged, pulled, coaxed and even pushed as was needed. The writer was able to invariably choose joy in the culmination of her life’s experiences because of the deep love she experienced from her Heavenly Father. As a result, this writing evolved from a collection of vignettes into a spiritual biography written with introspective vulnerability for the enjoyment and contemplation of her children, her grandchildren and all those who were part of her journey.
