Book excerpt: Cole Bridger: The Blue Bandana, Partners, Relations By Tom Yaeger This is the first book in a trilogy. Cole Bridger is a fictional grandson of the famous scout and frontiersman, Jim Bridger and “Old Gabe’s” first wife. Jay Bridger is a grandson from the older man’s second marriage. Jim Bridger was married three times to Indian women of different tribes. Much of his life story, the author suspects, is a bit embellished. He moved his third wife and family to Missouri around 1843 then returned West, blazing part of the Bozeman Trail. Jim Bridger died in 1881.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On March 20, 1822, the Missouri Republican published a notice addressed “to enterprising young men” in the St. Louis area. “The subscriber,” it said “wishes to engage one hundred young men to ascend the Missouri River to its source, there to be employed for one, two, or three years. For particulars enquire of Major Andrew Henry… or of the subscriber near St. Louise.” The “subscriber” was General William H. Ashley, and among the “enterprising young men” who embarked with Major Henry less than a month later was eighteen-year-old James Bridger, former blacksmith’s apprentice. So began the Ashley-Henry fur empire and the long, colorful career of Jim Bridger. In the years that followed, Jim Bridger became a master mountain man, an expert trapper, and a guide without equal. He came to know the Rocky Mountain region and its inhabitants as a farmer knows his fields and flocks. Indeed, J. Cecil Alter tells us, “he was among the first white men to use the Indian trail over South Pass; he was first to taste the waters of the Great Salt lake, first to report a two-ocean stream, foremost in describing the Yellowstone Park phenomena, and the only man to run the Big Horn River rapid on a raft; and he originally selected the Crow Creek-Sherman-Dale Creek route the Laramie Mountains and Bridger’s Pass over the Continental Divide, which were adopted by the Union pacific Railroad.” Such knowledge, together with extraordinary skill and uncanny luck, preserved Jim Bridger in a country where nearly half of his mountain companions met violent death. It also gave rise to a brood of impossible tales about Old Gabe and his adventures-tales which he himself may unwittingly have helped along with his droll humor. Based on Mr. Alter’s original biography of 1925 (a facsimile edition of which, with addenda, appeared in 1950) and a wealth of new facts gleaned from many years of careful research, Jim Bridger is the authentic story of the Old Scout’s life. Only those events in which Bridger took part are included; improbable and uncorroborated stories, however interesting, have been omitted.

Download or read book Jim Bridger written by Jerry Enzler and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2021-04-29 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Even among iconic frontiersmen like John C. Frémont, Kit Carson, and Jedediah Smith, Jim Bridger stands out. A mountain man of the American West, straddling the fur trade era and the age of exploration, he lived the life legends are made of. His adventures are fit for remaking into the tall tales Bridger himself liked to tell. Here, in a biography that finally gives this outsize character his due, Jerry Enzler takes this frontiersman’s full measure for the first time—and tells a story that would do Jim Bridger proud. Born in 1804 and orphaned at thirteen, Bridger made his first western foray in 1822, traveling up the Missouri River with Mike Fink and a hundred enterprising young men to trap beaver. At twenty he “discovered” the Great Salt Lake. At twenty-one he was the first to paddle the Bighorn River’s Bad Pass. At twenty-two he explored the wonders of Yellowstone. In the following years, he led trapping brigades into Blackfeet territory; guided expeditions of Smithsonian scientists, topographical engineers, and army leaders; and, though he could neither read nor write, mapped the tribal boundaries for the Great Indian Treaty of 1851. Enzler charts Bridger’s path from the fort he built on the Oregon Trail to the route he blazed for Montana gold miners to avert war with Red Cloud and his Lakota coalition. Along the way he married into the Flathead, Ute, and Shoshone tribes and produced seven children. Tapping sources uncovered in the six decades since the last documented Bridger biography, Enzler’s book fully conveys the drama and details of the larger-than-life history of the “King of the Mountain Men.” This is the definitive story of an extraordinary life.

Book excerpt: Wyoming Women By Tom Yaeger She was an ash-blonde goddess, this Alexis Huggens, tall, slender, a long single braid, and buckskin breeches. Nineteen and schooled in the arts of judo, jui jitsu, and karate, with a nickel plated short-barreled colt army reversed on her left hip and a nickel plated .32 caliber Derringer hidden between her “cups,” she buys a leggy chestnut mare she renames “Dancer.” With a custom cut-down Henry jammed into her scabbard, she kisses her folks goodbye and rides west from Douglas, seeking adventure before marriage. Alex will find it, meeting and riding with Jay Bridger and, later, Marshall Austin Pardee. She captures the young man who robbed her and, later, with Pardee, the other two that the thief rode with! Then almost dying only months later; kidnapped, beaten, starved, and savagely raped by a relative of the men, she’d put away. She becomes an honest-to-God “hell-woman-on-horseback!” Hannah Perkins, a pretty, hormone ravaged eighteen-year-old from Dixon, who has a habit of undressing herself in her sleep, rides a young stallion who can scent forty-eight hours before it’s her time-of-the-month! She rides out of Dixon, all the way into southeast Montana on a bitter mission to get the man who took her by force, and took her mother and step-father by gun! On the way, she meets Alex Huggens and the two join up together, sharing a mutual respect, an alliance, and bed partners, namely Jay Bridger, an Arapaho boy called “Tag,” and, ah, let’s say, their “go-betweens!”

Young nurse Jennifer Evans, keen to get back to her family, plans to walk the last couple of miles to her home in a neighbouring village. She phones her daughter to confirm that she’s on her way, but she never arrives home.In the ensuing police investigation, no trace of Jennifer Evans is ever found. The only evidence is a photograph taken by a fellow passenger of footprints in the snow in front of Holdergate station. It appears someone was fleeing for their life…. Contacted by Jennifer’s daughter, at first it seems private investigator John “Slim” Hardy has no chance of solving a forty-two-year-old mystery. But as the case begins to unravel, Slim finds himself caught in the centre of a whirlwind which will send him spinning to a dramatic conclusion. The Angler’s Tale Attempting to forget his problems with the bottle, former soldier turned private detective John “Slim” Hardy joins what ought to be a peaceful fishing package holiday in Dartmouth, South Devon. But when a violent tragedy affects one of the other tour guests, Slim finds himself on the trail of a potential killer. Set in the beautiful surrounds of the River Dart estuary and Agatha Christie’s Greenway, The Angler’s Tale will take Slim Hardy into places darker than any he has faced before.

The disappearance in mysterious circumstances of local schoolgirl Emily Martin left police clueless. After being missing for eight days, her sudden reappearance left them equally baffled.

Two years later, as her relationship with her daughter falls apart, Emily's desperate mother Georgia turns to Slim, wanting answers. Her eight days missing has changed Emily, so much so that Georgia is unsure the girl is even her daughter at all ...

Book Synopsis The Heart of Everything That Is by : Bob Drury
Download or read book The Heart of Everything That Is written by Bob Drury and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2013-11-05 with total page 483 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York Times Bestseller: This biography of the Sioux warrior who defeated the US Army is “a page-turner” with “the narrative sweep of a great Western” (The Boston Globe). Red Cloud was the only American Indian in history to defeat the United States Army in a war, forcing the government to sue for peace on his terms. At the peak of Red Cloud’s powers, the Sioux could claim control of one-fifth of the contiguous United States and the loyalty of thousands of fierce fighters. But the fog of history has left Red Cloud strangely obscured. Now, thanks to the rediscovery of a lost autobiography, and painstaking research by two award-winning authors, the story of the nineteenth century’s most powerful and successful Indian warrior can finally be told. In this astonishing untold story of the American West, Bob Drury and Tom Clavin restore Red Cloud to his rightful place in American history in a sweeping and dramatic narrative based on years of primary research. As they trace the events leading to Red Cloud’s War, they provide intimate portraits of the many lives Red Cloud touched—mountain men such as Jim Bridger; US generals, like William Tecumseh Sherman, who were charged with annihilating the Sioux; fearless explorers, such as the dashing John Bozeman; and the memorable warriors whom Red Cloud groomed, like the legendary Crazy Horse. And at the center of the story is Red Cloud, fighting for the very existence of the Indian way of life. This is the definitive chronicle of the conflict between an expanding white population and the Plains Indians who stood in its way. “Gripping.” —Minneapolis Star Tribune “Illuminating.” —Publishers Weekly “Unabashed, unbiased, and disturbingly honest, leaving no razor-sharp arrowhead unturned, no rifle trigger unpulled. . . . a compelling and fiery narrative.” —USA Today
