Book excerpt: Fargo crosses calibers with a mining murderer… With a reputation like his, Skye Fargo knows that trouble doesn’t need a map to find him. So when he’s hired to blaze a trail through the mountains to a fresh gold strike, he’s not too surprised when a pair of bushwhackers tries to shoot him out of his saddle. The ambushers’ trail leads Fargo to Denver City, where he ends up caught in an escalating war between the local miners looking to make a life for themselves – and a claim-jumping businessman who doesn’t take no for an answer. And before the Trailsman is through, he’s going to sift a motherlode of lead from a river of blood…

Book excerpt: The small mining camp of Bitteropolis has two new residents -- a rough man calling himself 'Bad' Bill Jackson, and his daugher Pauline. 'Polly' is well-liked by many men in the area, but Old Man Jackson warns them all off. The one man who could possibly have a chance is half-breed Colorado Cool, a soft-spoken gentle man who would rather not fight although he is more than able to hold his own. But before anything happens, his mining partner is robbed and fatally wounded, and with another robbery happening close by there is some suspicion on him, Jackson's ire is kept high by the egging on of strangers who are considering jumping the claim that has been revealed. On top of this, before he died, the miner Will Alexander says he has a confession to be read, but it has been stolen along with the gold.

Book excerpt: Since 1976, newcomers and natives alike have learned about the rich history of the magnificent place they call home from Colorado: A History of the Centennial State. In the fifth edition, coauthors Carl Abbott, Stephen J. Leonard, and Thomas J. Noel incorporate recent events, scholarship, and insights about the state in an accessible volume that general readers and students will enjoy. The new edition tells of conflicts, shifting alliances, and changing ways of life as Hispanic, European, and African American settlers flooded into a region that was already home to Native Americans. Providing a balanced treatment of the entire state’s history—from Grand Junction to Lamar and from Trinidad to Craig—the authors also reveal how Denver and its surrounding communities developed and gained influence. While continuing to elucidate the significant impact of mining, agriculture, manufacturing, and tourism on Colorado, the fifth edition broadens and focuses its coverage by consolidating material on Native Americans into one chapter and adding a new chapter on sports history. The authors also expand their discussion of the twentieth century with updated sections on the environment, economy, politics, and recent cultural conflicts. New illustrations, updated statistics, and an extensive bibliography including Internet resources enhance this edition.

Download or read book The Western written by David Lusted and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-10-13 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Western introduces the novice to the pleasures and the meanings of the Western film, shares the excitement of the genre with the fan, addresses the suspicions of the cynic and develops the knowledge of the student. The Western is about the changing times of the Western, and about how it has been understood in film criticism. Until the 1980s, more Westerns were made than any other type of film. For fifty of those years, the genre was central to Hollywood's popularity and profitability. The Western explores the reasons for its success and its latter-day decline among film-makers and audiences alike. Part I charts the history of the Western film and its role in film studies. Part II traces the origins of the Western in nineteenth-century America, and in its literary, theatrical and visual imagining. This sets the scene to explore the many evolving forms in successive chapters on early silent Westerns, the series Western, the epic, the romance, the dystopian, the elegiac and, finally, the revisionist Western. The Western concludes with an extensive bibliography, filmography and select further reading. Over 200 Westerns are discussed, among them close accounts of classics such as Duel in the Sun, The Wild Bunch and Unforgiven, formative titles like John Ford's epic The Iron Horse, and early cowboy star William S. Hart's The Silent One together with less familiar titles that deserve wider recognition, including Comanche Station, Pursued and Ulzana's Raid.

The second half, "Business Models," looks at the "business" side, and contains many tips about the practical side of the music industry - using internet content, budgets and breakevens, tax issues, when to incorporate and why, and much more. Simply put, Navigating the Music Industry is the most complete book on the subject to date. Previously announced as What's Going On?: Current Issues in the Music Business.

Download or read book In Defense of Professor Goldrick written by Margaret McLean Truly and published by Hillcrest Publishing Group. This book was released on 2016 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Goldrick biographer, Margaret McLean Truly, spent three decades tracking information about the brilliant, eccentric, elusive O.J. Goldrick. He refused to talk about himself, and when he died, his public knew him but knew nothing about his true history. Truly located six of his great-great-nieces scattered from California to Pennsylvania. She obtained original letters written in the 1800s by the professor, his siblings, and his father, along with a diary written by Goldrick's older brother. This led to the establishment of the Goldrick Family Collection at the History Colorado Center in Denver. Bringing the letters together not only allowed her to document her work, but made it possible to weave a story based on the documents and articles in reams of microfilmed newspapers. The result is a well-documented first-time telling of the story of one of Colorado's most interesting pioneers.

Download or read book Colorado's Confederate Legacy written by Scott Dalton Myers and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2023-06-23 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The American Civil War, 1861-1865, was the culmination of many complex causes and factors. Slavery was not the direct or proximate cause of the war; rather, it was intertwined with these other complex issues and factors that led to the war (see Appendix A). But it is not much of a stretch to say it was also about the American West--fought to determine the future control of that part of the United States. Although most of the battles took place in the east and southeast, the American West held much political and economic value for both the North and the South. The ports of California would allow the Confederate States to avoid the Union blockade of Southern ports. The gold and silver of the West could provide additional funding sources for the war for both sides. Last but not least, all of the territories and states held value for their present or future legislative votes in both chambers of Congress. What role did Colorado play in the Civil War and what role did Confederate Veterans play in development of Colorado? Two Colorado Governors were Confederate Veterans--James B. Grant, the third governor of Colorado served in the 20th Alabama Light Artillery Battalion, and Charles S. Thomas, the eleventh governor of Colorado served in the Georgia State Militia. Georgia Confederate Veterans William and Joseph Russell discovered gold on Little Dry Creek along the Platte River that began the "Pikes Peak or Bust" Gold Rush in 1858. The brothers founded the town of Auraria on Cherry Creek, which became the first permanent settlement of what would later become Denver. Confederate Veterans also served as senators, a congressmen, as well as officials in towns and municipalities all across the state. These prominent Colorado Confederate Veterans are listed in this book, along with the positions they held. Additionally, there are 506 known Confederate Veterans buried in Colorado. These Veterans are detailed in this book, with their names, ranks, units, and the location of their graves. The Civil War radically changed the role of women on both sides of the war. Women filled positions previously held by men, and many women found themselves working outside the home and earning money for the first time in their lives. Most of the Southern women served on the home front, but many also served the Confederacy as nurses, spies, couriers, and dignitaries, while some even served in uniform. You can read about some of their exploits in this book. Native Americans also served in the Confederate States Army. Their units and achievements are detailed herein.
