Book Synopsis Southern Hoofprints by : Garry Allison
Download or read book Southern Hoofprints written by Garry Allison and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2015-04-24 with total page 476 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One-part lively oral history, one-part meticulously researched encyclopaedia, and one-part wild ride, Southern Hoofprints colorfully conveys the story of horse racing in Southern Alberta. And in so doing, it also becomes a fascinating history of the region itself, from the late 1880s through to the present day. From racing’s rough, Wild West beginnings to the vast grandstands of modern times, this regional history of the Sport of Kings has been deeply researched and is delivered in a unique and engaging fashion. With wry humour and occasional pulse-throbbing drama, the reader is treated to an intimate perspective on family traditions of husband and wife owners, the dynasties of multi-generational riders, the spectators, and even the horses themselves. The chronicle of the rise of women riders from the trivialized ‘powder puff’ races to becoming power players on the track, and that of the First Nations people from the early days through to today, make this a completely inclusive history. It tells a distinctly Canadian story and its focus on the Southern Alberta region allows it to paint the picture in vivid detail. With its historical data enriched and enlivened through the human dimension of the oral histories, Southern Hoofprints entertainingly recounts horse-racing’s triumphs, tragedies, and continual reinvention.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rodeo, cattle ranching, and bullfighting converge in the arenas of race, gender, and ethics in Reversible America. In Southwestern California, these sports manifest in spectacular expressions of transcultural interactions that continue to develop through border crossings.

Download or read book Flint Hills Cowboys written by Jim Hoy and published by University Press of Kansas. This book was released on 2006-04-27 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Flint Hills are America's last tallgrass prairie, a green enclave set in the midst of the farmland of eastern Kansas. Known as the home of the Big Beef Steer, these rugged hills have produced exemplary cowboys-both the ranch and rodeo varieties-whose hard work has given them plenty of material for equally good stories. Jim Hoy grew up in the Flint Hills on a ranch at Cassoday that's been in his family for five generations and boasts roots "as deep as those of bluestem grass in black-soil bottomland." He now draws on this area's rich cowboy lore-as well as on his own experience working cattle, breaking horses, and rodeoing-to write a folk history of the Flint Hills spanning a century and a half. Hoy blends history, folklore, and memoir to conjure for readers the tallgrass prairies of his boyhood in a book that richly recalls the ranching life and the people who lived it. Here are cowboys and outlaws, rodeo stars and runaway horses, ordinary folks and the stuff of legends. Hoy introduces readers to the likes of Lou Hart, a top hand with the Crocker Brothers from 1906 to1910, whose poetic paean to ranch life circulated orally for fifty years before seeing print. And he tracks down the legend of Bud Gillette, considered by his neighbors the world's fastest man until he fell in with an unscrupulous promoter. He even unravels the mystery of a lone grave supposed to be that of the first cowboy in the Flint Hills. Hoy also explains why a good horse makes up for having to work with exasperating cattle-and why not all horses are created (or trained) equal. And he traces Flint Hills cattle culture from the days of the trail drive through the railroad years to today's trucking era, with most railroad stockyards torn down and only one section house left standing. Writes Hoy, "I feed on the stories of the Hills and the characters who tell them as the cattle feed on the grasses." His love of the land shines throughout a book so real that readers will swear they hear the click of horseshoes on flint rock with every turn of the page.
Download or read book E-Town Showdown written by Will Davis and published by Outskirts Press. This book was released on 2019-05-09 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like his father, Lance Kincaid became a Texas Ranger. Unlike most Rangers, Lance befriended the Lipan Apaches and showed concern for their poor treatment by the U. S. Government. The Tribe respected Lance and made him a blood brother. He left the Rangers and joined the Union Army to fight in the Civil War, where he suffered a serious wound that caused him physical injuries and the loss of his memory. His only ties to his past were letters he was said to have received postmarked Bell County, Texas. He headed to Texas hoping to recover his memory. Upon his arrival in Bell County, he discovered his father had died at the hands of the Carpetbaggers. They had also confiscated his ranch. Lance became a U. S. Marshal and set out to find his father's killer, or killers. Over the next several years, he carried out several assignments and faced challenges from criminals, Indians and corrupt members of the Government. E-Town Showdown is the story of one of those assignments. As a U.S. Marshal, Lance Kincaid, and his deputy Hefty, arrived at Elizabethtown, New Mexico, finding themselves in the middle of the Colfax County War, being threatened by both sides and not knowing which side was in the right. They were tasked to find the fate of a missing Federal Surveyor, that was sent to E-Town by the Department of Interior to verify the boundaries of the, much disputed, 1.7 million-acre Maxwell Land Grant. During his investigation, he experienced challenges from the Apaches, The Santa Fe Ring, and the settlers living on the Grant. After surviving several attempts on his life, he finally reached the surprising answer concerning the fate of the missing Surveyor.

Download or read book A Wilder West written by Mary-Ellen Kelm and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2012-07-01 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rodeo cowboy is one of the most evocative images of the Wild West. The master of the frontier, he is renowned for his masculinity, toughness, and skill. A Wilder West returns to rodeo's small-town roots to explore how rodeo simultaneously embodies and subverts our traditional understandings of power relations between man and nature, women and men, settlers and Aboriginal peoples. An important contact zone – a chaotic and unpredictable place of encounter – rodeo has challenged expected social hierarchies, bringing people together across racial and gender divides to create friendships, rivalries, and unexpected intimacies. At the rodeo, Aboriginal riders became local heroes, and rodeo queens spoke their minds. A Wilder West complicates the idea of western Canada as a “white man's country” and shows how rural rodeos have been communities in which different rules applied. Lavishly illustrated, this creative history will change the way we see the West's most controversial sport.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Focusing on the northern plains and the Southwest, Iverson traces the rise and fall of individual and tribal cattle industries against the backdrop of changing federal Indian policies. He describes the Indian Bureau's inability to recognize that most nineteenth-century reservations were better suited to ranching than farming. Even though allotment and leasing stifled ranching, livestock became symbols and ranching a new means of resisting, adapting, and living - for remaining Native.
