Download or read book The Horsemen of the Plains written by Joseph Alexander Altsheler and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-04-26 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Horsemen of the Plains: A Story of the Great Cheyenne War A boy sat in a little room in the frontier town of Omaha. It was a poor and cheap place. A flimsy table stood in one corner, an equally flimsy bed in another, and one or two pictures from newspapers were tacked on the bare, pine walls. There was no carpet on the floor. Nothing showed quality, except a rifle that lay across the foot of the bed. The weapon was a fine breech-loader, advanced in type for the time, and a skilful hand had carved initials and several graceful little decorations on the stock. Any one would surmise that it was highly prized by its owner. The boy himself was a match for his rifle, a stalwart youth, seventeen years old, with the stat ure and strength of a man. His brown hair, cut short, curled just a little, and his blue eyes were set wide apart, as they usually are in those of large minds. His face was brown with tan, but, at the edge of the collar, his fair white skin showed. A comely boy, and a strong and brave one, as the most casual observer would have inferred. But he was dressed poorly, and the look upon his face, just now, was not cheerful, although his was a nature disposed to see the better side of things.

Download or read book The Virginian written by Owen Wister and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-06-09 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A strong, silent stranger rides into the lawless lands of the western frontier, battles horse thieves, deals with unyielding scoundrels, and wins the heart of a schoolmarm. Owen Wister's 1902 classic-the first great novel of the American West-is rich in moral drama and vernacular wit. His hero-like knights of old-lives by an enduring code of chivalry and is governed by quiet courage and a deep sense of honor. Set in the vast Wyoming territory, this masterpiece helped establish the code of the West and its stereotypical characters: the genteel but brave, white-hatted cowboy, the pretty spinster from back East, and villains beyond redemption. The novel is also on record for incorporating the first known "shootout" in American literature.

Download or read book The Horse And The Plains Indians written by Dorothy Hinshaw Patent and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2012-07-10 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The image of a Native American on horseback has become ingrained in the American consciousness. But the Plains Indians and the horse were not always inseparable. Once, Native Americans used dogs to help carry their goods, and even after the Spaniards introduced the horse to the Americas, horses were considered so valuable that the Spanish would not allow the Indians to have them. But soon horses escaped from Spanish settlements, and Native Americans quickly learned how valuable the horse could be as a hunting mount, beast of burden, and military steed. Follow the story of this transformative partnership, starting in the early sixteenth century and continuing today.

Book Synopsis The Indian War Novels by : Joseph A. Altsheler
Download or read book The Indian War Novels written by Joseph A. Altsheler and published by . This book was released on 2011-08 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two novels of the Plains Indian Wars of the Western Frontier The story of America has always been one of 'frontiers.' During the 18th century 'the west' was in that part of the continent we term the east today and the threat to settlers from hostile indigenous Indian tribes was from those who inhabited that densely forested wilderness of lakes and mountains. Inexorably and inevitably the tide of European pioneers-the new Americans-pushed westward towards the Pacific Ocean. The drive to open new country, to found new states, build homes and farms became an exodus of almost biblical proportions-the 'Manifest Destiny.' After the Civil War between the Northern and Southern states immigrant wagon trains would push the emergent nation into and across the great plains of the interior of the continent-the home of enormous herds of American buffalo and the Indian tribes who subsisted on them. These were the Plains Indians, born hunters and warriors who some called 'the finest light cavalry on earth' for their skill in horsemanship and who were fiercely defensive of their traditional and sacred way of life. True to pattern when an advanced society encroaches upon a primitive culture there came the inevitable conflict which could only be settled in blood. The two novels in this book, The Last of the Chiefs (a story of the Great Sioux War) and The Horsemen of the Plains (a story of the Great Cheyenne War) are adventures which are set against those once turbulent-but now romantic-times, when the Cheyennes, Arapahos and Sioux were masters of the plains and it was the task of the United States Army, the infantry and cavalry in 'dirty shirt blue' to tame them. The author of these novels, Joseph A. Altsheler, was a prolific author of adventure fiction almost always set against an historical background and most often employing the history of his own nation, the United States of America as subject material. Indeed, Altsheler remains highly regarded for his authenticity and accuracy of historical detail. Leonaur publish several series by Altsheler including, 'The French and Indian War' series, 'The Colonial Frontier' series, 'The Civil War' series and a single volume which contains the entire 'Great War' series. Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket; our hardbacks are cloth bound and feature gold foil lettering on their spines and fabric head and tail bands.
