Book Synopsis Showdown in Tascosa by : Warren Bernard Lessing
Download or read book Showdown in Tascosa written by Warren Bernard Lessing and published by Publishamerica Incorporated. This book was released on 2008-11 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wade Lassiter, a renowned gunfighter, was actually an Easterner. Drifting west at an early age, he never expected to gain a reputation as a shootist. Like all young men, he purchased a six gun. Anyone without one received a questioning look. Always fast with his hands, he became adept at the fast draw. The first time he killed a man was only because he was backed into a corner and had no choice. Thus began the legend of Wade Lassiter. Unlike most gunfighters (a term he hated), he only drew his gun when he was in a kill-or-be-killed situation. This changed when he killed Clay Kincaid. He did all he could to avoid any confrontations until, once again, he had no choice.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: U.S. Marshal M D (Shorty) Thompson's oversized ranch partner Buffalo, talked Shorty into letting him come along on this assignment in west Texas. James (Buffalo) Blackburn could be as stubborn as a sick mule about most everything. President Hayes sent Shorty a wire that had to be delivered by the Butterfield Stage Lines, telling him to head for Tascosa and round up some rustlers and land grabbers. A nagging feeling hit Buffalo to go along, not knowing this could lead them to the killers of his wife. Law or no law, nothing will stop Buffalo from beating them into a bloody pulp and ripping them apart limbs from body. He had waited too long to get his hands on these two low life murdering polecats. The local Ranchers around Tascosa had waited long enough for the Texas Rangers to show up, and Washington didn't seem to give a damn. Now they would take the matter into their own hands. Too much blood had been spilled in and around Tascosa and all of it theirs. Friends and fellow ranchers were being shot down every day and their cattle and property taken over by the King. Using their guns and every farmer and rancher in the Panhandle, things were about to change. King or no damn King, a lot of men were about to die! Crooked law was about to be stopped. A huge showdown was coming in Tascosa.After being kidnapped and held for five months, Sherilea Bessemer escapes from the gang of outlaws. The only thing that kept her alive was her thoughts of revenge. She had a long time to think, and her choice of weapons will be one very sharp kitchen knife and one old wooden clothespin.
Book Synopsis The Grand Duke from Boys Ranch by : Bill Sarpalius
Download or read book The Grand Duke from Boys Ranch written by Bill Sarpalius and published by Texas A&M University Press. This book was released on 2018-04-09 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a boy in Houston, Bill Sarpalius, his brothers, and their mother lived an itinerant life. Bill dug food out of trashcans, and he and his brothers moved from one school to the next. They squatted in a vacant home while their mother, affectionately called “Honey,” battled alcoholism and suicidal tendencies. In an act of desperation, she handed her three sons over to Cal Farley’s Boys Ranch north of Amarillo. At the time, Bill was thirteen years old and could not read. Life at Boys Ranch had its own set of harrowing challenges, however. He found himself living in fear of some staff and older boys. He became involved in Future Farmers of America and discovered a talent for public speaking. When he graduated, he had a hundred dollars and no place to go. He worked hard, earned a scholarship from the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, and obtained a college degree. After a brief career as a teacher and in agribusiness, he won a seat in the Texas Senate. Driven by the memory of his suffering mother, he launched the Texas Commission on Alcohol and Drug Abuse in an effort to help people struggling with addiction. Sarpalius later served in the United States Congress. As a Lithuanian American, he took a special interest in that nation’s fight for independence from the Soviet Union. For his efforts, Sarpalius received the highest honor possible to a non-Lithuanian citizen and was named a “Grand Duke.” The Grand Duke from Boys Ranch is a unique political memoir—the story of a life full of unlikely paths that is at once heartbreaking and inspirational.
Book Synopsis SHOWDOWN ON THE HOGBACK [New Introduction and Filmography] by : LOUIS L'AMOUR
Download or read book SHOWDOWN ON THE HOGBACK [New Introduction and Filmography] written by LOUIS L'AMOUR and published by Renaissance EBooks. This book was released on 2015-05-01 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A rarely reprinted pulp magazine novel from bestselling western novelist Louis L'Amour. Showdown on the Hogback was first published in Giant Western magazine August 1950 under the pseudonym Jim Mayo. Years later, as was Louis L'Amour's habit, it was rewritten as Showdown at Yellow Butte. Was any gunfighter ever in a worse predicament? Tom Kedrick found himself caught between two sides - and he was both those sides! Hired by a big land syndicate to drive out what he is told are dangerous squatters and outlaw gangs from a useless swamp, Kedrick soon finds he has been lied to and betrayed. What he finds is fertile is ranch land already claimed by the farmers and ranchers who have been living there peacefully, but are prepared to fight to the death to keep their homes. When Kedrick confronts the syndicate, he finds himself marked for death both by the syndicate's killers and the suspicious farmers. The cover for this ebook edition is reworked from the original magazine cover by George Rozen for Showdown on the Hogback (Rosen also provided covers for The Shadow and Doc Savage magazines during his long career) and was scanned from the publisher's copy of that issue of Giant Western. Also includes a filmography of stars, directors and screenplay writers for all the theatrical films made from the author's westerns.

Download or read book The LS Brand written by Dulcie Sullivan and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2014-09-11 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the spring of 1881, W. M. D. Lee and Lucien B. Scott, wealthy businessmen of Leavenworth, Kansas, purchased land in the upper Texas Panhandle to establish the Lee-Scott Cattle Company. Their range sprawled across four Texas counties and extended into eastern New Mexico. About six months later, fifty thousand head of mixed cattle, branded LS, grazed those thousands of acres of free grass. This book is the story of Lee and Scott’s LS Ranch from the tempestuous years of the open range to the era of “bob wire.” It is also the story of the pioneer men and women whose efforts developed the LS into a cattle empire: W. M. D. and Lena Lee, Lucien and Julia Scott, “Mister Mac” and “Miss Annie” McAllister, and Charles and Pauline Whitman. Here are accounts of chuck wagons and wagon bosses; prairie fires, blizzards, and bog holes; ranch management problems and cowboys on strike; lobo wolves and romance; wild sprees in Tascosa and its “Hogtown” sector; LS cowboys fighting against a gang of organized rustlers in a feud that ended in tragedy; and those same cowboys on the long trails to Dodge City and Montana. Drawing upon stories told to her by men and women who were with the LS during the 1880’s and later years, Dulcie Sullivan presents her narrative in a clear, straightforward, but sympathetic manner that gives the reader a vivid sense of how life was really lived there in those times. Especially telling is her occasional use of an almost poetic incident: the steers bedding down around a campfire to listen to the chuck-wagon cook play his fiddle, or the suit of Spanish armor found in a spring, or the hail-battered trees attempting to renew themselves, despite their grotesque shapes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unearth the Mysteries of Those Who Lie Beneath the Oldest Graveyards in the Lone Star State Texas, the second largest state, both in land mass and population, has more than 50,000 cemeteries, graveyards, and burial grounds. As the final resting places of those whose earthly journey has ended, they are also repositories of valuable cultural history.

In What Lies Beneath: Texas Pioneer Cemeteries and Graveyards, author Cynthia Leal Massey exhumes the stories of these pioneers, revealing the intriguing truth behind the earliest graveyards in the Lone Star State, including some of its most ancient. This guide also provides descriptions of headstone features and symbols, and demystifies the burial traditions of early Texas pioneers and settlers.
Book Synopsis Imagining the American West through Film and Tourism by : Warwick Frost
Download or read book Imagining the American West through Film and Tourism written by Warwick Frost and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-06-05 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The West is one of the strongest and most enduring place images in the world and its myth is firmly rooted in popular culture – whether novels, film, television, music, clothing and even video games. The West combines myth and history, rugged natural scenery and wide open spaces, popular culture and promises of transformation. These imagined places draw in tourists, attracted by a cultural heritage that is part fictional and mediatised. In turn, tourism operators and destination marketing organisations refashion what they present to fit these imagined images. This book explores this imagining of a mythic West through three key themes, travel, film and frontiers to offer new insight into how the imagination of the West and popular culture has influenced the construction of tourism. In doing so, it examines the series of paradoxes that underlie the basic appeal of the West: evocative frontier, a boundary zone between civilisation and wilderness and between order and lawlessness. It draws on a range of films and literature as well as varying places from festivals to national parks to showcase different aspects of the nexus between travel, film and frontiers in this fascinating region. Interdisciplinary in character, it includes perspectives from cultural studies, American studies, tourism and film studies. Written by leading academics, this title will be valuable reading for students, researchers and academics in the fields of cultural studies, tourism, film studies and media studies and all those interested in film tourism.
Book Synopsis Trigger Gospel by : Harry Sinclair Drago
Download or read book Trigger Gospel written by Harry Sinclair Drago and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2014-09-23 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tascosa Cummings left behind the tedious life of cattle ranching years ago; now he lives the carefree, nomadic life of a true cowboy, trading in herds for horses and barbed wire fences for the open Oklahoma range. When Tas and his band of mounted men find themselves in the crossfire of a two-sided range war with nothing but their horses, their guns, and a wagon of supplies for defense, getting out alive with their guns in their holsters just doesn’t seem to be an option. Doing business on the range at a time when the people who enforce the law are the very same who break it, it becomes practical for Tas and his Sawbuck gang to turn and ride away before shots are fired and the dust gets kicked up; if you don’t see anything, you can’t say anything. But when the good and the bad join forces in a veritable No Man’s Land, it’s up to each mounted man to defend what’s rightfully his—his bronc, his brand, and his name—law or no law.

Book Synopsis Bebes and the Bear by : Ron J. Jackson
Download or read book Bebes and the Bear written by Ron J. Jackson and published by Texas A&M University Press. This book was released on 2019-10-18 with total page 371 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No one who has seen the iconic photograph can ever forget its emotional pull: a grinning Gene Stallings, hoisted into the air at midfield in the arms of his lifelong mentor, Paul “Bear” Bryant, moments after the final gun sounded for the 1968 Cotton Bowl. Stallings’s upstart Aggies delivered an unbelievable upset of Bryant’s Crimson Tide, a team that had dominated its SEC rivals under the leadership of a young quarterback who later achieved NFL fame, Kenny “Snake” Stabler. Yet the famous image captured on that memorable day is merely the culmination of a greater story. In Bebes and the Bear: Gene Stallings, Coach Bryant, and Their 1968 Cotton Bowl Showdown, Ron J. Jackson Jr. unpacks for readers the heartwarming journey of two coaches and their lifelong mutual respect and admiration. From the rocky, drought-plagued practice fields in Junction, Texas, in the summer of 1954, through the memorable 1967 autumn campaign that led both coaches to their highly publicized Cotton Bowl matchup, Jackson chronicles the story of Bryant, Stallings, and the two storied football traditions that bound them together. Based on hours of interviews with Stallings, his players, and other eyewitnesses and painstaking research in the archives at both Texas A&M University and the University of Alabama, Jackson has reconstructed the pivotal moments of play, the coaching decisions, and the athletic heroics that combined to create one of the most unforgettable moments in college football history.
