Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE LIFE AND KNIFE OF THE ARGENTINE GAUCHO contains a selection of excerpts from textbooks and journals published in the 19th and early 2oth centuries. These accounts represent the candid observations of British and American researchers, journalists, and travelers to South America, and their first hand impressions of the Gauchos of Argentina, Uruguay, and Brazil. The accounts paint a vivid picture of these somber and solitary riders who roamed the Pampas, and of the large knife-the facon-that was every Gaucho's faithful companion. The Gaucho was an exotic cowboy of mythical proportions, one who spoke a foreign language but who shared the cowboy's love of self-reliance, rugged independence, and autonomous freedom. Although today the Argentine Gaucho has followed the American cowboy into the setting sun, we still have a record of their deeds-whether real or fanciful-to fuel the desire for independence and freedom in future generations of rugged individualists.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1827, James Bowie carved his way into American history at the Sandbar Fight, and soon every fighting man of the South and West had to have a knife like his. The bowie knife could cut like a razor, chop like a cleaver, and stab like a sword, and many considered it deadlier than a pistol at close range. So great was the dread it inspired that by 1838 it was banned in several states—a ban that did little to stanch the flow of blood. Bowie's story is well known, but what of the other cutters and stabbers of his day? Gunfighters have long been celebrated, but those who fought with the bowie knife have been largely ignored—until now. Unearthing accounts from memoirs, court records, regional histories, and newspaper archives, Paul Kirchner, author of the Paladin bestsellers The Deadliest Men and More of the Deadliest Men Who Ever Lived , presents their stories for the first time in Bowie Knife Fights, Fighters, and Fighting Techniques. Kirchner identifies and profiles the four greatest bowie knife fighters of history, as well as numerous other wielders of the blade. He details the weapon's use in the Texas War of Independence, the Mormon exodus, the Mexican War, the slave system, the Gold Rush, Bleeding Kansas, the Civil War, the Lincoln assassination, the Indian Wars, and the Western frontier. The book describes bowie knife fighting tricks and techniques and provides numerous accounts of knife-against-knife and knife-against-gun encounters. Its final chapter surveys the continued use of the bowie and other fighting knives in modern warfare.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Argentinian writer Eduardo Gutiérrez (1851-1889) fashioned his seminal gauchesque novel from the prison records of the real Juan Moreira, a noble outlaw whose life and name became legendary in the Río de la Plata during the late 19th century. John Chasteen's fast-moving, streamlined translation--the first ever into English--captures all of the sweeping romance and knife-wielding excitement of the original. William Acree's introduction and notes situate Juan Moreira in its literary and historical contexts. Numerous illustrations, a map of Moreira’s travels, a glossary of terms, and a select bibliography are all included.

Slatta, a professor of history at North Carolina State University at Raleigh and the author of Cowboys of the Americas (1990).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An educator and writer, Sarmiento was President of Argentina from 1868 to 1874. His Facundo is a study of the Argentine character, a prescription for the modernization of Latin America, and a protest against the tyranny of the government of Juan Manuel de Rosas (1835-1852). The book brings nineteenth-century Latin American history to life even as it raises questions still being debated today--questions regarding the "civilized" city versus the "barbaric" countryside, the treatment of indigenous and African populations, and the classically liberal plan of modernization.
