Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "One of the most hilarious autobiographies that has come out in a long time, this story of Buckskin Joe will entertain readers of all ages. . . . [Glenn Shirley] has done an excellent job in arranging and editing Hoyt's war diary, penciled notes, and other materials into a readable book. It makes a bully story."—Wayne Gard, Southwest Review In his lifetime Edward Jonathan Hoyt, better known as Buckskin Joe, staged more excitement than Buffalo Bill, Fairbanks and Flynn, Karl Wallenda, and Batman put together. Born in Canada in 1840, he fought in the Civil War, homesteaded in southern Kansas, chased outlaws as a U.S. marshal in the Cherokee Outlet, prospected for gold from Nova Scotia to Central America, and served as a troubleshooter for "Haw" Tabor, the Silver King of Leadville. But essentially he was an entertainer, specializing in fêtes of music and feats of strength and agility. The master of sixteen musical instruments, he played in frontier bands. An acrobat and aerialist, he toured in circuses, once walking a tightrope two thousand feet above the Royal Gorge. His last hurrah, before pursuing his fortune in the jungles of Honduras, was a tour in Pawnee Bill's Wild West show. Glenn Shirley, who edited Joe's journals, is the author of Law West of Fort Smith (also a Bison Book) and many other works on frontier and outlaw history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A dynamic new fiction series from the author of The Wedding Dress Author Marian Wells has shown remarkable ability to both capture the hearts of readers and challenge them with a strong spiritual message. Colorado Gold begins a new historical fiction series, Treasure Quest, with an intriguing story set in the West when "gold fever" was at its height. Amy Randolph, a young lady from the east, has moved to a lonely Colorado mining town with her father, an itinerant evangelist. On the threshold of womanhood and having lost her mother as a child, Amy longs for an understanding mother-figure to guide her steps. But she feels more lost than ever being now separated from the familiar comforts of the East. The Christianity she had grown up with seems unreal in their new surroundings. Her strong desire to play the piano, even if it means learning from a dance hall girl, lures her into a double standard. Her confusion is multiplied when she and her friend Daniel are misjudged and find themselves in a compromised situation. Set against the rigors of life in the West, this story's message involves forgiveness and restoration of families--a marvelous redemptive theme.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the Civil War, thousands of wounded Union soldiers and Confederate prisoners convalesced in a general army hospital in rural Portsmouth Grove, Rhode Island. Because of its location on the periphery of the action, the hospital has remained a footnote to the dramatic sweep of Civil War literature. However, its history and the experiences of the doctors, nurses, patients and guards that gave it life provide a new perspective on the interaction between the army and society in wartime and on life in Civil War America. This in-depth account also explores the barbarities of medicine, daily routine in a general army hospital, the role of citizens in providing aid, the later adventures of former patients and staff, and the final resting places of those who died on the grounds.

Book excerpt: Historical fiction set in Colorado Territory during the days of the Gold Rush introduces the reader to Tom Boone. Old Tom Boone is sixty-seven when he uncovers his half century old diary. He fondly remembers his youthful search for adventure and how he found it in 1861 when as a sixteen-year-old boy he walked with his best friend, Jake, from a Missouri farm to the Colorado Rockies at the height of the gold rush. Settling in the exciting boom town of Buckskin Joe as Civil War tensions were high, Tom got all he bargained for and more by interacting with real Colorado legends, Horace and Augusta Tabor, Father Dyer, the infamous Major John Chivington and a beautiful dance hall girl known only as Miss Silverheels. Young Tom, who longs for the girl he left behind, learns the value of friendship, hard work, and loyalty and comes face to face with what he dreads the most - war.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Season of Terror is the first book-length treatment of the little-known true story of the Espinosas—serial murderers with a mission to kill every Anglo in Civil War–era Colorado Territory—and the men that brought them down. For eight months during the spring and fall of 1863, brothers Felipe Nerio and José Vivián Espinosa and their young nephew, José Vincente, New Mexico–born Hispanos, killed and mutilated an estimated thirty-two victims before their rampage came to a bloody end. Their motives were obscure, although they were members of the Penitentes, a lay Catholic brotherhood devoted to self-torture in emulation of the sufferings of Christ, and some suppose they believed themselves inspired by the Virgin Mary to commit their slaughters. Until now, the story of their rampage has been recounted as lurid melodrama or ignored by academic historians. Featuring a fascinating array of frontier characters, Season of Terror exposes this neglected truth about Colorado’s past and examines the ethnic, religious, political, military, and moral complexity of the controversy that began as a regional incident but eventually demanded the attention of President Lincoln.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Taking on one of Colorado’s 53 fourteeners—from stately Longs Peak and the iconic Maroon Bells to the easy to access Mt. Bierstadt—is becoming a pilgrimage for Colorado’s residents and its visitors. While more people than ever are climbing them, there’s still a dearth of good information about each mountain and its surrounding areas. Hiking Colorado’s Fourteeners fills that gap by informing adventurers—from the freshly-booted novice to the grizzled mountaineer—about each of Colorado’s iconic mountains over 14,000 feet tall.
