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: The canyon country of southeastern Utah is a land of dramatic contrast, with high mountains, tortuous canyons, towering monuments, hot deserts, and freezing alpine temperatures. Raising and herding cattle in this environment is more than challenging. At times, it is death-defying. Fin Bayles, a fourth-generation cattleman, learned well what it took to raise livestock in this forbidding terrain. Much was required of people who would prosper in a stingy land. In Cowboying in Canyon Country, with captivating wit and humor shared through prose, oral history, and poetry, Fin provides a window into the daily challenges facing such people. His life in the rural Four Corners region was filled with trials and adventure—a kaleidoscope of colorful personalities plying their trades; raising horses, mules, and hinnies; and caring for cattle and cowboys on the range. Saddle up with Fin for an unforgettable ride through yesteryear!

Download or read book Cadillac Jack written by Larry McMurtry and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2010-06-01 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Cadillac Jack, Larry McMurtry—Pulitzer Prize–winning author of Lonesome Dove—proves his unique talent for conjuring up the real, often eccentric people who inhabit the American heartland and for capturing the peculiarly American search for new frontiers and adventure. Cadillac Jack is a rodeo-cowboy-turned-antique-scout whose nomadic, womanizing life—centered on his classic pearl-colored Cadillac—rambles between the Texas flatlands of flea markets and small-time auctions and Washington, D.C.'s political-social life of parties, hustlers, vixens, and spies. Along the way he meets a cast of indelibly etched characters: among them, the strikingly beautiful, social-climbing Cindy Sanders; Boog Miller, the tackily-dressing millionaire good ol' boy who patronizes Jack's business and who has more political muscle than a litter of lobbyists; Khaki Descartes, the pushy, brain-picking, Washington woman reporter; Freddy Fu, an undercover CIA agent working out of a greasy barbecue joint called The Cover-Up; and Jean Arber, the mother of two and a fledgling antique-store owner who can't quite figure out if she'll marry Jack or not. Wild, touching, and hilariously funny, Cadillac Jack is Larry McMurtry's raucous social satire of sex, politics, and love in the fast lane, peopled with Americans only he could render.
