Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Robert Willingham, alias Robert Evans, came to Dry Wells, Texas, he was answering a job advertisement. Jed Cobb, a rancher, had chosen Robert because of his name on a WANTED poster -- which told Robert (now an ex-con man) that the old Texan probably needed some shady business done. He didn't dream that this included the murder of Cobb's two nephews in order to secure title to the ranch they had inherited from their aunt, Cobb's long dead wife. But Evans was no murderer, and he concocted a plot of his own, complicated by the intrusion of the vengeful Comanche leader, Buffalo Hump. Can he save the lives of the two innocent boys and preserve the heritage of the Three Oaks Ranch? "Mayhar's novel gives you a genuine feeling for the old west, from the cadence of the language to the situations themselves. A grand adventure with real people in a western setting!" -- Robert Reginald.

Book excerpt: Dylan Ryan arrives in Mexican Texas in early 1836, just as settlers begin to flee before the approaching army of General Santa Anna in what would later be known as, The Runaway Scrape. Already Sam Houston's army of regulars and militia are rallying for the final battle, one that will decide the outcome of the war. As Dylan Ryan rides to join the forces at San Jacinto, he encounters Mort Lems, an older man severely wounded by a band of the notorious Redlanders, outlaws that roam the unpatrolled area of no-man's land between the borders of Louisiana and Texas. Compelled to aid this man and prevent his murder at the hands of thieves willing to torture and kill for Mort's knowledge of the old Spanish trail leading from the Washita Mountains through North Texas where gold is said to be buried, the two embark on a journey to the Red River in far North Texas to seek refuge in the raw wilderness that borders the Indian Territory.When they arrive, they find settlements springing up around every trading post, as homesteaders ferry across the Red River to claim land already promised as hunting grounds to the Indians.It doesn't take very long for a new war to flare, this time between the settlers and the hostile bands intent on reclaiming their old lands. Dylan Ryan joins the ranger forces hired by the trading post owners to protect their interests and learns first-hand the cruel savagery of a war fought not between soldiers, but also by the wives and children who stand by their men against a hostile enemy. Blood Trail is the first book of a series.

Download or read book Violence in the Hill Country written by Nicholas Keefauver Roland and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2021-02-09 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the nineteenth century, Texas’s advancing western frontier was the site of one of America’s longest conflicts between white settlers and native peoples. The Texas Hill Country functioned as a kind of borderland within the larger borderland of Texas itself, a vast and fluid area where, during the Civil War, the slaveholding South and the nominally free-labor West collided. As in many borderlands, Nicholas Roland argues, the Hill Country was marked by violence, as one set of peoples, states, and systems eventually displaced others. In this painstakingly researched book, Roland analyzes patterns of violence in the Texas Hill Country to examine the cultural and political priorities of white settlers and their interaction with the century-defining process of national integration and state-building in the Civil War era. He traces the role of violence in the region from the eve of the Civil War, through secession and the Indian wars, and into Reconstruction. Revealing a bitter history of warfare, criminality, divided communities, political violence, vengeance killings, and economic struggle, Roland positions the Texas Hill Country as emblematic of the Southwest of its time.

Download or read book Chevato written by William Chebahtah and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2007-01-01 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here is the oral history of the Apache warrior Chevato, who captured eleven-year-old Herman Lehmann from his Texas homestead in May 1870. Lehmann called him ?Bill Chiwat? and referred to him as both his captor and his friend. Chevato provides a Native American point of view on both the Apache and Comanche capture of children and specifics regarding the captivity of Lehmann known only to the Apache participants. Yet the capture of Lehmann was only one episode in Chevato?s life. ø Born in Mexico, Chevato was a Lipan Apache whose parents had been killed in a massacre by Mexican troops. He and his siblings fled across the Rio Grande and were taken in by the Mescalero Apaches of New Mexico. Chevato became a shaman and was responsible for introducing the Lipan form of the peyote ritual to both the Mescalero Apaches and later to the Comanches and the Kiowas. He went on to become one of the founders of the Native American Church in Oklahoma. ø The story of Chevato reveals important details regarding Lipan Apache shamanism and the origin and spread of the type of peyote rituals practiced today in the Native American community. This book also provides a rare glimpse into Lipan and Mescalero Apache life in the late nineteenth century, when the Lipans faced annihilation and the Mescaleros faced the reservation.

Book excerpt: J. B. (Red) Dunn's "Perilous Trails of Texas" gives us a unique perspective of the lawless 1870s in the Nueces Strip. Dunn was a participant in bloody encounters between Anglo South Texans and Mexican-Americans in the rough times after the Civil War. It was a time when general lawlessness pervaded the land, darkening the days and threatening the nights. Dunn was a Texas Ranger and hard-riding vigilante. In Dunn's time violence was ubiquitous. It was a time of undeclared warfare, a war of random encounter, with raids by bandits from across the border, with hide thieves roaming the cattle ranges and killing at will, followed by the punitive lynchings by minutemen vigilantes who were quick with the rope and the gun and left a trail of dead. In the wake of the most notorious outrages of the era, such as the robbery at Penascal and the Nuecestown Raid, John Dunn was there, armed and in the saddle, pistols ready and rifle loaded and heart full of vengeance."

Book excerpt: Inspired by the shocking true story of the Gunfight at Hide Park, this blazing Western novel by Spur Award–winner Johnny D. Boggs takes readers back to that fateful summer in 1871—when Newton, Kansas, became “the wickedest town in the west” . . . BLOODY NEWTON A decade before the legendary Gunfight at OK Corral, there was a much bloodier showdown with a much bigger body count—and Wichita Herald reporter Cindy Bagwell was there to see it all. At first, the fledgling journalist had no idea why her boss would send her to what hardly even passes for a town. But Texans, including trail boss Gary Hardee and his sons, are bringing longhorns to Kansas. And Newton aims to take over the cattle market. Hardee has his hands full—and that’s before he reaches Newton, where Texans and Kansans don’t get along. Tensions escalate from fisticuffs to brawling to fatal shootings in short order. But that’s just a warm-up. On August 19, 1871, in a gambling room at Tuttle’s dance hall in Hide Park, this powder keg of bad blood and bitterness between two rival groups explodes—with one young reporter, a restaurant owner, and Hardee’s sons caught in the middle . . . This is the story of the deadliest gunfight in the American West. Of the passionate men and women who fought for a piece of the American Dream. And of the ultimate price they’d have to pay . . .
