Book excerpt: MASTER OF HER BODY When fiery-tempered Cimarron escaped Fandango, Texas, in the pouring rain, all she could think of was how no one would believe she had killed her uncle in self-defense. Then, on a lonely stretch of cattle country, she ran smack into an arrogant, black-haired cowboy. . . and the innocent blonde realized she was in more trouble than she could handle. His ebony eyes glowed with curiosity and desire; his sinewy body stalked her with animal intent. As her breathing quickened and her pulse raced, the half-Indian beauty was terrified of being captured—and yearning to be caught! MISTRESS OF HIS HEART Having learned never to trust a woman, the virile vaquero Trace didn't buy the gorgeous dame's story about getting lost in the dark. She had something to hide—and the hard-muscled ranchhand was determined to find out what it was no matter what. He easily trapped her in his experienced hands, skillfully explored her silken curves. . . but when she surprised him with the intensity of her response, Trace decided his investigation of her lies could wait. Now was the time to unleash the hidden sensuality of this spirited filly, and forever make her his she-cat, his hot-blooded CHEYENNE PRINCESS.

Download or read book Crazy Horse written by Kingsley M. Bray and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2014-10-30 with total page 529 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Crazy Horse was as much feared by tribal foes as he was honored by allies. His war record was unmatched by any of his peers, and his rout of Custer at the Little Bighorn reverberates through history. Yet so much about him is unknown or steeped in legend. Crazy Horse: A Lakota Life corrects older, idealized accounts—and draws on a greater variety of sources than other recent biographies—to expose the real Crazy Horse: not the brash Sioux warrior we have come to expect but a modest, reflective man whose courage was anchored in Lakota piety. Kingsley M. Bray has plumbed interviews of Crazy Horse’s contemporaries and consulted modern Lakotas to fill in vital details of Crazy Horse’s inner and public life. Bray places Crazy Horse within the rich context of the nineteenth-century Lakota world. He reassesses the war chief’s achievements in numerous battles and retraces the tragic sequence of misunderstandings, betrayals, and misjudgments that led to his death. Bray also explores the private tragedies that marred Crazy Horse’s childhood and the network of relationships that shaped his adult life. To this day, Crazy Horse remains a compelling symbol of resistance for modern Lakotas. Crazy Horse: A Lakota Life is a singular achievement, scholarly and authoritative, offering a complete portrait of the man and a fuller understanding of his place in American Indian and United States history.

Download or read book The Great Platte River Road written by Merrill J. Mattes and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 1987-01-01 with total page 646 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Great Platte River Road through Nebraska and Wyoming was the grand corridor of America's westward expansion. A number of famous trails converged in the broad valley of the Platte, forming a kind of primitive superhighway for the great covered wagon migration from 1841 to 1866. From jumping-off places along the Missouri River?notably the Omaha-Council Bluffs, St. Joseph, and Kansas City areas?the emigrant throngs came together at Fort Kearny, Nebraska. Although they continued on to South Pass, Wyoming, and beyond, this book focuses on the feeder mutes and the more than three hundred miles between Fort Kearny and Fort Laramie. The Great Platte River Road looks at border towns, trail routes, river crossings, stage stations, military posts, and such landmarks as Chimney Rock and Scott's Bluff. It goes far beyond geography and Indian encounters in revealing cultural aspects of the great migration: food, dress, equipment, organization, camping, traffic patterns, sex ratios, morals, manners, religion, crime, accidents, disease, death, and burial customs.

Download or read book Marriage and Inequality in Classless Societies written by Jane Fishburne Collier and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 1993-02-01 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study presents three ideal-typic models for analyzing inequality in kin-based, non-stratified societies that are commonly described as bands, tribes or ranked societies (but not chiefdoms). Each model discusses the organization of inequality associated with a particular way of validating marriages. The book is a serious and complex attempt to understand the bases and dynamics of inequality in classless societies. It offers a sophisticated argument for the position that there is a culturally-structured basis for women's universal subordination. An important strength of Collier's theoretical interpretation is that it makes the case for universality of subordination without slipping into biological reductionism.

Download or read book Cheyenne s Cans written by Ivy Maxwell and published by Ivy Maxwell. This book was released on 2021-07-18 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Val has enjoyed the steamy benefits of her relationship with her nerdy boyfriend, Tim—the way he pumps up her freckled jugs to ridiculous sizes and swells her muscles until she’s thick and tight—but in the back of mind, she has always felt like something is missing. Like she’s not enough. Perhaps, Val wonders, it is because she has been a cripple for years. Are those countless hours spent pounding iron at the gym really just a desperate effort to compensate for the cane she depends on, or her lame, scarred leg that doctors say will never work right again? How can a 20-year-old woman be so fit and attractive yet walk—or rather, limp—around harboring such humiliation? Especially when she used to be such a legendary athlete? Sometimes the shame is more than the busty redhead can bear. Then one day Val wakes up healed. She can run, she can jump, she can train without restraint. Her head spins with ambition. She enters the Bayou Brawl, a track-and-field competition that pits Val against the biggest, baddest female athletes around. Her body in peak form, Val thinks winning will be simple. But things are never simple when the growth power is involved. There are a few problems standing in Val’s way more daunting than mere hurdles and high-jumps: • It wasn’t her boyfriend that healed her . . . but another man that schemes to win over the gorgeous ginger’s heart. • Sleeping within Val is an ancient evil that dreams of world domination . . . and it’s finally waking up. • Her boyfriend thinks with his you-know-what rather than his brain most of the time . . . and there’s no telling how he’ll use his growth powers when the going gets tough. Sure, Tim promised Val he wouldn’t interfere with the competition by growing her muscles to give her an advantage. But what happens when it’s Val’s athletic rival Cheyenne who unexpectedly grows big, dripping jugs that expand more and more, the creamy cans hindering her progress slowly but surely in the grand race for first place? Could Tim really be that dumb? Probably. But as Val knows firsthand . . . appearances can be deceiving. This story is Book 6 of an erotic romance series featuring egregious breast expansion and female muscle growth.
