Download or read book If I Can Do It Horseback written by John Hendrix and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2014-12-15 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Hendrix drew upon his own varied experiences for this panoramic view of West Texas ranch life, presented here in an integral compilation of flavorful articles written originally for The Cattleman. Touching upon virtually every facet of the cattle industry, they examine economic influences and technological changes as well as the personal and emotional aspects of range life. Here are accurate, detailed, fascinating descriptions of the day-to-day life of the cowboy, the chuck-wagon cook, the range boss: narratives rich in human interest, in pathos, comedy, drama. Some tell of the organization and operation of the cow camp: the activities of the men, their duties and their entertainments, the clothes they wore, the food they ate, the horses they rode, the language they spoke. Some compare West Texas cattle-handling techniques with those of other sectors, or contrast early techniques with later practices. Others give biographies of cattlemen and cowboys. Still others study the operation, development, problems, and achievements of typical ranches of various types: the early open-range ranches, the large ranches which successfully made the transition to modem operation, the unsuccessful company-owned ranches of the 1880s, the pioneer cattle-feeding projects. Several articles describe the geography of the West Texas cattle country: the vast, arid expanses; the brown-green hills and Cap Rock; the life-giving springs; and the fickle weather. These are all considered in terms of their physical appearance and emotional impact, their importance as economic factors, and their effect on the duties of the cowboys. Written in direct language and savoring of the life they describe, these articles capture the beauty of the cattle country—as well as its violence, hardships, drudgery. John Hendrix’s affection for the land, the people, and the life gives his writing a special warmth that his readers are sure to recognize and admire. Texas artist Malcolm Thurgood has provided delightful illustrations for the text, and Wayne Gard, author of The Chisholm Trail and The Great Buffalo Hunt, has written a valuable introduction.

Download or read book The Dickens Boy written by Thomas Keneally and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2022-03-08 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The award-winning author of modern classics such as Schindler’s List and Napoleon’s Last Island is at his triumphant best with this “engrossing and transporting” (Financial Times) novel about the adventures of Charles Dickens’s son in the Australian Outback during the 1860s. Edward Dickens, the tenth child of England’s most famous author Charles Dickens, has consistently let his parents down. Unable to apply himself at school and adrift in life, the teenaged boy is sent to Australia in the hopes that he can make something of himself—or at least fail out of the public eye. He soon finds himself in the remote Outback, surrounded by Aboriginals, colonials, ex-convicts, ex-soldiers, and very few women. Determined to prove to his parents and more importantly, himself, that he can succeed in this vast and unfamiliar wilderness, Edward works hard at his new life amidst various livestock, bushrangers, shifty stock agents, and frontier battles. By reimagining the tale of a fascinating yet little-known figure in history, this “roguishly tender coming-of-age story” (Booklist) offers penetrating insights into Colonialism and the fate of Australia’s indigenous people, and a wonderfully intimate portrait of Charles Dickens, as seen through the eyes of his son.

Download or read book Bracebridge Hall written by Washington Irving and published by . This book was released on 2022-05-17 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Washington Irving's 'Bracebridge Hall, or The Humorists, A Medley' intricately weaves narrative threads together in a tapestry that portrays the vibrant social panorama of an English manor hall in the early 19th century. Written with the delicate touch of Irving's keen observation and droll wit, this collection of character sketches and interlinked stories reveals the customs, characters, and comedic quirks of the British gentry and their servants. With its episodic nature and format evocative of the grand literary tradition of Chaucer and the personal anecdotal charm reminiscent of Sterne, 'Bracebridge Hall' advances the genre of the sketch narrative into a rich exploration of culture and personality, presented through the inviting persona of his pseudonym, Geoffrey Crayon. Irving, an American author whose international sojourns greatly influenced his writings, was steeped in the literary, historical, and societal contexts of both his native and foreign residences. His experiences in England are vividly etched into the vignettes of 'Bracebridge Hall', embodying the enthusiasm and the curiosity of his diverse literary excursions. Irving often blurred the lines between fiction and reportage, drawing upon his travel encounters, literary scholarship, and the unique insights from his later diplomatic career which included a tenure as the U.S. ambassador to Spain. 'Bracebridge Hall' is more than an idle heirloom of literary history; it is a delightful journey into the heart of English country life through the lens of an American luminary. Scholars and enthusiasts of classic literature will find Irving's perception and craftsmanship rewarding, while modern readers will appreciate the universal themes of love, society, and human nature. With its rich tableau of characters and satirical edge, this novel promises a vivid slice of cultural exploration and remains a relevant and fascinating read, embodying the timeless essence of storytelling.
