Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Wyoming Frontier meets its match in a tough as nails cowpuncher and cattleman named William Pendleton Ricketts. "A natural book with much interesting information. It contains the best account of trailing cattle from Oregon to Wyoming that I have seen." -J. Frank Dobie William Pendleton Ricketts was a cowboy and cattleman to his core. Heading west at a young age from his parent’s home in Kentucky he ended up in the beautiful wilds of Wyoming. Starting out a cowpuncher learning the trade he battled Indians, Outlaw Broncs, Harsh Winters, and anything that the Wyoming range could throw at him. Later in life he owned several ranches around Gillette “The toughest cow-town on the map.” The Sunnyside Ranch and Rawhide Ranch ran thousands of head of cattle in the area. An extremely harsh winter in the year of 1886 taught him a valuable lesson after losing over 75 percent of the herd. Ricketts was one of the first cattleman in the area to put up hay for the winter. He never suffered a serious loss of any magnitude afterwards. He became an honorary life member of the Wyoming Stockgrowers association. Ultimately settling down in Sheridan, Wyoming, W.P. Ricketts lived the frontier as few have. He shares his experiences here in Fifty Years in the Saddle with a truth that can be felt through the ages. This is the western frontier at its finest. From the Foreword: To qualify as a true western cattleman, one must be able to meet the reverses in life as cheerfully as the good things; in this Mr. W. P. Ricketts, who is the author of “Fifty Years In The Saddle” has amply proved himself. On October 6, 1920, Mr. Ricketts fell from a stock-yards fence while shipping cattle to Omaha. This accident resulted in the loss of his left limb. Later he lost the sight of both eyes. To an active man, these were heavy blows, but in his reaction to them Mr. Ricketts proved his right to the title of a true western cattleman. Then as a climax, his wife, Johannah B. Ricketts, passed away in 1941, two years after the completion of the writing of this book. She had been his constant companion and nurse during his years of affliction, and carried out his wishes. In spite of all these reverses, Mr. Ricketts, now 83 years of age, is never too low in spirits to relish a good cowboy yarn; he is still actively interested in all that goes on about him. In 1942 he attended the Gillette convention of the Wyoming Stockgrowers Association, of which he has been a member for 62 years and is an honorary life member. He attended the Birney rodeo on July 4, 1942, and displayed a lively interest in events there.

These selected paragraphs distill the contents and give you a quick look inside In The Saddle: Look inside the book: But if Captain Titus's family was without money, it could be only a temporary matter, for he could hardly have exhausted his twenty thousand dollars in stocks and cash, though it was well known that he had contributed five thousand dollars for the purchase of arms and ammunition to be used by his company of Home Guards, which had now moved south to join the Confederate army. ...If you like soldiering without pay or rations, Sandy, you can join the company again as soon as you like; but when you catch me there, you will find a Kentuckian without any eye-teeth,' replied Orly, who was only two years younger than his brother, and was considered the brighter boy of the two; and his tones and his manner were vigorous enough to indicate that he meant all he said. ...But he died at the age of fifty, and bequeathed his property, consisting of a large plantation, which he had named Riverlawn, because it had a delightful lawn, with great trees scattered over it, though after the English fashion with none immediately in front of the large mansion, to his two brothers and the children of one deceased ten years before his death.

Download or read book Human Rights Fifty Years On written by Tony Evans and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 1998-11-15 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a critical reappraisal of the project for universal human rights. The twentieth, thirtieth and fortieth anniversaries of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights were all marked by the publication of volumes that celebrated achievements in the field of human rights. Many of these took a self-congratulatory line that emphasized progress on the protection of human rights, ignoring the facts of torture, genocide, structural deprivation and the routine exclusion of some groups from political, economic and social participation. This book brings together some of the leading critics of the current project for universal human rights, including Noam Chomsky and Johan Galtung, as a counterweight to triumphalist approaches on the fiftieth anniversary of the Declaration.
