Download or read book Three Forks written by Tom Marlin and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2001-04-23 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Early Reviews of the Book: "Rich in historical detail and characterization . . . A fascinating glimpse of life in early 19th century Dallas and North Texas!" -- Teresa Warfield, author of the Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman trilogy and eight other novels "Three Forks is an evocative novel of early North Texas. Tom Marlin tells a compelling story of the conflict between the Caddo Tribe and the early frontier settlers, encompassing the myriad emotions and complexities of the people who struggled in opposition to forge a life on the rugged Texas frontier." -- Jacky Sach, co-founder of Book Ends, LLC and former senior managing editor at Berkley Books (later Penguin Putnam Inc.) About the Book: The novel follows the trails of Jake Chalk, a young settler conscripted into the Texas Militia in 1838, and his bitter enemy, Black Wolf, a Caddo war chief. Both are driven by revenge and their inevitable confrontation becomes a mutual obsession. Jake meets and fights beside many men for whom several of today's North Texas counties, cities and universities are named. While coming of age, Jake grows to be a fierce Militia fighter, courts a beautiful young woman, helps build a frontier fort and is instrumental in settling a new city named Dallas. More than a western novel and written in the entertaining, historical docudrama style of John Jakes and James Michener, Three Forks: a Novel of Texas tells the exciting story of the events preceding the settlement of North Texas, and the founding of Dallas in 1842. The novel takes the reader back in time to walk among and meet the famous historical figures who helped build Texas in the 1830s and 1840s. Researched in many cases to the original document level, the novel not only details the history of an area once called "Three Forks," but also provides perspective on the fascinating historic events that occurred throughout the Republic of Texas, and led to its subsequent acceptance as a US state. Three Forks, named for the confluence of the three main forks of the Trinity River, was a huge block of land in North Texas that today is larger than thirty-six individual US states in population, and nine states in geographical area. It is the home of the world's largest airport, and includes major US cities such as Dallas, Fort Worth and their rapidly growing surrounding cities. Despite the significance of this area, its fascinating history, spanning 1836 to 1846, is frequently overlooked. This period follows the fall of the Alamo and the Texans' victory at San Jacinto, which leads to freedom from Mexico. As a result, The Republic of Texas is formed - an entire country separate from the United States. The period ends as Texas achieves US statehood, and the US goes to war with Mexico. Even more overlooked in this period are the conflicts between the Texas Militia in Northeast Texas and many Native American tribes. Brutal attacks by both sides result in many deaths. Terror reigns throughout North Texas settlements and Native American villages. The dispute is over Three Forks, with its beautiful forests, rolling green hills and grassy plains. Tom Marlin's experience and renown as an artist presents itself in his writing. Through well-crafted prose and dialogues from many cultures, he paints word landscapes and panoramas similar to those found in the works of Zane Gray. Despite the serious drama of military battles and human conflict, romance and humor permeate a revealing story that will both entertain and inform the reader. The novel also contains nine fully illustrated maps.

Book excerpt: From acclaimed storyteller Charles G. West, the Spur Award-winning adventure that first introduced the legend of John Hawk, an army scout with a tracker’s eye, a cowboy’s grit—and his own brand of justice . . . "Rarely has an author painted the great American West in strokes so bold, vivid, and true." —Ralph Compton To start their new life together, Jamie Pratt and his young bride join a westward wagon train bound for the Rocky Mountains. They get as far as Helena when their unscrupulous wagon master deserts them, leaving them as good as dead in a godforsaken, blood-scorched land. The other settlers agree to set stakes where they are, but Jamie and his bride press on toward the Bitterroot Valley, deep into Sioux territory. Jamie’s brother, Monroe, enlists the legendary scout, John Hawk, to find them. A hardened veteran of the range, Hawk is living off the land in a little cabin on the Boulder River when Monroe comes begging for his help. To rescue Jamie and his bride, Hawk—and his guns—will come out fighting, riding fast and fierce into deadly odds. For any other man it’s a suicide mission. For Hawk, delivering justice is what he was born to do . . . Winner of the 2018 Spur Award for Best Paperback Western
