Download or read book Longhorns written by James Frank Dobie and published by Random House Value Publishing. This book was released on 1982 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Texas Longhorn made more history than any other breed of cattle the world has known. These wiry, intractable beasts were themselves pioneers in a harsh land, moving elementally with drouth, grass, Arctic blizzards, and burning winds. Their story is the bedrock on which the history of the cow country of America is founded. J. Frank Dobie was a tale spinner who appreciated the proper place of legend and folklore in history. In The Longhorns, he tells of the Spanish conquistadors, who brought their cattle with them; of ranching in the turbulent colonial times; of the cowboy, whose abandon, energy, insolence, and pride epitomized the booming West. He writes of terrifying stampedes, titantic bull fights on the range, ghost steers, and encounters with Indians. Copyright © Libri GmbH. All rights reserved.

Book excerpt: He was a man of two tribes and the Comanche blood that flowed in his veins was that of one of the most savage raiders of the south-west. But a white man had raised him and there was as much hate as duty mixed in with those years. They called him Blaine, a name known far and wide across Texas: a man who said little and who was willing to be judged by his actions. He worked hard and fought hard, essentially a loner with a void in his heart that could never be filled. Unless he killed the man who had raised him - a man to whom he owed everything. And Blaine always paid his debts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No One Knows Where the Longhorn Goes is an often wistful yet sometimes ornery compilation of cowboy poetry that juxtaposes the Old West with the modern world. It harkens back to a simpler era that helped to forge our country into a great nation. Yet like the legendary Texas longhorn of the title poem, this collection foreshadows the longhornas and Americaas innate dread of the end of a long trail, the loss of its own legacy, its sovereignty and even its way of life. And like the lonely longhorn, what is left of America and the West senses the end of something that will never come again as it lumbers off toward the darkening horizon, not knowing but understanding its true fate.

Working on her father's ranch for most of her life has made her tough as nails, but she does have one soft spot -- and his name is Paxton Callahan. And with Pax back in town, Alana's old feelings have returned with a vengeance. But she barely has time to process her attraction for the hunky cowboy before her father falls ill and presents her with an ultimatum. Alana's father wants her married and settled before he passes away, and she isn't about to break a dying man's heart. Paxton Callahan has been in love with Alana since . . . forever, and he's finally ready to stop running from his feelings. It's been ten years since he's seen the sexy cowgirl, and now that he's living next door, the electricity between them is about to set the whole Texas panhandle on fire. When Alana presents him with a crazy proposal -- to pretend to be her fiancé so her father can die in peace -- Paxton can't refuse. But as the faux-wedding day draws near, and her father's health improves, Alana and Paxton must decide whether to commit to the charade or finally admit their love is the real deal.
