Download or read book The Pinto Horse and the Phantom Bull written by Charles E. Perkins and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 1998-06-01 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1927 Owen Wister called The Pinto Horse “the best western story about a horse that I have ever read.” The pinto roamed the Montana range in the late 1880s, surviving wolves and blizzards and earning the respect of the herd but never blending in, always standing out in vulnerable perfection. After years of trusting to human kindness, he falls into the hands of fools. The Phantom Bull, first published in 1932, is also marked by authenticity and controlled beauty of style. Old Man Ennis, who ranched on the upper Madison in Montana, grudgingly admired the slate-colored Zebu cow, whose wild cunning was passed on to her calf. The calf grows into a monster bull, not personified but endowed with the suggestion of a definite point of view. A phantom glimpsed against the horizon—that is the image he leaves.

Download or read book Call of the Burro written by P. J. Day and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2022-08-25 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author, P. J. Day and his two brothers and two sisters grew up in the magical valley of Tesuque (Tazookey), located about five miles north of Santa Fe, New Mexico. One of the family pets was a little gray burro they had named Pedro, who was less than a year old when he came to live with them. While reminiscing about that marvelous childhood Christmas Day 2001, P.J. wrote a short poem for his daughter, placing Pedro smack dab in the middle of the very first Christmas. A Burro’s Tale evolved from that poem and Call of the Burro is the continuation of that story. The setting for Call of the Burro is also the Tesuque Valley, and in addition to most of the original burros from the first story, there are now three new little baby burro’s and one additional new adult burro. Call of the Burro takes place 12 years after the original story. The three mischievous little youngsters in Call of the Burro narrowly escape a life and death situation with the help of an unexpected hero. As in A Burro’s Tale, Call of the Burro is filled with many life lessons for teenagers and young adults and throughout the story, when tested, it’s about doing the right thing. Woven within the story is yet another occasion in which Pedro must find the courage to do the right thing and to once again come to the aid of the Holy Family in their time of need.

Download or read book Hole in the Sky written by William Kittredge and published by Vintage. This book was released on 1993-06-01 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: William Kittredge's stunning memoir is at once autobiography, a family chronicle, and a Westerner's settling of accounts with the land he grew up in. This is the story of a grandfather whose single-minded hunger for property won him a ranch the size of Delaware but estranged him from his family; of a father who farmed with tractors and drainage ditches but consorted with movie stars; and of Kittredge himself, who was raised by cowboys and saw them become obsolete, who floundered through three marriages, hard drinking, and madness before becoming a writer. Host hauntingly, Hole in the Sky is an honest reckoning of the American myth that drove generations of Americans westward -- and what became of their dream after they reached the edge.

Book excerpt: An American Legends Collection The novel is rife with gun-smokin’ action, and Hud is the perfect, back-country narrator for this story of social injustice. His wizened, grizzled point of view flirts with the possibility of a tragic flaw in the evasive character of Billy Pinto. Hands-down a gripping read!—Historical Novel Society In 1904, sixteen-year-old Billy Pinto watches as the three men accused of murdering his Shoshone mother are set free because the judge and prosecuting attorney don’t believe they can successfully try white men for killing an Indian. Stunned by the court’s decision, Billy decides to take justice into his own hands. He ambushes the three killers outside of town, then impulsively kidnaps the judge’s granddaughter before fleeing into the remote San Pedro Mountains. With Billy’s actions setting off a massive manhunt, it falls to San Pedro County Sheriff Hudson Pratt to locate Billy before he’s cornered in the high country by a growing army of bounty hunters. With an aging mountain man and his surly dog as guides, Pratt sets out to rescue the kidnapped child—and to stop the rising tide of bloodshed that threatens to plunge San Pedro County into a full-fledged Indian war.
