Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The soul of a poet, the mind of a dreamer, Eyes that see visions afar. But her hands are the work-worn hands of a doer, The keeper of things that are. As a West Texas homesteader, Flora Smith Dean worked hard to provide for her children, yet still took time to grow flowers, sing songs, regale her children with stories of the old days, and read the Bible. Because her life was not easy, she penned most of her poems after a long day of hard work. Later in life, after her husband’s health issues, Flora tended the farm during the day while still writing poetry to capture stories of the past, express a connection with God, and elicit emotional memories of that era. In a collection of original poems compiled by her son, Joseph, and shared in thematic categories to best tell her story, others receive a candid glimpse into the lives of the early settlers in West Texas through her lyrical reflections and Joseph’s additional thoughts. Within her writings, Flora offers insight into the hardships she faced, her community, and faith and family connections, ultimately bringing to life a period that is often overlooked and oversimplified in modern times. Poems of West Texas Life is a collection of poems and insights by a descendent that share a candid glimpse into the experiences and hardships of an early settler in West Texas.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Stories and Poems of Western Texas For several years, and while at various occupations, I have been in the habit of writing either a story or poem on some striking occurrence or mode of life of Western Texas, always attempting to give a faithful delineation of life, whether attractive or not; and I have now mustered up the courage to issue a few of these in this small volume. So far as I know, but few things have been written about the country, which these stories attempt to describe, by native writers. Nearly all of these stories I have read were written by authors unacquainted with the people or the land of which they wrote. And to this is due, to a great extent, the erroneous impression entertained abroad concerning our country. These writers describe the inhabitants as uncultivated, lawless semi-barbarians. This belief has become so deeply rooted in even the bordering states, that it seems futile to attempt to claim anything like civilization or excellence for this country. Such may be taken as praise springing from undue patriotism, although all know that this country is settled by people from all the most enlightened nations of the globe. Whatever may be the merits or defects of these productions, I hope that they will be read with indulgence proportionate to the sincere intentions with which they are issued.

Book excerpt: When I was a boy my greatest joy Was a trip to the stables and corral To saddle up that little bay pony That felt so much like my pal He would nose around my pockets To see if I brought him a treat Then I would comb his mane and brush his tail And clean the dirt from his feet I would mount up and put him in a gallop His pleasure he could not hide He would bow his neck and prance like a steed To show his equine pride I felt like he was happy to carry me While he ran in the wind and the sun He would get a bucket of oats and a rub down After an hour of fun The smell of horses still gives me a thrill That has not changed in forty years They are truly Gods most beautiful creatures And they talk to me with their ears.
Download or read book Texas Trail Dust written by Roy Peterson and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-01-06 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Texas is a state of mind, as much as it is a significant geographical region. Cowboys rode dusty trails from San Angelo to El Paso avoiding Comanche Indians, wearing chaps to absorb cactus like the cholla whose prickly daggers seemed to jump at them, singing to keep themselves company, and telling tall tales around flickering campfires. Cowboy radio programs with heroes like Roy Rogers, Gene Autry, the Lone Ranger, and the Cisco Kid spurred my imagination before my family moved to Texas when I was a young teenager in the 1950's. Cowboy movies on television enhanced the folklore and lure of the Old West. Cowboys still ride out on their ranches to survey the cattle. Oil derricks still dot the landscape in West Texas. Honesty, integrity, and the fight for justice is still the code of the New West. This collection of poetry echoes the cultural values of the Old West, invigorates the senses with newer images of Rodeos, Ranches, and Wranglers, and relates stories that are as old as the campfires and as bright as a silver dollar. Legends include a retelling of Pecos Bill with faithful attention to the old timers tales; historical poems include retelling of what happened to the wagon train sent by Maximillian of Mexico across West Texas; hometown stories include that of Texas Trooper, Sammy Long, who was a local hero; and Pansy, the vaunted trapeze artist, who remained in my hometown after her husband died from a fall from the trapeze. All poems are originals that could have been the subject of past campfires and may be of future ones on the dusty trails of Texas that still exist, if not entirely in fact, at least in memory.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Claire Campbell draws from recent work in cultural history, landscape studies in geography and art history, and environmental history to explore what happens when external agendas confront local realities - a story central to the Canadian experience. Explorers, fishers, artists, and park planners all were forced to respond to the unique contours of this inland sea; their encounters defined a regional identity even as they constructed a popular image for the Bay in the national imagination."--Jacket.
