Miller and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-06 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Saddles and Lariats, the Largely True Story of the Bar-Circle, Outfit, and of Their Attempt to Take a Big Drove of Longhorns From Texas, to California, in the Days When, the Gold Fever Raged For three hundred years the Anglo-American, strong son of the Anglo-Saxon, has been engaged in conquering his three thousand miles of wilderness. But at last his giant's task is ended. No more remains any region between the two oceans that deserves the name of wilderness. And with that conquest has ended the pioneer life - such a life as the world never saw before. And certainly the world shall not look upon its like again. Already the explorer, the Indian trader, the hunter and trapper, the cowboy, the settler with an axe in one hand and a rifle in the other, have followed the war-painted savage into the dimming, shadowy past. While the life that is is better, it can never be so picturesque as was the rude, homely life of the frontiersman. And the farther we travel from that simple life, both in time and ways of living, the more we shall love to read of it and talk of it, and the more, it may be, we shall regret that it has gone from us forever. Of all the wild life in America, none was so striking as that to be seen along the great wilderness trails - the emigrant trails and the cattle trails. And in picturesqueness nothing could surpass those vast droves of horned steers, with their overhanging dust-clouds, their shouting, galloping cowboy drivers, and their attending wagon-trains, which, now nearly two generations ago, tramped the thousands of miles from Texas, the land of cattle, to California, the land of gold.

Download or read book The Longhorns written by James Frank Dobie and published by . This book was released on 1941 with total page 387 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Texas Longhorn made more history than any breed of cattle the world has known-- and exciting history it is! The Longhorns were more than a breed-- they were a race apart. Gaunt, wiry, intractable, they were themselves pioneers in a hard, strange land. This is their story, told by a born teller of tales, who knows that legend and folklore are proper parts of history. It is the story, too, of the men the Longhorn brought into being-- the Texas cowboys who rode over the rim with all the energy, insolence and pride of the booming West. Mr. Dobie tells of the Spanish conquistadores, who brought their cattle with them; of ranching in turbulent Colonial times; of "Mavericks and Maverickers" and the abrupt justice of the rope. He catches the terrible excitement of the stampede, the poetry of the play of lightning on a sea of seething horns. He writes absorbingly of titanic bull fights on the range, "ghost" steers, fabulous treks and Indian torture. The twilight of the Longhorn has fallen. The noble breed is nearer extinction than the buffalo ever was. Yet in this rousing chronicle the great days of the Longhorn live again, a brave and surging part of our national heritage -- Back cover.

Download or read book Under the Volcano written by Malcolm Lowry and published by New Amer Library. This book was released on 1984 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Geoffrey Firmin, a former British consul, has come to Quauhnahuac, Mexico. His debilitating malaise is drinking, an activity that has overshadowed his life. On the most fateful day of the consul's life--the Day of the Dead, 1938--his wife, Yvonne, arrives in Quauhnahuac, inspired by a vision of life together away from Mexico and the circumstances that have driven their relationship to the brink of collapse. She is determined to rescue Firmin and their failing marriage, but her mission is further complicated by the presence of Hugh, the consul's half brother, and Jacques, a childhood friend. The events of this one significant day unfold against an unforgettable backdrop of a Mexico at once magical and diabolical. Under the Volcano remains one of literature's most powerful and lyrical statements on the human condition, and a brilliant portrayal of one man's constant struggle against the elemental forces that threaten to destroy him.
Download or read book The Mythical West written by Richard W. Slatta and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2001-11-20 with total page 475 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This cultural journey down memory lane showcases how major Western figures, events, and places have been portrayed in folk legends, art, literature, and popular culture. Ever since the days of the 49ers and George Armstrong Custer, the Old West has been America's most potent source of legend. But it is sometimes hard to separate fact from fiction. Did you know, for example, that Annie Oakley was a talented marksman who shot an estimated 40,000 rounds per year while practicing and performing for Buffalo Bill Cody's Wild West Show in the late l800s? Or that many interpreters believe that The Wonderful Wizard of Oz is not just a fairy tale, but also a Populist allegory? These are just two of the folk legends dissected and examined in this veritable cultural geography. The volume covers everything from billionaire Howard Hughes and composer Aaron Copeland to Aztlan (the legendary first city of the Aztecs) and Area 51, the top-secret U.S. Air Force base at Groom Lake, Nevada, that has fascinated UFO and conspiracy buffs.
