Download or read book Sam Bass written by Bryan Woolley and published by TCU Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of Sam Bass, both outlaw and romantic figure, has become a familiar part of Texas folklore and is well documented in nonfiction. But in this novel, Bryan Woolley creates a compelling story by giving the antihero fictional life. Woolley brings Bass alive through six alternating voices--Maude, the whore who was Bass's lover; Mary Matson, the African American who took him in and tended him as he lay dying; Dad Egan, the lawman who was once a father-figure to young Sam Bass but feels compelled to capture the outlaw; Frank Johnson, who rode with Bass but left the outlaw life to reappear as a small-town doctor; and Jim Murphy, the well-meaning saloonkeeper who makes a bargain with the law and brings down Sam Bass. In shaping the Bass story, Woolley explores the themes of youth and age, impulse and wisdom. An outlaw, for many of us, is not a villain or a criminal but someone who, by choice or circumstance, finds himself at odds with society. We see the outlaw life as one of carefree freedom without responsibilities and full of infinite possibilities. Frank Jackson says it best as he recalls riding with Sam Bass: "I felt like an outlaw but not like a criminal, and the beauty of the day and its freedom filled me."

Download or read book American Urban Form written by Sam Bass Warner, Jr. and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2012-02-24 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An illustrated history of the American city's evolution from sparsely populated village to regional metropolis. American Urban Form—the spaces, places, and boundaries that define city life—has been evolving since the first settlements of colonial days. The changing patterns of houses, buildings, streets, parks, pipes and wires, wharves, railroads, highways, and airports reflect changing patterns of the social, political, and economic processes that shape the city. In this book, Sam Bass Warner and Andrew Whittemore map more than three hundred years of the American city through the evolution of urban form. They do this by offering an illustrated history of “the City”—a hypothetical city (constructed from the histories of Boston, Philadelphia, and New York) that exemplifies the American city's transformation from village to regional metropolis. In an engaging text accompanied by Whittemore's detailed, meticulous drawings, they chart the City's changes. Planning for the future of cities, they remind us, requires an understanding of the forces that shaped the city's past.

Download or read book Restorative Gardens written by Nancy Gerlach-Spriggs and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 1998-01-01 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Restorative gardens for the sick, which were a vital part of the healing process from the Middle Ages to the early twentieth century, provided ordered and beautiful settings in which patients could begin to heal, both physically and mentally. In this engaging book, a landscape architect, a physician, and a historian examine the history and role of restorative gardens to show why it is important to again integrate nature into the institutional--and largely factorylike--settings of modern health care facilities. In this unique book, Nancy Gerlach-Spriggs, Dr. Richard Enoch Kaufman, and Sam Bass Warner, Jr., unfold their argument by presenting the history of restorative gardens and studies of six American health care centers that cherish the role of their gardens in the therapeutic process. These institutions are examined in detail: community hospitals in Wausau, Wisconsin, and Monterey, California; a full-care mental institution in Philadelphia; a nursing home in Queens; a facility for rehabilitative medicine in New York City; and a hospice in Houston. In their comprehensive review the authors suggest that contemporary scientific understanding clearly recognizes the beneficial physiological effects of garden environments on patients’ well-being. The book ends with a plea to make gardens--rather than the shopping mall atria so often seen in newly renovated hospitals--a vital part of the medical milieu.

Book excerpt: Winner takes all. Wanted: Sam Bass introduces the daring exploits of Paul Colt’s Great Western Detective League. In the lawless expanses of the late 1800s West, these bold crime fighters rival the infamous Pinkerton Agency, taking on the most treacherous outlaws and impossible cases. Sam Bass's infamous reign of terror began in 1877 with a staggering twenty-thousand-dollar stagecoach heist, quickly followed by a sixty-thousand-dollar train robbery. Desperate to stop Bass and his ruthless gang, Wells Fargo and the Union Pacific Railroad turn to rival detectives. Enter David J. Colonel Crook and his maverick band of law enforcement professionals whose unconventional methods specialize in crossing jurisdictions no one else can. Among them is Briscoe Cane, a cunning and deadly bounty hunter tasked with capturing Bass, and Beau Longstreet, a Pinkerton agent who uses his charm and wit to extract information from even the cagiest of sources. As Cane relentlessly dogs the gang’s trail, Longstreet gathers intelligence from his network of female informants. With a fortune in reward money on the line, the two detectives engage in a high-stakes, winner-take-all hunt, culminating in a bloody showdown in a dusty Texas town. Amidst the gunfights and peril, though, Cane and Longstreet forge an unexpected alliance, proving that even in the wild West, camaraderie can bloom in the unlikeliest of places. Join the Great Western Detective League on a relentless adventure filled with danger, deception, and dynamic duels in pursuit of one the most dangerous outlaws and desperados in the West.
