But the glory of the battlefield fades as Smith sees the three men die before his smoking guns. In a revenge shooting Pablo Grande is killed instead of Smith. Smith vows never to wear a gun nor be Santa Fe Smith again. Charles Smith III, dressed in eastern fashion goes west for the first time in his life to take the body of Pablo Grande to the Ute burial grounds in the Colorado Territory.

Victoria Huntington, a proud western girl is returning home on the same train with Smith to the Colorado Territory. In one short year, in an eastern finishing school for girls she has changed from being a cowhand sitting on a horse scratching a flea to a proper lady sitting in the parlor sipping tea. As she says, "from chasing a heifer to being a heifer." She is flirting with eastern men in her new found power of being a beautiful society woman. Every man is at her command except one man, named Charles Smith III, who pays her no mind, "must be a dumb steer " She thinks as she seeks refuge from her hurt feelings in reading the "Adventures of Santa Fe Smith" and her rejected heart wishes that "Santa Fe Smith would scare the pants off the greenhorn eastern man named Charles Smith III " All across America she tries to win his attention and falls in love with him even in his rejection to her flirtations. She discovers that he hates guns and she thinks he is an eastern weakling. She vows to turn away from her affections for Charles Smith and seek to find a western man like Santa Fe Smith - to carry her off into a western sunset. Henry G.

Book Lamy of Santa Fe

Download or read book Lamy of Santa Fe written by Paul Horgan and published by Wesleyan University Press. This book was released on 2015-07-08 with total page 558 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for History (1976). The extraordinary biography of a pioneer hero of the frontier Southwest from the author of Great River. Originally published in 1975, this Pulitzer Prize for History–winning biography chronicles the life of Archbishop Jean Baptiste Lamy (1814–1888), New Mexico’s first resident bishop and the most influential, reform-minded Catholic official in the region during the late 1800s. Lamy’s accomplishments, including the endowing of hospitals, orphanages, and English-language schools and colleges, formed the foundation of modern-day Santa Fe and often brought him into conflict with corrupt local priests. His life story, also the subject of Willa Cather’s Death Comes for the Archbishop, describes a pivotal period in the American Southwest, as Spanish and Mexican rule gave way to much greater influence from the United States and Europe. Historian and consummate stylist Paul Horgan has given us a chronicle filled with hardy, often extraordinary adventure, and sustained by Lamy’s magnificent strength of character. “Lamy of Santa Fe stands as a beacon in American biography.” —James M. Day, author of Paul Horgan “Lamy of Santa Fe is a classic work. Not only is the research exemplary but so is the narrative artistry, the work of history as art.” —Robert Gish, author of Nueva Granada: Paul Horgan and the Modern Southwest “Historians, and general readers as well, seeking vivid portrayal of the Southwest’s political, social and cultural traditions will find [this book] rewarding . . . the historical and literary heritage of Americans in general will be the richer for Mr. Horgan’s painstaking effort.” —Southwestern Historical Quarterly

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1822, before Jedediah Smith entered the West, it was largely an unknown land, “a wilderness,” he wrote, “of two thousand miles diameter.” During his nine years as a trapper for Ashley and Henry and later for the Rocky Mountain Fur Company, “the mild and Christian young man” blazed the trail westward through South Pass; he was the first to go from the Missouri overland to California, the first to cross the length of Utah and the width of Nevada, first to travel by land up through California and Oregon, first to cross the Sierra Nevada. Before his death on the Santa Fe Trail at the hands of the Comanches, Jed Smith and his partners had drawn the map of the west on a beaver skin.
