He wore top-boots, a two-piece business suit, a flannel shirt -no necktie - and a moderately broad white felt hat, but not of the sombrero variety; and he smoked a pipe.

Download or read book The Story of the Cowboy Classic Reprint written by Emerson Hough and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-12 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of the Cowboy IN a certain Western city there is the studio of a sculptor whose ambition in life has been to perpetuate the memory of the West. He has sought to put into lasting form the types of that unique and rugged era of our national growth when the soldier and plains man, the Indian and the cowboy were the citizens of that vast and unknown region. In the following out of that idea he has made in clay and bronze many things entitled to be called curious and beautiful. It is the fancy of this artist at times to take some of these forms and play at pictures with them for the entertainment Of his guests. A revolving pedestal is placed in the centre of the room in such way that the light of the fire or of the candles may cast a shadow from it upon the farther wall. Upon the pedestal is placed some figure which appears much magnified upon the white surface beyond, albeit somewhat blurred and softened in its lines. Now it is the likeness of the grizzly bear, now that of the buffalo, while again one sees the lean gray wolf, the tense figure of the flying antelope, or the reaching neck and cut chin of the panther. At one time a mounted Indian may flit upon the wall, or the soldier with sabre and spur. These things, curious and beautiful, form a wild and moving spectacle, coming as they do from a time which may now almost be said to belong to the past.

With twenty-six stories that blend fact with folklore, this collection abounds with accounts of the famous and the infamous, including Sacagawea, Wild Bill Hickok, Pancho Villa, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Davy Crockett, and Wyatt Earp. Also here are lesser-known figures whose stories were pivotal to shaping the culture of the era, such as European conquistador Francisco Coronado, rancher “Black Billy” Hill, and fearless lawman Orlando “Rube” Robbins. Other tales recount the wide open plains, lawlessness, drama, mayhem, and promise embodied in the Old West. Whether you’re a history buff, an Old West devotee, or simply someone who is fascinated by the characters of America’s early years, these timeless tales and photographs epitomize the legendary spirit of what it meant to settle the West.

Download or read book War Hammers I written by Brian Belton and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2014-08-04 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book tells the fascinating story of West Ham United Football Club during the First World War, charting the relationship between war and football by following the pursuits of West Ham from 1913/14 to 1918/19. In many ways, it was their success in wartime competitions that led to them being accepted into the Football League in 1919, paving the way for subsequent FA Cup and League success. As well as a football story, this book is about the impact of the war on Britain. It documents the social implications of war on Londoners and the social and political influence of football, the armed forces and civilians alike. Looking closely at the 13th Service Battalion, also known as the ‘West Ham Pals’, the book includes such players as George Kay, Ted Hufton, and their manager and coach, Syd King and Charlie Paynter respectively.

Download or read book Redskin and Cow Boy written by G. A. Henty and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-20 with total page 442 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Redskin and Cow-Boy: A Tale of the Western Plains There are but few words of preface needed to a story that is not historical. The principal part of the tale is laid among the cow-boys of the Western States of America, a body of men unrivalled in point of hardihood and devotion to work, as well as in reckless courage and wild daring. Texas, which twenty-five years ago was the great ranching state, is no longer the home of the typical cow-boy, but he still exists and flour ishes in New Mexico and the northern States and Territories. The picture I have given of their life can be relied upon, and its adventures and dangers are in no degree coloured, as I have taken them from the lips of a near relative of my own who was for some years working as a cow-boy in New Mexico. He was an actor in many of the scenes described, and so far from my having heightened or embellished them, I may say that I have given but a small proportion of the perilous adventures through which he went, for had I given them in full it would, I am sure, have seemed to you that the story was too improbable to be true. In treating of cow-boy life, indeed, it may well be said that truth is stranger than fiction. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

After the discovery of the famous 'eureka' lead, there was the usual influx of gamblers and saloon-keepers - but that was accepted as a matter Of course. But it was thought hard that, after a church was built, and a new school erected, it should suddenly be found necessary to have doors that locked, instead of standing shamelessly Open to the criticism and temptation of wayfarers, or that portable property could no longer be left out at night in the Old fond reliance on universal brotherhood.

Said the president of the Arcadia street-railway, proudly waving his umbrella at arches, gables, Renaissance turrets, Early English buttresses, and a motley company of terra-cotta bedizenments, friezes, parapets, and finials on the new facades, which looked, amid the cheap wooden shops and dry-goods box architecture of a former day, as if they had strayed into the town and did not know the way out. How 's that for building? He cried, lunging his umbrella enthusiasti cally into the eye of a passer-by. Beg pardon, ma'am. Oh, Mrs. Crowe! Going out? Oh, plenty of time. Now, there 's a woman 's made most fifteen thousand dollars in real estate this last year - jest a woman! Old Rolfe 's made thirty, an' Curwin an' Bragg as much again; an' T. J.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 'Wild West' stories of Dodge City, Deadwood, and Tombstone pale in comparison to the incredible story of Las Vegas, New Mexico, for decades considered the most violent community on America's western frontier. In Wildest of the Wild West, popular Western historian Howard Bryan provides a spirited account of the violent, melodramatic, and often bizarre events that centred in and around this small Hispanic farm and ranching community from 1835 to 1915.
