Book excerpt: A month had passed, a swift-flying time full of new life. Wonderful it was for me to think I was stillin Diane Sampson's employ.It was the early morning hour of a day in May. The sun had not yet grown hot. Dew like diamonddrops sparkled on the leaves and grass. The gentle breeze was clear, sweet, with the song of larksupon it.And the range, a sea of gray-green growing greener, swept away westward in rolling ridges andhollows, like waves to meet the dark, low hills that notched the horizon line of blue.I was sitting on the top bar of the corral fence and before me stood three saddled horses that wouldhave gladdened any eye. I was waiting to take the young ladies on their usual morning ride.Once upon a time, in what seemed the distant past to this eventful month, I had flattered myselfthere had been occasions for thought, but scornfully I soliloquized that in those days I had no cuefor thought such as I had now.This was one of the moments when my real self seemed to stand off and skeptically regard thefictitious cowboy.This gentleman of the range wore a huge sombrero with an ornamented silver band, a silken scarf ofred, a black velvet shirt, much affected by the Indians, an embroidered buckskin vest, corduroys, andfringed chaps with silver buttons, a big blue gun swinging low, high heeled boots, and long spurswith silver rowels.A flash cowboy! Steele vowed I was a born actor.But I never divulged the fact that had it not been for my infatuation for Sally, I never could havecarried on that part, not to save the Ranger service, or the whole State of Texas.The hardest part had not been the establishing of a reputation. The scorn of cowboys, the ridicule ofgamblers, the badinage of the young bucks of the settlement-these I had soon made dangerousprocedures for any one. I was quick with tongue and fist and gun.

Download or read book Fifty Years of the Texas Observer written by Char Miller and published by Trinity University Press. This book was released on 2012-08-31 with total page 446 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the past five decades the Texas Observer has been an essential voice in Texas culture and politics, championing honest government, civil rights, labor, and the environment, while providing a platform for many of the state’s most passionate and progressive voices. Included are ninety-one selections from Roy Bedichek, Lou Dubose, Ronnie Dugger, Dagoberto Gilb, Jim Hightower, Molly Ivins, Larry McMurtry, Maury Maverick Jr., Willie Morris, Debbie Nathan, and others. To mark the Observer’s fiftieth anniversary, Char Miller has selected a cross section of the best work to appear in its pages. Not only does the collection pay homage to an important alternative voice in Texas journalism, it also serves as a progressive chronicle of a half-century of life in the Lone Star State—a state that has spawned three presidents in the last forty years. If Texas is, as some say, a crucible for national politics, then Fifty Years of the Texas Observer can be read as a casebook for issues that concern citizens in all fifty states. Molly Ivins's foreword gives historical background for the Observer and sets the stage for the book.
Download or read book Outlaws with Badges written by Laurence J. Yadon and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2013-01-29 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the Old West, upright lawmen were scarce. Often, the men who were bound to keep the peace were just as corrupt as the men they pursued. These dishonest deputies chose their professions based on convenience rather than conviction, and the most revered were often the wiliest. These men held grudges, ruled with violence, and instilled fear in all who crossed their paths. Offered here is an untainted perspective of these outlaws that discerns fact from myth. Legends such as Wyatt Earp and renegade lawman Dirty Dave Rudabaugh are presented as real men with quirks and weaknesses. The authors deconstruct not only the Dalton's last stand in Coffeyville, Kansas, and the gunfight at the OK Corral-among other famous heists-but also the triumphs and flaws of their organizers. The Old West's former outlaws turned good, former lawmen gone bad, and honorable citizens who moonlighted as robbers and rustlers are presented in these pages. ABOUT THE AUTHORS Laurence J.

He has assisted the Department of Justice in litigation matters before his local United States district court and has successfully argued before the United States Supreme Court.
