Book excerpt: In "The Killing of Pipestone", the first story of this Western duo, small rancher Jack Cole saves the life of a young woman who calls herself Julie Krohn. He takes her back to his ranch house to recover, and the very next day he's arrested in Pipestone - for the murder of Julie Krohn! Jess Howard is an experienced trail boss whose job is to take a herd of longhorns to Kansas in "Longhorn Trail". He's hired a veteran crew, as well as Wayne Levitt and Jeb Brown. Wayne is an odd man who avoids meeting strangers, and Brown is on his first trail drive. The trail to Kansas is dangerous, and the challenges they face - both from the elements and other humans will come swiftly. But none will pose a greater threat than the Comancheros who spot the herd.

Download or read book Up the Trail written by Tim Lehman and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2018-08-15 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How did cattle drives come about—and why did the cowboy become an iconic American hero? Cattle drives were the largest, longest, and ultimately the last of the great forced animal migrations in human history. Spilling out of Texas, they spread longhorns, cowboys, and the culture that roped the two together throughout the American West. In cities like Abilene, Dodge City, and Wichita, buyers paid off ranchers, ranchers paid off wranglers, and railroad lines took the cattle east to the packing plants of St. Louis and Chicago. The cattle drives of our imagination are filled with colorful cowboys prodding and coaxing a line of bellowing animals along a dusty path through the wilderness. These sturdy cowhands always triumph over stampedes, swollen rivers, and bloodthirsty Indians to deliver their mighty-horned companions to market—but Tim Lehman’s Up the Trail reveals that the gritty reality was vastly different. Far from being rugged individualists, the actual cow herders were itinerant laborers—a proletariat on horseback who connected cattle from the remote prairies of Texas with the nation’s industrial slaughterhouses. Lehman demystifies the cowboy life by describing the origins of the cattle drive and the extensive planning, complicated logistics, great skill, and good luck essential to getting the cows to market. He reveals how drives figured into the larger story of postwar economic development and traces the complex effects the cattle business had on the environment. He also explores how the premodern cowboy became a national hero who personified the manly virtues of rugged individualism and personal independence. Grounded in primary sources, this absorbing book takes advantage of recent scholarship on labor, race, gender, and the environment. The lively narrative will appeal to students of Texas and western history as well as anyone interested in cowboy culture.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Als sie auf dem Hügelkamm sind, halten sie ihre müden Pferde an und blicken hinunter in die Ebene. Der rotköpfige Jesse Rio schiebt seinen alten Armeehut in den Nacken und spricht mit einem Klang von ehrfürchtiger Dankbarkeit in der Stimme: »Da ist er. Seht ihr ihn? Da ist der Brazos. Wir sind heimgekehrt. Ich hätte nie gedacht, dass wir den Brazos noch einmal sehen würden. Es war ein verdammt langes Reiten.« Als Jesse Rio verstummt, nicken die drei anderen Reiter. Und sie wissen auch, was Jesse mit dem »langen Reiten« meint. Es ist nicht nur der lange Heimritt gemeint, nein, Jesse hat sich an den Tag vor fast sechs Jahren erinnert, da sie als noch recht junge Cowboys losritten, um sich freiwillig zur Texasbrigade zu melden. Sie ritten dann fünf Jahre durch den Krieg und wurden zu Männern. Danach blieben sie noch lange in Gefangenschaft im fernen Kansas in einem üblen Lager der Union. Und jetzt haben sie einen Fünfzehnhundert-Meilen-Ritt hinter sich, auf dem sie einige Male fast zu Banditen geworden wären. Nun aber sind sie auf der Heimatweide angekommen, abgerissen, fast schon zerlumpt, halb verhungert - und dennoch voller Hoffnung. Wird sich diese Hoffnung erfüllen?
