Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tom Davis, a.k.a. Lone Eagle-the White Apache, left the Apache four years ago. Tom, captured by Victorio when he was nine, lived with them ten years, becoming a warrior at age fifteen. He got his Apache name on a mountain peak during a violent thunderstorm. Ussen (God) tells Tom to go back to his real family. Victorio considers it treason. Tom escapes Victorio and while passing through Santa Fe, he meets Susan Estes. He comes back to Santa Fe as a Federal Marshal. Victorio and Auraria, Toms Apache parents, are killed on a peak of The Three Castles Mountain in the Candalaria Mountain Range in Mexico on October the 20th, 1880. Tom, now twenty-one, kills Black Jack Ketchem in a duel. Three weeks after his recovery, Tom marries Susan. As the Marshal of Santa Fe, Tom will have to face the biggest challenges of his life. The Comanche leave the Fort Stanton Reservation. He must bring them back in. Two dumb cowboys fail in a robbery of McGregors mercantile, and Tom must go after them. His old enemy, Ron Jedrokoski, is back and determined to kill Tom and his family. Ron is wealthy and can hire as many killers as he needs to carry out his wishes. He offers a bounty on Tom and his family. Tom must protect his family in an all out war. No mercy will be asked for and none given.

Book All Aboard for Santa Fe

Download or read book All Aboard for Santa Fe written by Victoria E. Dye and published by University of New Mexico Press. This book was released on 2016-04-25 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By the late 1800s, the major mode of transportation for travelers to the Southwest was by rail. In 1878, the Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe Railway Company (AT&SF) became the first railroad to enter New Mexico, and by the late 1890s it controlled more than half of the track-miles in the Territory. The company wielded tremendous power in New Mexico, and soon made tourism an important facet of its financial enterprise. All Aboard for Santa Fe focuses on the AT&SF's marketing efforts to highlight Santa Fe as an ideal tourism destination. The company marketed the healthful benefits of the area's dry desert air, a strong selling point for eastern city-dwelling tuberculosis sufferers. AT&SF also joined forces with the Fred Harvey Company, owner of numerous hotels and restaurants along the rail line, to promote Santa Fe. Together, they developed materials emphasizing Santa Fe's Indian and Hispanic cultures, promoting artists from the area's art colonies, and created the Indian Detours sightseeing tours. All Aboard for Santa Fe is a comprehensive study of AT&SF's early involvement in the establishment of western tourism and the mystique of Santa Fe.

Book Esau Jones Bounty Hunter

Download or read book Esau Jones Bounty Hunter written by Jim Feazell and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2011-07-07 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the spring of 1865, the war had ended, the president had been assassinated, reconstruction had began before the war ended and the border country of north and south was in a state of chaotic turmoil. Factions from both sides of the war had their lives up-heaved and destroyed beyond repair. Esau Jones was one of such men. He was only a teen-age boy when he rode as a renegade bushwhacker with William Quantrill causing havoc with Union sympathizers and Union troops. During these tumultuous times, guerrilla warfare still gripped the border country of Kansas and Missouri. Bitter conflicts ensued, bringing an escalating cycle of atrocities by both sides. As guerrilla warfare decreased more and more ex-guerrillas turned to outlawry for a living. Esaus friend, Jesse James, tried to get him to join him in banditry. Esau refused saying he wished to go west and find honest employment. Through a turn of fate Esau fell into the occupation of bounty hunting. His reputation spread like wildfire among the outlaw element as the most feared bounty hunter of all time. Just to hear his name would cause one to quake in fear.

Book The Protohistoric Pueblo World  A D  1275 1600

Download or read book The Protohistoric Pueblo World A D 1275 1600 written by E. Charles Adams and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 2016-04 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the centuries before the arrival of Europeans, the Pueblo world underwent nearly continuous reorganization. Populations moved from Chaco Canyon and the great centers of the Mesa Verde region to areas along the Rio Grande, the Little Colorado River, and the Mogollon Rim, where they began constructing larger and differently organized villages, many with more than 500 rooms. Villages also tended to occur in clusters that have been interpreted in a number of different ways. This book describes and interprets this period of southwestern history immediately before and after initial European contact, A.D. 1275-1600—a span of time during which Pueblo peoples and culture were dramatically transformed. It summarizes one hundred years of research and archaeological data for the Pueblo IV period as it explores the nature of the organization of village clusters and what they meant in behavioral and political terms. Twelve of the chapters individually examine the northern and eastern portions of the Southwest and the groups who settled there during the protohistoric period. The authors develop histories for settlement clusters that offer insights into their unique development and the variety of ways that villages formed these clusters. These analyses show the extent to which spatial clusters of large settlements may have formed regionally organized alliances, and in some cases they reveal a connection between protohistoric villages and indigenous or migratory groups from the preceding period. This volume is distinct from other recent syntheses of Pueblo IV research in that it treats the settlement cluster as the analytic unit. By analyzing how members of clusters of villages interacted with one another, it offers a clearer understanding of the value of this level of analysis and suggests possibilities for future research. In addition to offering new insights on the Pueblo IV world, the volume serves as a compendium of information on more than 400 known villages larger than 50 rooms. It will be of lasting interest not only to archaeologists but also to geographers, land managers, and general readers interested in Pueblo culture.
