These selected paragraphs distill the contents and give you a quick look inside The Prairie Schooner: Look inside the book: Some sleep in the sidehills along the swift-flowing waters of the North Platte, one or two are parts of gravel beds down on the wild meadows-or what were the wild meadows of hundreds of square miles between the North Platte and the Poudre; but not a few, like you and I, stalk abroad on the face of the earth-cheating first, as we did, tribes of Sioux, Arapahoe, Cheyenne and the Comanches who swept up across Kansas and Nebraska; escaping the blizzards, periods of starvation, cold, heat, fire, water, whisky, and finally the surgeon's knife. ...These ranch houses were protected from Indians by less than a dozen men at any time; but these men were fighters and were known to be such by the chiefs of the tribes that frequently roamed the territory south of the Platte, although in a treaty with the Federal government they had promised to stay north of the famous stream, the consideration being, on the part of Uncle Sam, a contribution of hundreds of tons of flour, bacon, tobacco and other things. ...Both Hunton and Clay had a knack of dealing with these roaming bands, however, that prevented any serious raids, although at one time, when Clay had closed a contract with the government and found himself in Cheyenne with his big bull outfit, consisting of a couple of hundred head of oxen and thirty or forty men, word was brought to him that on his return trip to his Chugwater quarters, a band of Sioux would attack him.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Prairie Schooner Both breeds were accustomed to no food other than the grasses of the country, upon which they flourished. These included the suc culent bunch grass. Oxen were used in teams of five, six and seven yokes and hauled large canvas-covered wagons built for the purpose in Missouri, Wis consin, Illinois and Indiana. In the larger transportation outfits each team hauled two wagons, a lead and a trailer, and frequently were loaded with from to pounds of freight. These teams were driven by men who were as tough and sturdy as the oxen. Most of the freighting was done in the spring, summer and fall, although several dis astrous attempts were made to continue through the midwinter season to relieve food shortages at the army posts. It may seem strange, but it is nevertheless true, that Indians frequently attacked the very wagon trains that were hauling food to them.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Prairie Schooner: A Story of the Black Hawk War It was Saturday, and the sun marked the hour of noon, when Ned Putnam brought his oxen to a stop beneath a large cottonwood tree, and lifting the yoke from their shoulders, turned them out to graze, fastened at the end of long ropes, a precaution that was hardly necessary, as the oxen showed little sign of straying from the wagon. Two young heifers that were tied behind were likewise picketed, and two great boxes that rode in the rear of the wagon were taken down and placed in the Shade. One of them contained a brood of young pigs, and the other, divided through the middle, had on one Side a half dozen turkeys and geese, - a cock and two hens of each, - and on the other a somewhat larger number of hens and ducks, with a solemn old drake and a big-combed Chanticleer, whose crow had served to start the schooner betimes in the morning. Ned brought water from the lake for the chickens and pigs, and cleaned the cages by detaching the bottoms, allowing the pigs and fowls to play meantime in the sand, which formed a temporary bottom. The wagon furnished meal and grain for their feed, and the scrubbed bottom boards were turned to dry in the sun. Thanks to such care as this the fowls and pigs were in excellent condition, and had come to enjoy their home so much that Ned had sometimes released a portion of his feathered flock at night, catching its members with little difficulty when feeding time came in the morning.

Download or read book Domesticated Wild Things and Other Stories written by Xhenet Aliu and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2013-09-01 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Just down the highway from Connecticut’s Gold Coast is the state’s rusty underbelly, the wretched, used-up sort of place where you might find Xhenet Aliu’s Domesticated Wild Things: the reluctant mothers, delinquent dads, and not-quite-feral children, yet dreamers all. These are the children of immigrants who found boarded-up brass mills instead of the gilded streets of America; they’re the teenaged girls raised in the fluorescent glow of Greek diners, the middle-aged men with pump trucks and teratomas. These are people who have fled, or who should have. And if they are indeed familiar, it is because Aliu writes what is real, whether we ourselves, her readers, have seen it up close or not. And her stories make sense in a way that matters. A young mother buys into a real-estate investment seminar offered on an infomercial, only to be put back into her place by a bully in foreclosure. A closeted wrestler befriends a latchkey seven-year-old neighbor who harbors secrets of her own. A YMCA counselor tries to reclaim shoes stolen by a troubled young camper. What they share is a biting humor, an eye for the absurd, and fumbling attempts at human connection, all rendered irresistible—and as moving as they are amusing—by a writer whose work is at once edgy and endearing and prize winning for reasons any reader can appreciate.
Download or read book What Isn t Remembered written by Kristina Gorcheva-Newberry and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2021-09 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Longlisted for the PEN/Robert W. Bingham Prize for Debut Short Story Collection Winner of the Raz/Shumaker Prairie Schooner Book Prize in Fiction, the stories in What Isn't Remembered explore the burden, the power, and the nature of love between people who often feel misplaced and estranged from their deepest selves and the world, where they cannot find a home. The characters yearn not only to redefine themselves and rebuild their relationships but also to recover lost loves--a parent, a child, a friend, a spouse, a partner. A young man longs for his mother's love while grieving the loss of his older brother. A mother's affair sabotages her relationship with her daughter, causing a lifelong feud between the two. A divorced man struggles to come to terms with his failed marriage and his family's genocidal past while trying to persuade his father to start cancer treatments. A high school girl feels responsible for the death of her best friend, and the guilt continues to haunt her decades later. Evocative and lyrical, the tales in What Isn't Remembered uncover complex events and emotions, as well as the unpredictable ways in which people adapt to what happens in their lives, finding solace from the most surprising and unexpected sources.

Bonney of His Trip to Sutter's Fort, California, in 1846, and of His Pioneer Experiences in Oregon During the Days of Oregon's Provisional Government The last thing those remaining in the Barlow train said to us was, 'good-bye, we will never see you again. Your bones will whiten in the desert or be gnawed by wild animals in the mountains.' After driving southward for three days with Caleb Greenwood, he left us to go back to Fort Hall to get other emigrants to change their route to California. He left his three boys with us to guide us to Sutter's Fort. Sam, the youngest of the three boys, was the best pilot, though all three of them knew the country as well as a city man knows his own back yard.
