Download or read book The Wild Bunch at Robbers Roost written by Pearl Baker and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 1989-02-01 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Robbers Roost was a hideout for outlaws and hunted men long before Butch Cassidy found it in 1884. The impenetrable wastes and wilds of this high desert country in southeastern Utah, cut through by canyons along the Green and Colorado rivers and bounded on the west by the Dirty Devil, discouraged lawmen from pursuit. Growing up on a ranch that included Robbers Roost, Pearl Baker heard many of the legends about?and talked to many who remembered?the notorious Wild Bunch. In the 1890s they spread over Utah, Wyoming, Montana, Colorado, and Arizona rustling cattle, stealing horses, robbing banks and trains, and often taking cover at Robbers Roost. Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Flat Nose George and the Curry boys, Elzy Lay, Gunplay Maxwell, the McCarty boys, Peep O'Day, Silver Tip, Blue John, and Indian Ed Newcomb?they all come to rip-roaring life while courting death in The Wild Bunch at Robbers Roost. In his introduction to the Bison Books edition, Floyd A. O'Neil, director of the American West Center at the University of Utah, discusses landscape, the law and the Wild Bunch, and Pearl Baker's lifelong preparation for this lively book.

Download or read book Jonathan Owen Silver Bullet and Bank Robber written by Rick Thomas and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2005 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author is a retired cartographer and graphic artist for the Government of British Columbia. He left Canada in his Jeep, Silver Bullet to live for a time in the tropics of Mexico. The Mexican people, black volcanoes, jungle landscape, torrid climate and a twenty five year old woman who robbed banks in North Africa, inspired him to write. The author fictionalized the stories of his experiences into those of his character Jonathan Owen. Jonathan's adventure begins on the road from his home in Canada and ends on a beach five months later in the exotic village of Bucerias on the Bahia de Banderas, Mexico. Jonathan Owen, Silver Bullet and Bank Robber live through many adventures in the land of bloody bullfights, illegal cockfights, pagan ways and religious festivals. Jonathan tells his young friend many stories of his life and imaginary ones of the people - past and future of Mexico. Together they learn about the brutality of the Aztec and Mayan peoples. Jonathan comes to appreciate the ancient God Quetzalcoatl and the Christian apparition, the Virgin of Guadalupe. They travel together on board Silver Bullet up into the Sierra Madras and jungles where love haunts them. They experience legends, myths and ghosts and the joy of giving to the poor in one of the many desolate places in Mexico - the municipal garbage dump of Puerto Vallarta. In Mexico life is abundant and cheap with death close by as Jonathan and Bank Robber find out. Driving the back roads through farms and jungles they see and smell it every day not knowing how close they are to their own demise. They will eventually and inevitably face death head on and it will change them forever.

Book excerpt: For one year, writer Jay Atkinson worked as a private eye for the storied firm McCain Investigations, founded by the late Joe McCain, one of the most decorated police officers in Boston history. In this colorful narrative, Atkinson describes the cases he worked that year, chasing down an assortment of felons, thieves, and con artists, as well as the ghost of a real American hero, legendary cop Joe McCain. Big Joe was the genuine article, a detective so committed to his work that a gunshot wound suffered in the line of duty took thirteen years to kill him. In Legends of Winter Hill Atkinson traces Big Joe’s career from the day he put on his Boston Metropolitan Police uniform in the 1950s through the heyday of his run-ins with mafiosi, bad cops, and ruthless killers, up to his death in 2001. Atkinson also follows the career of Joe McCain’s son, Joe Jr., a tattooed motorcycle fanatic who took up the mantle of his father and became a cop himself. Legends of Winter Hill takes you into an alluring and gritty world where heroes go unsung every day and moral boundaries aren’t always black and white.
