Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After the Civil War, many disillusioned souls headed west in search of a new start. It was a grueling journey. Yet thousands, with their pioneering spirit, persevered to reach their goal. Is this book a work of fact or fiction? Could there be, somewhere along the Truckee River near the foot of the Sierra, remnants of a camp that was called Yellow Moon? Perhaps a few slivers of wood from an old wagon or a scrap of gingham or a button under a sage bush? Were the Dweller brothers real people? Did Berna and Nah-leah exist? Or is this whole story just whisperings as the west wind touches your shoulder? The author leaves it to the reader to decide.

Download or read book A Strong West Wind written by Gail Caldwell and published by Random House Trade Paperbacks. This book was released on 2007-01-09 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this exquisitely rendered memoir set on the high plains of Texas, Pulitzer Prize winner Gail Caldwell transforms into art what it is like to come of age in a particular time and place. A Strong West Wind begins in the 1950s in the wilds of the Texas Panhandle–a place of both boredom and beauty, its flat horizons broken only by oil derricks, grain elevators, and church steeples. Its story belongs to a girl who grew up surrounded by dust storms and cattle ranches and summer lightning, who took refuge from the vastness of the land and the ever-present wind by retreating into books. What she found there, from renegade women to men who lit out for the territory, turned out to offer a blueprint for her own future. Caldwell would grow up to become a writer, but first she would have to fall in love with a man who was every mother’s nightmare, live through the anguish and fire of the Vietnam years, and defy the father she adored, who had served as a master sergeant in the Second World War. A Strong West Wind is a memoir of culture and history–of fathers and daughters, of two world wars and the passionate rebellions of the sixties. But it is also about the mythology of place and the evolution of a sensibility: about how literature can shape and even anticipate a life. Caldwell possesses the extraordinary ability to illuminate the desires, stories, and lives of ordinary people. Written with humanity, urgency, and beautiful restraint, A Strong West Wind is a magical and unforgettable book, destined to become an American classic.

She cov ered the face of the man with her handkerchief, although what it cost her to do so can scarcely be imagined, and rose to her feet, unsteady, yet determined. She had scarcely attained the upright position when she heard a soft swish through the air. She was conscious Of something long, sinuous, tremulous flashing before her eyes. Another second and a slender rope whirled over her head and slipped down over her shoulders. There was a sudden sharp constriction about her el bows. The loop was drawn close on the instant.
