Book excerpt: Midway through Sid Gustafson's new novel, Horses They Rode, I found myself put in mind of all the second chances I have had. His take on the reknitting of family, friendship, and one man's tumultuous life is such a story-a tale of second chances where hope effervesces across a storyscape of high country, horse corrals, drunkenness, and regret that seems, at moments, irresolvable. It's a wholly American novel, for of course, America is a land forgiving of first mistakes-where a shot at trying again is fair and right.Wendel Ingraham, Gustafson's protagonist, is a ranch hand who has roamed Washington State's Inland Empire, Idaho's panhandle, and Big Sky Country on a multi-year binge, leaving a daughter and a broken marriage in his wake. A series of experiences, including encounters with a high-school sweetheart and with mentor, companion, and part-time Blackfoot medicine man Bubbles Ground Owl, leads to his sobriety and amends.Wendel and Bubbles take jobs as hands on a ranch where they worked as youths. And this is where the novel cries its message in earnest. The protagonist is never so competent as when he's reunited with his beloved horse. The symbiosis that is rediscovered between them, a language of faithfulness and trust, portends atonements awaiting Wendel. A gathering of horsemen and their mounts prompts language from Gustafson that is a gorgeous but gritty admixture of potential: "Whoever they were, whatever breed of horsemen, they brought horses and they brought hope, hope that horses could revive a manifest heart."At the ranch there are additional reconciliations required of Ingraham. In their execution, he emerges whole, ". . . grateful for all the people who'd gathered to live the life they knew best, everything and everyone connected, men and animals, fishes and birds, grass, trees and stars."As in his first novel, Prisoners of Flight, Gustafson often joyfully eschews writing conventions. By turns, his forms are starkly tangible or cloaked in mythology. His prose is exuberant and accessible. Rhythmic, he often reads like a long poem: "Parents want their children with them, children of the land, something about having your children with you on the land, native children on native land."Horses They Rode is a one-sitting book. And it's the kind of book about something important in a world full of books about unimportant things. Readers of classic Montana fiction will like it.Reviewed by Brian Ames '85Washington State Magazine Steeped in Native American spirituality and stories, Horses They Rode is a compelling tribute to contemporary ranch culture. Like his debut novel, Prisoner's of Flight, Gustafson's latest is thick with metaphor, weaving together both inner and outer journeys. By rail, by horse, and by mountain highway, Gustafson paints a magical landscape as his protagonist recreates his life and connections with others, the land and himself.

Download or read book The Great Sweepstakes of 1877 written by Mark Shrager and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2016-04-01 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1877 the members of the United States Senate postponed all business for the day so that they might attend a horse race—the iconic, polarizing post-Civil War event at the center of this story. The nation, still recovering from the depredations of the Civil War and the Reconstruction that followed, recognized it as a North vs. South encounter, pitting New York’s powerful thoroughbred Tom Ochiltree and New Jersey’s Parole—owned by the ostentatious Northern tycoons Pierre and George Lorrilard—against the already legendary “Kentucky crack,” Ten Broeck—owned by the teetotaling, plain-living Frank Harper and ridden by black jockey and former slave William Walker—representing a former slave state and its Southern values. The race and the colorful cast of characters involved reflected the still seething America during one of the nation’s most difficult and divisive periods. Shrager presents a fascinating and heart-pounding piece of history exposing the racial and economic tensions following the Civil War that culminated in one final race to the end.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1967, Christine and Mark leave New York State and drive out to British Columbia, looking for a remote place to disappear from civilization. Christine teaches in a one-room school in the Chilcotin, where ranchers and Indians still live the old-time way. Then they venture up the coast of B.C. in March in an unseaworthy boat, only to get shipwrecked and go ten days without food or warmth. When their son is born, they return to the Chlcotin and stake land. They have a misadventure of getting lost in hostile country, and spend two nights sitting by a fire. Mark finds the lakeshore too confining, so they travel by horseback and develop two homesteads in remote places. They hunt, fish, cut hay with scythe, store food up in a cache, build cabins, and spend three winters living in a tent pitched on logs. Christine falls in love with Sage, and walks forty miles to the trapline where he is wintering. Over the next eight years, they homebirth two boys, trap, and build their homestead, including goats and gardens. Once again she breaks up her relationship, and over the next ten years, gives birth to another son, raises her boys on her own, motivates them to be creative outdoor kids, and asks Jesus to be Lord of her life. She meets and marries George, and the family moves to 100 Mile. George hits the bottle and goes berserk, so Christine moves back to her cabin in the Chilcotin. Simon re-enters her life and she moves to Quesnel with him. That relationship falls apart, and she moves back to her cabin at Tatia Lake in 2004. The four boys are grown up, Christine is 59 years old and a grandmother of five, and finally has time to write this unusual autobiography.
