Book excerpt: A 46K fiction/non-fiction novel of action/adventure-romance. When the sparks were flying, the assassin had fallen from the trough to the ground on his stomach and began crawling blind. The only thing the assassin wanted was to escape at all costs. Sven moves in closer. What he sees gives in to the creeps. Red blood mixed in with snow, dead wolves, clothes ripped to shreds. Sven looks over the scene and shakes his head, "terrible way to die." Sven sees the snow stomped on so much by the wolves he can remove his snowshoes. Using one of his poles with his rifle ready in his opposite hand, Sven moves branches, one at a time until he sees the grizzly scene of a fight for survival. I am searching for a band of Apaches who attacked a government wagon train of four wagons killing six troopers and burning the wagons and taking the horses and what supplies they wanted and burn the rest. Opening my saddlebags, I grab the coffee and hardtack and set it down. What else? Oh, water. I reached down to pick up my canteen and turn around. Standing across from the fire is Two Hands, the Mescalero Apache with a rabbit in one hand and a Winchester in his other. I shouted, "Hello in the camp!" Nothing. Again, "Hello in the camp!" I watched the picketed horse when I yelled. It looked in the direction of a large red cedar. She stepped away from the cedar with Winchester glued to her hip and the barrel pointed at my midsection. "Mister, shuck the rifle and raise your hands so I can see both."I stopped in my tracks. I had to. Mercy, I'd had the pleasure of seeing a few gorgeous women, but for the first time in my life, I was seeing one of this kind of beauty."Mister, NOW. I'm not in the habit of saying it twice."

Download or read book The Nature of Nebraska written by Paul A. Johnsgard and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2005-01-01 with total page 438 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Where the eastern and western currents of American life merge as smoothly as one river flows into another is a place called Nebraska. There we find the Platte, a river that gave sustenance to the countless migrants who once trudged westward along the Mormon and Oregon trails. We find the Sandhills, a vast region of sandy grassland that represents the largest area of dunes and the grandest and least disturbed region of mixed-grass prairies in all the Western Hemisphere. And, below it all, we find the Ogallala aquifer, the largest potential source of unpolluted water anywhere. ø These ecological treasures are all part of the nature of Nebraska. With characteristic clarity, energy, and charm, Paul A. Johnsgard guides us through Nebraska?s incredible biodiversity, introducing us to each ecosystem and the flora and fauna it sustains and inviting us to contemplate the purpose and secrets of the natural world as we consider our own roles and responsibilities in our connection with it.
Download or read book Moon of Popping Trees written by Rex Alan Smith and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 1981-01-01 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The last significant clash of arms in the American Indian Wars took place on December 29, 1890, on the banks of Wounded Knee Creek in South Dakota. Of the 350 Teton Sioux Indians there, two-thirds were women and children. When the smoke cleared, 84 men and 62 women and children lay dead, their bodies scattered along a stretch of more than a mile where they had been trying to flee. Of some 500 soldiers and scouts, about 30 were dead—some, probably, from their own crossfire. Wounded Knee has excited contradictory accounts and heated emotions. To answer whether it was a battle or a massacre, Rex Alan Smith goes further into the historical records and cultural traditions of the combatants than anyone has gone before. His work results in what Alvin Josephy Jr., editor of American Heritage, calls "the most definitive and unbiased" account of all, Moon of Popping Trees.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As command module pilot of Apollo 17, the last crewed flight to the moon, Ron Evans combined precision flying and painstaking geological observation with moments of delight and enthusiasm. On his way to the launchpad, he literally jumped for joy in his spacesuit. Emerging from the command module to conduct his crucial spacewalk, he exclaimed, "Hot diggity dog!" and waved a greeting to his family. As a patriotic American in charge of command module America, Evans was nicknamed "Captain America" by his fellow crew members. Born in 1933 in St. Francis, Kansas, Evans distinguished himself academically and athletically in school, earned degrees in electrical engineering and aeronautical engineering, and became a naval aviator and a combat flight instructor. He was one of the few astronauts who served in combat during the Vietnam War, flying more than a hundred missions off the deck of the USS Ticonderoga, the same aircraft carrier that would recover him and his fellow astronauts after the splashdown of Apollo 17. Evans's astronaut career spans the Apollo missions and beyond. He served on the support crews for 1, 7, and 11 and on the Apollo 14 backup crew before being selected for Apollo 17 and flying on the final moon mission in 1972. He next trained with Soviet cosmonauts as backup command module pilot for the 1975 Apollo-Soyuz mission and carried out early work on the space shuttle program. Evans then left NASA to pursue a business career. He died suddenly in 1990 at the age of fifty-six.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I Have A Poem The Size Of The Moon is a book of poems about Nebraska. Not cornfields, not cows: Cities, highways, long drives and the political conversations simmering. Between Meteors and Fireflies In a drought year, corn stubble bends into Headlines: "Farmers pray for rain." Tumbleweeds take time to harmonize and choreograph, somewhere between meteors and fireflies. The grocery sells blueberries all year round, but the charge card feels heavy as a refrigerator once you slip it from the wallet. You don't end up buying the magazines, just browse. It's a tow truck, doorbell button, garbage disposal broke summer: no real difference between a silo and a paper sack, it seems. And in the hallway, light glows from under the bathroom door.
