Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hi I'm Dusty Boots Cowboy philosopher an' poet I'm this way on count of my roots An' in my offerin's I try ta show it. I'm just a common man I write what I'm obliged ta see an feel; I'm tryin' to deliver best I can; Of things that might be true an' real. You can see I like the things of yesterday; An' stuff that's told to me by others. I like stories that put my mind into play But of blood an' gore I have my druthers. Now I live a simple quiet life At home with my books an' my wife. Dusty Boots Is a name that evolved from years of association with cattlemen and story tellers and poets I have shared time with at campfires and trail rides. I do performances for small groups and gatherings. At the urging of family and friends I have put together my first book of poetry and stories that rhyme, so they will be able to read the things, historically sound or Not, that I have collected over the years and put to verse. My story had its humble beginnings out in the Rocky Mountains of Utah. My wonderings have allowed me to experience the cowboy ways in: Wyoming, Colorado, Arizona where I spent a fair piece of my time as well as Nevada, California, and Idaho. Read this book an' you may be caught up in the "Flavor of the West".

Book excerpt: But all the kids are wearing them! Any child who has ever craved something out of reach will relate to this warm, refreshingly realistic story. Features an audio read-along. "I have dreams about those shoes. Black high-tops. Two white stripes." All Jeremy wants is a pair of those shoes, the ones everyone at school seems to be wearing. But Jeremy’s grandma tells him they don’t have room for "want," just "need," and what Jeremy needs are new boots for winter. When Jeremy’s shoes fall apart at school, and the guidance counselor gives him a hand-me-down pair, the boy is more determined than ever to have those shoes, even a thrift-shop pair that are much too small. But sore feet aren’t much fun, and Jeremy comes to realize that the things he has -- warm boots, a loving grandma, and the chance to help a friend -- are worth more than the things he wants.

Download or read book To Walk Upon High Places written by Dan Irwin and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2005-02 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This novel focuses on the contributions that were made in the first half of the nineteenth century by topographers and mapmakers in delineating the terrain of the West when little or nothing was known about the wilderness beyond the Mississippi River. Although a work of fiction, reference is often made to historical fact. The story of Erick Wollenhaupt's desire to discover and map unknown regions is told in several diaries and narrative format recording his travels, observations and action filled experiences. Continuity between his several diaries is accomplished through a third person narrative. Dejected when his love for Michelle is thwarted by the betrayal of someone he trusted, Erick heads into western territory. His adventures include joining the Army of the West in action during the Mexican War. On a special mission, he is captured by Indians, but later escapes. On another occasion Erick barely misses being a member of the ill-fated Gunnison expedition in Utah territory. To Walk Upon High Places documents Erick's compelling quest and leads to an unexpected conclusion.
