Following the Drum: a U. S. Infantry Officer's Wife on the Texas Frontier in the Early 1850's
ISBN: 9781846779510 / Angielski / Miękka / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. A view of the early Texan frontier from a female view point
Teresa Viele was a strong minded woman with clear cut views. Fate would dictate that her life would not be defined by her experiences as an army wife, but in this book she has left us a significant insight into the activities of the officers, soldiers and families of a United States Infantry regiment on the Texas frontier in the pre-Civil War period. Her account encompasses everything that came under her eye and into her active mind-from travel, landscape, flora, fauna and food. Less domestically, she turned her thoughts and pen...

The Old Santa Fe Trail: the Story of a Great Highway
ISBN: 9781846779671 / Angielski / Miękka / 376 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. A soldier-author's view of the American frontier
The history of the expansion of the frontier of America is particularly marked by the famous-perhaps legendary-trails upon which pioneers in their 'prairie schooners' or cattlemen driving their great herds crossed the vast continental interior. All roads tell their own stories, not by virtue of being routes of passage, but because of the personalities of those who travelled them and the events that took place on or about them. So it is that these highways have encapsulated their own place in the making of a nation. This wonderful book... A soldier-author's view of the American frontier

Aspects of the American West: Three Essays
ISBN: 9780890960233 / Angielski / Twarda / 88 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Few historians know and love the American West better than Joe Frantz does, and few have written more critically about it. His addresses and articles, marked by both insight and charm, have brought him much acclaim, as have his books. The three thought-provoking essays in this volume are excellent examples of his work.
The first essay, "Yellowstone National Park: Genesis of an Urban Solution," was first delivered by Dr. Frantz as the Norman Furniss Lecture at Colorado State University in 1971 and was subsequently published in "Montana"" The Magazine of Western History." In it he portrays... Few historians know and love the American West better than Joe Frantz does, and few have written more critically about it. His addresses and articles,...

Hoein the Short Rows
ISBN: 9780870742569 / Angielski / Twarda / 238 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. If there was any pleasure at all in hoeing, it was in the short row soon hoed rather than the one that in the day s high heat seemed to stretch to shimmering eternity. And that s what this collection of Texas folklore is, a series of short rows, easily and pleasantly hoed, promising a great crop as a reward for the reader s labors.
Here are high toned women and hayburners, loud pipes and calaveras, brown derbies and battles royal. And, oh yes, Welsh mains. And if these seem like unfamiliar rows, they are nonetheless pleasantly hoed, and in the process much will be learned about railway...
