Looking for Trouble: The Adventures of the George Boys
ISBN: 9781681790169 / Angielski / Miękka / 146 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. "Looking for Trouble" is about the adventures of three brothers who grew up in Northeast Texas, around Greenville, and the exciting times they had then and later in life. As youngsters the George boys were always into something. They rode on steam engines, swiped watermelons, robbed bees, herded cattle, drove tractors, swung in grapevines, and swam with snakes. They survived runaway hayrides, lightning, and first loves. They boated in a horse trough and rigged "Old Blue," the family's 1950 Chevy, so they could shock their friends. All three boys later served as U.S. Air Force officers. Larry...

Laumbachs in New Mexico, and Those Who Went Before
ISBN: 9780578166773 / Angielski / Miękka / 660 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This is a tale of two families joined by marriage, with hundreds of years' histories in then what would become northern Germany and northern New Mexico. It is a tale of a land grantee and people touched by events and historical personalities of the 1800s; of romance; of ghosts; of fabled buried gold and secret gold mines; of family strife publicly aired in civil suits lasting decades; of an independent woman who lived more than a hundred years before women sought equality; a villain or two; perhaps even a connection to Billy the Kid. It has the stuff of Gothic novels, yet is non-fiction and...

Hiking to History: A Guide to Off-Road New Mexico Historic Sites
ISBN: 9780826356857 / Angielski / Miękka / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. With more than 13,000 years of human habitation, New Mexico offers a wealth of historic sites located on vast tracts of land well off the beaten path. As author Robert Julyan observes, not much history has been made from a speeding car, and locations that have to be reached on foot are almost always less altered by parking lots, visitor centers, roadways, or traffic noise. Written for both outdoor enthusiasts and vicarious travelers, Hiking to History describes the historical significance behind these publicly accessible sites and includes GPS coordinates to enable readers to find...

The frontier desperado was a rugged individualist stamped and marked not by environment but by circumstance. Some of the seventeen men in this book have been pushed off the pages of their day by Billy the Kid, Clay Allison and Dave Rudabaugh.

So here they are, in addition to the three mentioned above: William Coe, Dick Brewer, Jim Greathouse, Tom Pickett, J. Joshua Webb, Porter Stogden,...

Lone Star Unionism, Dissent, and Resistance: Other Sides of Civil War Texas
ISBN: 9780806151823 / Angielski / Twarda / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Most histories of Civil War Texas--some starring the fabled Hood's Brigade, Terry's Texas Rangers, or one or another military figure--depict the Lone Star State as having joined the Confederacy as a matter of course and as having later emerged from the war relatively unscathed. Yet as the contributors to this volume amply demonstrate, the often neglected stories of Texas Unionists and dissenters paint a far more complicated picture. Ranging in time from the late 1850s to the end of Reconstruction, Lone Star Unionism, Dissent, and Resistance restores a missing layer of complexity...

Captain Frank Jones, a famed nineteenth-century Texas Ranger, said of his company's top sergeant, Baz Outlaw (1854-1894), "A man of unusual courage and coolness and in a close place is worth two or three ordinary men." Another old-time Texas Ranger declared that Baz Outlaw "was one of the worst and most dangerous" because "he never knew what fear was." But not all thought so highly of him. In Whiskey River Ranger, Bob Alexander tells for the first time the full story of this troubled Texas Ranger and his losing battle with alcoholism.
