Billy the Kid and Pat Garrett: Their Puerto de Luna Story
ISBN: 9781507615539 / Angielski / Miękka / 108 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Billy the Kid and Pat Garrett were known to have been frequent visitors to Puerto de Luna. However, each of the two had very different reasons for their visits. Billy the Kid had established a reputation as an outlaw and Pat Garrett earned his fame as a lawman. Both have been written about extensively in New Mexico's history about the Old West and the Lincoln County War. The paths of the outlaw and the lawman frequently crossed. And for Billy the Kid, the final meeting between the two on July 14, 1881 at Pete Maxwell's in Fort Sumner would prove fatal. Alexander Grzelachowski had immigrated...

Along the Texas Forts Trail
ISBN: 9781574410358 / Angielski / Miękka / 165 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The task of providing military defense for the Texas Frontier was never an easy one because the territory was claimed by some of the greatest querrilla fighters of all times-the Comanches, Kiowas, Apaches, and Lipans. Protecting a line running from the Red River southwest to El Paso was an impossible task, but following the Mexican War the federal government attempted to do so by establishing a line of forts.
During the Civil War the forts were virtually abandoned and the Indians once again ruled the area. Following the war when the military began to restore the old forts, they found that...
