“As I read Sand in Our Shoes I realized how difficult the
west was, even as late as the late 1940’s. I could not set it
down until I absorbed the last word. Thank you for bringing a
great book to life. It personifies the life & Spirit of the
Valley of the Sun.” Sid Hagel publisher Wild West Gazette."

The
story of the hard ranch life a widow woman endures when her
family makes life even harder. A son who abandons her and a
daughter who dumps her kids in her lap. But somehow a magical
twist makes her find special moments among the pain.
Editor note: I had
the privilege of meeting author Dixie Northcott in September
2008 and will publish an article about her hard ranching life on
the Arizona Strip in the May 2009 Wild West Gazette. Sadly, Ms.
Northcott passed away in November 2008.

Alice Thompson
American Caravan is a true history of one of the last great
wagon trains to cross the old Santa Fe Trail during the post
Civil War era, written in the tradition of Chaucer's
Canterbury Tales.
Testimonials
"The tragic tale of the death and burial of 19-year old Mary
Alphonsa Thompson, Sister of Loretto, on the Santa Fe Trail in
present western Kansas in the summer of 1867 is one of the
greatest mysteries as well as one of the most touching human
interest stories in the six-decade history of that famous route
of commerce and conquest between the Missouri River valley and
New Mexico. This is a story that has waited nearly a century
and a half for someone to present to the public with all the
components described."

Timanus,
Rod - On the Crockett Trail
$9.95

ISBN 1-877704-38-5
Learn more about
Rod TimanusOn the Crockett Trail. A
history/travel book that retraces the last journey of David
Crockett from his last home in Rutherford, Tennessee, to the
Alamo in San Antonio, Texas. Utilizing old journals, letters,
newspaper articles, current roadmaps and some speculation,
author Rod Timanus mapped out and traveled a driving route
closely following Crockett's trip of 1835-36.
Intermingling historical
narrative with personal observation, the book provides
information, background, hours of operation and photographs of
various historic sites, restorations and areas of interest in
Tennessee, Arkansas and Texas that relate to Crockett and his
journey. This book will provide a valuable resource for the
traveler or armchair historian who wishes to visit some of the
same places, retrace portions, or all, of the trip on their own
or just acquire information on a long overlooked adventure in
Crockett's life. David Crockett traveled over 1,500 miles from
West Tennessee, through the territory of Arkansas to the country
of Mexico (Texas) to ultimately die at the Alamo. His longest
journey of exploration into the unknown became only a footnote
in the history of the Texas Revolution, as even Crockett
biographers devote little space to it. On the Crockett Trail
will give the reader a greater appreciation of the trip Crockett
made.
Testimonials
" The field of Crockett studies
has been worked extensively, and most of us would be hard
pressed to devise a fresh take: Rod Timanus has succeeded."

Learn more about
Rod Timanus
An Illustrated History of Texas
Forts. The word "fort" is defined as "a strong or fortified
place." The inhabitants of eighteenth-and nineteenth-century
Texas often depended on such places of protection from their
enemies for survival.
As a northern province
of Mexico, an independent republic, and finally as a state of
both the Union and the Confederacy, Texas was contested ground
for much of its early history. The Mexicans fought the Spanish
for control of Texas; the Anglos fought the Mexicans for
possession of Texas and then fought each other. The Native
Americans fought everybody. In each conflict, whether short and
savage in duration or protracted and bloody, one side often
fought from "a strong or fortified place."
This guide presents over
one hundred Texas forts and camps in the order that they came
into being, and illustrates their history with period drawings,
plans, and maps. |
