Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When concert halls lose their popularity, opera singer Carlotta Carusa packs up her things and takes her talent out west in this hilarious and exciting picture book from Candace Fleming. What’s an opera singer to do when the appeal of performing in concert halls wears thin? Go west, of course! And sure as shootin’, that’s what Carlotta Carusa does. Out on the prairie, Carlotta finds all the adventure she’s been craving: snarling wolves, disastrous droughts, and that no-good skunk villain Skullneck Sam. But fear not, there’s nothing more satisfying than watching a feisty heroine, armed with a good melody and a heap of confidence, tame the untamable. Westward Ho, Carlotta! is an outrageously silly Wild West adventure sure to make any kid as happy as a tick on a hound dog!

Book excerpt: It was built in the Roaring Twenties. Tales were told of gangster Bugsy Siegel bringing champagne through underground tunnels to outmaneuver prohibition. It opened in 1927, "ablaze in incandescent splendor, 375 feet above Phoenix streets, its exterior aglow with flaming cheer." By plane and train, the rich and famous came to party in a Cowtown in the Wild West. The 93 year old Westward Ho , once the swankiest hotel in the West, is now housing for low-income seniors and the mobility-impaired. For 33 years it reigned as the tallest building in Phoenix. As times changed, it was sold, bankrupted and resold. Construction and painters would rework and rename the ballrooms, coffee shops and bars. I lived there for a challenging, happy twelve years. Things I never expected just happened. A catalyst of people entered my life. Falling in love at 75 - a walking-on-air surprise. During the days that the Westward Ho Historical Group existed, we tramped through every accessible place, basement to 15th floor, finding unused stairs and forgotten rooms. Roaming through the underground, up the back stairs and above the stage we scuffed through years of rat droppings to bring down reminders of former glory. Long gone are the Thunderbirds, a.k.a. kachinas that adorned the Thunderbird Room and were spectators to the dramas that happened to famous names and family grandmothers. Or do they still watch? Those on the Ghost Tours wonder. This book will fit on your bookshelf if you're curious about the Westward Ho, or like history, or appreciate a love story . The black and white indistinct pictures taken with an old camera are included because there's no place else to see them.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When it appeared in 1949, the first edition of Ray Allen Billington's 'Westward Expansion' set a new standard for scholarship in western American history, and the book's reputation among historians, scholars, and students grew through four subsequent editions. This abridgment and revision of Billington and Martin Ridge's fifth edition, with a new introduction and additional scholarship by Ridge, as well as an updated bibliography, focuses on the Trans-Mississippi frontier. Although the text sets out the remarkable story of the American frontier, which became, almost from the beginning, an archetypal narrative of the new American nation's successful expansion, the authors do not forget the social, environmental, and human cost of national expansion.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Convict. Detective. Lawman. On the wild American frontier, no man’s path is straight and narrow, and Jonas V. Brighton’s is no exception. Like many Western lawmen—even those with names like Earp and Hickock—he hails from hardscrabble roots and does what he has to in order to survive… even if it means breaking the rules from time to time. When he lands in a Kansas prison due to two horse-theiving friends, though, he has plenty of time to think about his future. Following his release, Brighton encounters Jennie Hudson, a beautiful and feisty young private detective working for the local police. Sparks fly, and they soon embark on a wild and wooly partnership as both detectives and lovers. Their cases together make national headlines, only not the kind that are good for business. Mired in controversy, they go their separate ways. Armed with his newfound experience, Brighton strikes out on his own. He ends up in Texas, where his reputation for undercover work and accuracy with a gun lands him a new job as a stock detective. Teamed with an old hand named Wes Wilson to learn the ropes, they're a duo tougher than boot leather, ridin' high and ridin' proud, ridin' down rustlers and pulling each other from the jaws of death more times than you can shake a stick at. A gritty Western tale inspired by the real-life adventures of the lawman who would go on to shout down infamous outlaw Ike Clanton of Tombstone fame, Rawhide Jake: Learning the Ropes is as real and authentic as you can get.
