Historic Cookery
Author Fabiola C. Gilbert
Paperback. 43 pages. Index.
Suggested Menus
Size: 5.5" x 8.5" x .125"
3 Available for Immediate Shipping
From the Publisher:
When Historic Cookery first appeared in 1931 it may have been the earliest cookbook of New Mexican foods to be published, with heirloom recipes from the author's own family and others collected from villagers in northern New Mexico. Fabiola Cabeza de Baca Gilbert's cookbook has been credited with the popularization of cooking with chile that led directly to America's love of native New Mexican foods.
In traditional recipes there were no set rules for the preparation of food. The cook was expected to learn the recipes from her relatives. One of the great contributions of Historic Cookery is that for the first time the non-native cook was given exact amounts and measures for the preparation of New Mexican food.
The author gives complete recipes for chile sauces, corn dishes, meats, cheese, eggs, and vegetables as well as salads, soups, breads, desserts, and beverages.
Fabiola Cabeza de Baca Gilbert was born near Las Vegas, New Mexico in 1894. She was a noted educatior, writer, and home economist.

"PreSchool-Grade 3-A delightful, infectiously cheeryful, Southwestern rendition of a familiar story. Phrases used to describe biscuits, such as plump pillows, soft as clouds, and tasty as a big Texas barbecue, just roll off the tongue. Bow-legged and dressed in a vest, boots, hat, and a big belt buckle, the Gingerbread Cowboy teases: "Giddyup, giddyup as fast as you can. You can't catch me, I'm the Gingerbread Man" and includes an added refrain, and "raced away as fast as his boots could carry him". The lively text demands to be read aloud.

Great Ranches of the West

Photography by Jim Keene
Publisher: KMedia, Inc.
1st edition 2007
From our Purveyor of Books:
This is a stunning work. Gorgeous photographs tell the stories of thirty great ranches of the west. Lush colors and engaging storytelling share 11"x12" pages. Awarded the 2008 Independent Publisher Book Awards in the Coffee Table Book Category, this volume is more than just a pretty picture. Here's the opening line to the story of Nebraska's Haythorn Ranch:
"Boy, you brought this trouble on yourself," the captain shouted, shoving the teenaged stowaway into the arms of two sailors. "Take him below to shovel manure!" It was 1876, and the two rough men hauled the struggling youth to the bowels of the ship. There was no turning back to port for this English cattle ship, so sixteen-year-old Harry Haythornthwaite of Lancaster, England, crossed the Atlantic cleaning stalls of the bulls bound for Texas.
This book is dedicated to the American Rancher - those hardy people of the land, who for generations have produced and raised the best livestock in the world. All of us could well learn from their work ethic, diverse skills and special character qualitites. Also, as in all my work and life, I dedicate this book to my God - author of creativity.
Jim has spent most of his adult life hiking and photographing on public land in the West. He has climbed all 54 of Colorado's highest mountains, and has camped in the wilderness in all four seasons, creating thousands of landscape photographs. In, Great Ranches of the West, Jim has focused his cameras on private land and has made some remarkable discoveries. There are close to 600 photographs in this book, created over a five-year span. The photography and stories reveal how important this ranchland and the families who live there are to our country.

From the Book Jacket:
He was the King of the Cowboys. She was the Queen of the West. They were the idols of boys and girls everywhere who thrilled to their exploits in the movies or on TV and grew up humming their theme song, "Happy Trails."
They were the author's idols as well. But they were also her parents.
Cheryl Rogers-Barnett practically grew up on the Republic Studios lot where her parents made their great movies.
Cowboy Princess: Life with My Parents, Roy Rogers and Dale Evans tells the story of Cheryl's beloved parents from a point of view that is uniquely hers. It's filled with hilarious and touching stories of their relationship with each other and with their children and includes countless behind-the-scenes stories of Roy and Dale's movies, television appearances, and music. Leavening the warm and illuminating stories and memories are dozens of rare photographs-family snapshots, studio portraits, behind-the-scenes stills-most of which have never been published in a book and many of which have never been published anywhere.
For fans of the King of the Cowboys and the Queen of the West-and for anyone interested in the great performers of yesteryear-this book provides an up close and personal introduction to Roy Rogers, Dale Evans, their family, and the many colorful characters who rode beside them on those happy, happy trails.

Available-1
Published in time to celebrate the 100th Anniversaries of the birth of two Western icons of the Silver Screen -Roy Rogers (born 1911) and Dale Evans (born 1912).
There are many ways to measure people's fame and success, but the most foolproof method is to measure how they touched the lives of others. Roy Rogers and Dale Evans were second to none when measured by the levels of love and loyalty from their fans. Tricia Spencer has tapped right into that wellspring of appreciation with this book.
From our Purveyor of Books:
We personally answer our phones and, because there aren't any "gatekeepers," we have the opportunity to chat with folks from around the world. Author Tricia Spencer gave us a call looking for some information. She shared that she was working on a book of correspondence between Roy Rogers, Dale Evans, and their loving fan base. Letters came in from fans of all ages, expressing their love and gratitude for the role models Roy and Dale were to their families and them. This labor of love was nearing its deadline - publication in November 2011- just in time to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Roy Rogers' birth and Tricia was still nailing down details.
She was determined to include a lovely illustrated letter with matching envelope from fellow actor, stuntman, Western entertainer, and artist Walt La Rue. OutWest featured the artwork of Walt La Rue earlier this year and an on-line search for the artist brought Tricia to us. (Ah, the power of the Internet!) Of course, we assisted with her request and you'll find Walt's illustrated letter and envelope on pages159-161. Tricia has included wonderful photographs throughout the volume as well - many never before published.
When this title arrived at OutWest, I began reading immediately - it's just wonderful. Dale Evans' 100th anniversary of her birth will be celebrated throughout 2012. Roy's famous partner, Trigger, will be featured on the RFD Cable Network's Rose Parade Float in the January 2, 2012 New Year's Day Parade (it's on the 2nd as the parade is never held on a Sunday).
Tricia invited me to write about the impact Roy and Dale had on my life and you'll find my contribution on pages 201-202. Good friend, Rob Wolfskill of the award winning Western music group The Tumbling Tumbleweeds, writes an essay on the impact Roy Rogers and The Sons of the Pioneers have on their music and performance style on pages 203-204.

The television series that premiered in January 1971 had a short run of only three seasons but its popularity is in inverse proportion to its time on the air. Its fifty episodes were enough to garner fans that have remained loyal to the show for thirty years. Alias Smith & Jones: The Story of Two Pretty Good Bad Men showcases the episodes and provides a behind-the-scenes look at one of the last of television's popular westerns.
About the Authors:
Sandra K. Sagala hails from Erie, PA. Though living in the east, she has become a western historian. Her first love was Alias Smith and Jones, but she's gone on to have University of New Mexico publish her book about Cody's theatrical career, Buffalo Bill on Stage. She's also written several articles on Cody and was awarded a Buffalo Bill Historical Center fellowship to research yet another Cody-related project. She's employed at the Erie County Public Library.
JoAnne M. Bagwell is the westerner of the partnership, a lifelong resident of Orange County, CA. Her love for the television show Alias Smith and Jones led to a deep and abiding interest in screenwriting and a degree in Film Studies. Having met Sandy through an Internet fan group, she at last put her degree to good use in collaborating on Alias Smith and Jones: The Story of Two Pretty Good Bad Men, her first book. JoAnne lives in Mission Viejo, CA and is currently working on a novel.

From the Book Cover:
Who can forget the over-the-top, white-on-white, high-gloss interiors through which Fred Astaire danced in Top Hat? The modernist high-rise architecture, inspired by the work of Frank Lloyd Wright, in the adaptation of Ayn Rand's The Fountainhead? The lavish, opulent drawing rooms of Martin Scorsese's The Age of Innocence? Through the use of film design—called both art direction and production design in the film industry—movies can transport us to new worlds of luxury, highlight the ornament of the everyday, offer a vision of the future, or evoke the realities of a distant era. In Designs on Film, journalist and interior designer Cathy Whitlock illuminates the often undercelebrated role of the production designer in the creation of the most memorable moments in film history. Through a lush collection of rare archival photographs, Whitlock narrates the evolving story of art direction over the course of a century—from the massive Roman architecture of Ben-Hur to the infamous Dakota apartment in Rosemary's Baby to the digital CGI wonders of Avatar's Pandora.
Drawing on insights from the most prominent Hollywood production designers and the historical knowledge of the venerable Art Directors Guild, Whitlock delves into the detailed process of how sets are imagined, drawn, built, and decorated. Designs on Film is the must-have look book for film lovers, movie buffs, and anyone looking to draw interior design inspiration from the constructions and confections of Hollywood. Whitlock lifts the curtain on movie magic and celebrates the many ways in which art direction and set design allow us to lose ourselves in the diverse worlds showcased on the big screen.

Mariachi is more than the music of trumpets and violins: it is the makings of a celebration, a party, a wedding, a festival, or a concert. Mariachi music has evolved from local musicians playing in small Mexican villages to professional artists now appearing in concert halls,sports arenas, and performance stages throughout the world, including the opening ceremonies of the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, China. It is taught in thousands of classrooms throughout the United States.
The author's narrative captures the world of mariachi and its development through her interviews with many mariachis, who give unique perspectives on the culture. Tales of life as a mariachi are interwoven with enlightening biographies of mariachi greats, favorite song lyrics, and forty recipes from the mariachi culture.
Mariachi is taught at UCLA at the Institute of Ethnomusicology and is the center of mariachi graduate studies in the United States.

From the Publisher:
Once again Bob Boze Bell uses his no-nonsense, straight-ahead, visual style, to capture the complex world of the Wild West Bad Man, tracing his beginnings in the 1830s all the way through to the myth, the movies and into the present day.
Written in Bell's patented, chronological timeline style, you will see clearly the proper place of each Bad Man and how they overlap and fit into their respective time and place. To wit, Billy the Kid was just a young schoolboy when the James gang began their bankrobbing career, and likewise, Henry Starr was but a boy when the Kid met his end at Fort Sumner. The reign of California legend, Joaquin Murrieta, is a full 50 years - a full half century! away from the last robberies of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.
Profusely illustrarted with more than 200 photos, and over 100 paintings and illustrations by the author, Bad Men convincingly answers the questions: Were these men worthy of adulation?
This is the fourth in a series of revolutionary style history books, which are informative for young and old alike.
Hardcover. 128 pages with over 100 paintings and illustrations by Bob Boze Bell, and over 200 photographs, many never before published.

Measures 6 x 1.2 x 9 inches

From the Back of the Book Cover:
This is undoubtedly a remarkable book on a period of American history about which much has been written - the period of the Indian wars in the Northwest, from the close of the Civil War until the Custer disaster on the Little Big Horn. It presents in graphic detail and on a vast canvas the great events and the small which reached a decisive crescendo in Custer’s fate. Here is no savage battle incident presented in isolation from other events, but a sweeping panorama of a whole ere-inept, hesitant, and tragic.
To insure comprehensiveness, the author describes the pertinent facts of the Grant administration, the embitterment of the Great Plains tribes, and the deteriorating Civil War army. The book is the record not only of the dashing Seventh Cavalry and its leader but also of the Grant-Custer feud, Sitting Bull, the Belknap scandal, Rain-in-the-Face, the battle strategy of the Indians, and Custer’s military rivals. Particular note is taken of the effect on history of Custer’s recklessness and glory-seeking and of the superstitions and fatalistic determination of the Sioux and the Cheyennes.
The Battle of the Little Big Horn, reconstructed in this account largely on Indian eyewitness testimony, climaxed the long-developing tragedy and provided a "smashing crescendo to the vacillating policy of the United States government...towards the Indians of the Great Plains."
A four color reproduction of an oil painting by John Hauser, entitled "The Challenge," has been selected for the cover of Custer’s Luck. The original canvas is in the collection of the Thomas Gilcrease Institute of American History and Art, Tulsa, Oklahoma, and the publishers gratefully acknowledge the cooperation of that organization in making this reproduction possible.

Custer, The 7th Calvary, and the Little Big Horn! The very names stir the soul - romance, adventure, gunshots, Indian fights - the old West. What happened after Custer rode down the ridge and pitched into the Indian Village? Were there any survivors? Horse and human skeletons with cavalry equipment were found on surrounding ranches.
Some say the dead of the Little Big Horn battle are still around. The author went to the battlefield hoping to see and talk to some of the ghosts that are reputed to have been there. Benny Hodgson could tell us if Reno panicked or was simply overwhelmed; Custer could recount what happened to his two Bulldog pistols and his Remington sporting rifle.
What happened to the pay, watches, religious items, and other personal possessions of Custer and his men-the so-called Custer treasure? Did Captain Marsh of the Far West hide a fortune in gold? Did Custer bury cases of Spencer rifles during the 1874 old expedition?
Custer's Ghosts and Custer's Gold will try to answer some of these questions by research and witness interviews. Good hunting through these pages!
About the Cover Image:
On Decoration Day 1897, nearly twenty-one years after the Battle of the Little Bighorn, memorial exercises were held on the battlefield where General George A. Custer and all of his 263 officers and men under his command were killed by Sioux Indians. The dead were buried where they fell, a white marble slab marking each grave. A white cross stands where Custer's body was found. The first exposure for this photo was made at the battlefield where Custer fell, and the second was made by accident during a re-enactment program, catching Bloody Knife as he appeared in a war dance costume; he with over two hundred Crow and Cheyenne Indians were holding a war dance in the valley just below the battlefield. Was it mere chance, or did the camera see more clearly than eyes of men? Does the weird spectre of knife in hand forever hover over this spot, casting its grim shadow - an emblem of murder and unrest across the white shafts that tell of peace and faith? Or on this anniversary day, did dark eyes glow with triumph and come some red prophet of long ago, invoking the Great Spirit's vengeance for centuries of wrong? Who can tell?

From the Inside Flap:
Finally from the talented pen of author Donald W. Moore and the superb collection of well known historian Glen Swanson, a definitive account of the actions that took place under the command of Major Marcus A. Reno in the valley at the Little Big Horn Battle. The focus of the book is the Valley Fight, which includes Reno's attack on the village and his subsequent retreat, the conditions under which Reno attacked the village, Reno's tatics, the actual location and composition of the Skimish Line, the existence or non-existence of the timber, and Reno's actions and responsibilities. Author Moore looks favorably upon the Major's actions and makes a compelling case in Reno's favor. Using contemporary sources such as witness interviews, memoirs, a detailed examination of the Reno Court of Inquiry official transcript, and a thorough examination of the field of battle, Moore presents a well-reasoned, refreshing new interpretation of this controversial event that launched the famous battle that ended in disaster for General George A. Custer and the 7th Cavalry on June 25, 1876.
The book also includes a chapter, "Locating The Skirmish Line," written by Glen Swanson, enhanced by maps and photographs from his world-class collection.

The Biography of Jefferson Randolph Smith II
Written by Jeff Smith
Publisher: Klondike Research, Paperback
2009 First Edition - Available 1
Signed by the Author as Jeff Smith AND Jeff R. Smith "Alias Soapy"
Very good condition. No wear.
From the Publisher:
The most comprehensive biography of Jefferson Randolph "Soapy" Smith ever written. An extraordinary confidence man, gambler, and all-around bad man is set against the carefully researched historical times of the evolving Old West. Author and great-grandson Jeff Smith spent 25 years researching and writing the life and murderous death of one of the West's most infamous, and some say often unfairly maligned, masters of the criminal arts and natural-born leaders of men. Was Soapy Smith a "good man"? This history points to Sometimes. Was he a "bad man"? Without doubt, Often. In this book, from Georgia to Texas, from Denver and the silver and gold boomtowns of Colorado, to Mexico and the Western states to the great Northwest, and to the last frontier, Alaska, you will travel with Soapy Smith to his criminal empires and final bold, deadly showdown with vigilantes.
This biography of Jefferson Randolph Smith II, Alias Soapy, is written by a great-grandson of the subject, Jeff Smith. After his 24 years of research and writing, it is hard to imagine a more comprehensive biography of Soapy Smith ever being published. The 660 pages, 54 images, and 28-page, double-column index make it a big, accessible book.
The biography begins in pre-revolutionary America, traces the family to Georgia, and follows its subject from birth (November 2, 1860) to death (July 8, 1898). In between is chronicled a remarkable life of opposites—of high ability yet great hardship, of criminality and lawfulness, of sleight of hand and fair dealing, of ruthless human exploitation and uncommon charity, and of good fortune and bad luck, ending in no luck, bold pluck, and violent death.
In his teens and early twenties, Soapy Smith ranged the West, learning to master men and crowds and perfecting illusion in the service of fraud. In about 1888, at age 28, he settled in Denver and became a major figure there until 1895. After “burning all his bridges” one wild night in 1894, he was on the move again, to Mexico, St. Louis, Houston, San Francisco, and Spokane. From the Northwest in 1896, he explored prospects in Alaska, stopping in Juneau long enough to be arrested for auctioning his famous soap. Soapy continued north to Homer, up Cook Inlet to Hope and Sunrise on Turnagain Arm, and then back, not without adventure, to Seattle and Spokane.
Shortly after the steamer Portland docked in Seattle on July 17, 1897, with its fabulously rich miners, Soapy arrived in Skagway on August 22. Less than a year later, he was shot dead on Skagway’s Juneau Wharf. Frank Reid was credited with the deed and hailed as a hero. Reid did shoot it out with Soapy, but biographer Jeff Smith’s research has led to a large block of evidence indicating that another man fired the fatal bullet. This evidence includes two official reports filed by Colonel Sam Steele of the North West Mounted Police, published between book covers for the first time.
The Alaska chapters contain the most sustained period of intense and dramatic activity in Soapy’s thirty-seven and a half years. In Skagway his name was legendary before his death and remains so over 111 years later. Many stories told about Soapy are probably true, but more than a few probably are not. Every story known about Soapy Smith is found in this book and its veracity evaluated. Nothing has been whitewashed or withheld. Bad is bad, and the bad predominates, but there is also a surprising amount of documented good. In his research and development, Jeff thrashed everything, let the wind take the chaff, and heaped all the wheat into his big book.
The focus of this biography is Soapy Smith, a fascinating figure, and his backdrop is U.S. history, particularly as it concerns the evolving Old West (especially Colorado) and the Last Frontier, Alaska. Many of the events, organizations, movements, and people who were part of the historical fabric of Soapy’s time also appear, making for a large and rich tapestry.

Here is your chance to acquire a, now out-of-print, hardcover 2003 edition of this stunning award-winning novel, signed by the author.
Synopsis:
Deep in the untamed Southern Arizona Territory, the United States Army embarks on a final campaign to rid the area of the remaining Apache warriors and capture and kill their famed war chief Geronimo. Legendary for their relentless battle tactics and astounding survival skills, the Apache make a fearsome enemy, able to cut down man, woman, and child in silence, and transverse undetected throughout the rocky terrain.
General Nelson A. Miles is determined to bring a swift end to the war against the Apache. He is also a seasoned Indian fighter, having defeated the Comanche, Sioux, and Cheyenne to the sound of his creed: "Always advance." On his side is Sergeant Ammon Swing and a unique, experimental communications system designed to keep the brigade alert to surrounding dangers. Caught in the middle of the Army and the Apache is Jacob Cox, a rancher trying to bring peace and a new life to his hard patch of land, and to his sister, Martha.
Martha is a woman perfectly suited to her wild new home, able to shoot down an Indian and match wits with any soldier. In the unforgiving desert and treacherous mountains of the Arizona frontier, an unexpected love grows between Martha and Sergeant Swing. The affair leads Martha, her brother, and the army towards a harrowing encounter with the Apache, where some will meet their ends with the blast of a shotgun, while others will rise to become honored heroes.

Young Gillom Rogers has just given the coup de grace to a famous gunfighter involved in a bloody saloon shootout in 1901 El Paso, Texas. After swiping J.B. Books’s matched Remington pistols off his body, Gillom thinks he may be able to ride this spectacle to fame and glory as the last shootist. But Gillom is an eighteen-year-old with lots of growing up to do, and showing off his new pistols quickly gets him into a gunfight he didn’t bargain for.
Gillom sets out for adventure, determined to become a shootist like his hero, John Bernard Books. On his dangerous journey into manhood, he runs into yellow journalists, a New Mexican horse breaker, and a train robber. When he meets a Hispanic saloon dancer named Anel in the booming copper mining town of Bisbee, Arizona, Gillom Rogers is forced to reconsider what kind of man he really wants to be.
Miles Swarthout's The Last Shootist is the sequel to one of the most famous Westerns ever written, and concludes the tale of a junior shootist’s coming-of-age in a dazzling gunfight in a deadly pimp’s whorehouse, as a trio of fiery teenagers ride hard into a new twentieth century.

This is the first of a three book series - and Book 2 Colorado Moon is equally engaging. I can't wait for Book 3 Waning Moon. Jim Jones pen, like the lyrics he sings, writes the truth -not always easy to read/hear but what our hearts long for.
From the Book Cover:
Jared Delaney rides into Cimarrón, New Mexico in 1878 looking for a job, a cold beer and a warm bed but instead finds himself in the crossfire of a vicious range war that forces him to choose sides. Orphaned by outlaws who shot down his parents in cold blood, Jared's childhood is shrouded in a mysterious fog leaving him with no memories and nightmares of a malevolent voice and the coldest blue eyes he's ever seen.
Jared doesn't want to get involved in the local troubles, yet everyone he meets tugs at him to join their faction. On one side, there's the tough old sheriff, the beautiful and outspoken schoolteacher, and a struggling rancher and his wife. On the other is a slick bartender, a "soiled dove" and the powerful patron who seems disturbingly familiar. By the light of the rustler's moon, Jared makes his stand and faces down his demons.
Rustler's Moon is followed by Colorado Moon and Waning Moon.

He has married Eleanor, the love of his life, and manages the Kilpatrick ranch north of Cimarrón. Embarking on a cattle drive to Colorado to secure the future of the ranch, he faces monumental challenges...stampedes, rustlers, blizzards and threatening Indians.
While Jared is gone, Sheriff Nathan Averill discovers another sinister plot by the Santa Fe Ring as they send three homicidal killers to Cimarrón. They threaten Eleanor Delaney and Lizbeth Kilpatrick, trying to wrest control of the ranch from them. Expecting to find helpless victims, the gunmen are in for the surprise of their lives as the women fight back with weapons and wiles. Jared races back from Colorado to lend a hand as the conflict comes to a head in a hail of bullets.

From the Author:
“Bugles in The Sun” tells the story of the troopers of the 7th United States Cavalry as they approach the valley of the Little Bighorn in southeast Montana Territory. The story is not one of intense action but more the story of the men that lived and died with the 7th on that fateful Sunday in June of Eighteen Seventy-six.
The story is told through the eyes and writings of John J. Conolly, a thirty-five year old Corporal with Company I under the command of Captain Myles Keogh. Still being young enough that his energy and belief in the system and country have not yet been compromised by the mutterings and musings of his fellow troopers, Conolly was a staunch supporter of the commander of the 7th and his Company Commander, Myles Keogh. As complaining was extremely common within the services, the level at which the 7th Cavalry complained was well known throughout the cavalry community, as their fighting song, ‘Garryowen’, was known, yet, the basic moral throughout the 7th was top notch.
The field commander of the 7th was Lt. Colonel (Bvt Lieutenant General) George Armstrong Custer, affectionately, or not, called ‘Old Iron Pants’ or ‘Hard Ass’ by the troopers, and frequently called ‘a son of a bitch’ by more than a few of the officers. Corporal Conolly kept a journal on this expedition so his young sons would have a record of their father’s days in the 7th Cavalry and a sense of pride in their country. Conolly’s journal tells us of the weariness, fatigue, loneliness, boredom and trepidation the men of the 7th feel as they approach their inevitable clash with history.

From the Publisher:
Following the American Civil War, the freed slaves began the migration to the north and the west. Many freedmen became respected and valued cowboys on some of the largest ranches in the west.
This is the story of two brothers, Bountiful Jim Lent and Lewis Bishop. Both hard working hands but with an awful story to tell. Lewis' direct family including his sister, her husband, their baby and his father are killed in a raid by the hooded citizens known as the Nightriders, a holdout of the old slave hunters and killers during the slavery period. The raid ignites what would become to be known as the Williamson Valley War and would drag in some of the territory's toughest fighters and gunmen in a last ditch effort too reclaim what rightly belongs to the two brothers and their neighbors.

Synopsis:
Gathered in one book are the first three tales from the pen of author Jim Christina. His main characters, Hunter and Jolly Goodman, are men of the 1880's. Here's how the author describes them in his debut novel:
In writing The Hunter, I tried to not only show some of the hardships that were endured but the real everyday lives of people in the 1880's. As now, people weren't throwaways. They had purpose in their lives and a sense of right and wrong, they had a sense of purpose and perhaps destiny. Even at fifty eight and seventy three the Hunter and Jolly were men with a zest for life and an ability to accomplish what few men were.
These men came alive for me. They became flesh and blood, bone and gristle. They bled when injured, drank too much and cussed like sailors but they are bound by an oath taken years before and never broken by either one.
I hope you enjoy the story as much as I enjoyed writing it.

From our Purveyor of Books:
Author Jim Christina takes us on a ride into familiar territory, yet changes things up with new places and characters. If you've been following the Hunter Tales, this new Western adventure has Hunter passing on his trade to a perfect, willing student from Waco, Texas...Jeff Stryker. As is Christina's style, the language is salty, the action hot and fast, the characters memorable, and the scenic West it's perfect setting. This is the fourth book from Jim Christina's pen, and we hope, more will follow!
From the Author's Foreword:
While writing the Hunter novel, The Rights of Men, an itch started in me to change up a little. Slowly a realization hit me that the perfect character for his own story was that of young Jeff Styker of the Circle-J ranch and a staunch supporter of both the Hunter and Jolly Goodman.
From Waco, Texas came two young hands Jeff Stryker and Bobby Malloy. In a horrible twist of fate the jovial and always upbeat Bobby is killed when marauders attach the South Pond on the Circle-J.
The Hunter, for the first time, is feeling his mortality and wants to pass o his trade, teach his craft...and Stryker is a perfect student. Willing to learn, a quick study and eventually, at an early age, he too becomes a hunter of men.
The locations are the same southeastern Arizona Territory as the Hunter novels and some of the characters are the same but the story is decidedly different. Stryker learns that whereas he has learned his trade there is always something else he can learn. As his friend, Bobby Malloy, once told him, "If'n you cain't learn somethin everyday then you're brain's doin something wrong." And so Jeff Stryker continues his education in the mountains and deserts of the Arizona Territory.
In this story he is forced to take up the hunt on his own after the Hunter is seriously injured by a fall in the mountains. The hunt for el Fantasma (the Ghost) leads him into Mexico hunting the worst killer in Arizona history. He is thrust into a scenerio he never dreamed he would have to be a part of, yet the hunt is too magnetic for him to break it off.
But Stryker has a secret, one that he has never shared with anyone but his friend Bobby Malloy. It is this secret that makes Jeff Stryker unique and deadly.
I hope you enjoy the story of Jeff Stryker as much as you enjoyed the Hunter stories and as much as I did while writing it because it's not so much the story of a young man as it is the story of a young man learning his potential and coming of age in hard times and in a hard way.

But, thrown into the mix are two thugs from the 5th Ward in New York, Spats Melloy and Mr. O'Brien sent to kill Phineas over an expose' he wrote about the 5th Ward boss, Michael J. McManus, Big Mike, who is also in route to Arizona.
The race is now on for the Hunter and Jeff Stryker to get Phineas out of harms way and into the safe haven of Tombstone before either the Sonora Desert, Spats, Mr. O'Brien or Whitey and Lenny catch up to him.

The dialogue is fast and fresh as are the characters in this rollicking good yarn. Belly laughs abound as you follow the groups across the desert in search of safety and each other. Come join the Hunter and Stryker as they ply their trade and once again show the compassion and strength they posses.
