The Tenderfoot Bride by Cheryl St. John Pdf

A sweet Western romance from the beloved author with “a style reminiscent of LaVyrle Spencer’s earliest books” (Linda Howard, New York Times–bestselling author of The Woman Left Behind). Secrets and lies made poor references, Linnea McConaughy knew. But her survival depended upon keeping her past hidden, especially from her employer, rancher Will Tucker. True, he’d shown her kindness, even tenderness, but could he ever accept her shameful past—and another man’s baby? Will Tucker did not like surprises, and Linnea McConaughy was not the sturdy, past-her-prime widow he’d expected to manage his household. Instead, she was a tiny slip of womanhood desperately seeking a place to belong. Yet much to his growing surprise, that place seemed to be in his home—and his heart!

A Tenderfoot Bride : Tales from an Old Ranch by Clarice E. Richards Pdf

A Tenderfoot Bride : Tales from an Old Ranch I got up and stood by the window looking out upon a world of silver. Myriads of stars shone faintly in the heavens dimmed by the glory of the moon, the pale outline of the mountain was just visible, and, as on that first day when my heart was so heavy, I felt the sense of confusion give way to peace. From the vast spaces, under the guardianship of that commanding summit, we had gained a new sense of proportion, freedom from hampering trivialities and a broader vision of life and its responsibilities. Standing there in the moonlight facing the mountain, I saw in it more than a symbol and source of strength; to me it had become indeed the abiding place of a God. Looking back over the years, all the changes revealed only the evolution of a wondrous plan. We had launched our frail barque in the midst of the prairie sea at the ebb of the tide of the wild, lawless days of the West; with the flow we had been carried through the years of a well-ordered pastoral existence to the era of agricultural productivity, and on each succeeding wave we had seen civilization borne higher and higher toward the ultimate goal set by the Great Spirit. Ours had been, indeed, a wonderful experience.

A Tenderfoot Bride by Clarice E. Richards Pdf

"[...]him; there was a weird fascination in following the movements of that fork. It was prescience which led me to do so, for old Bohm suddenly ceased using it as a toilet article and jabbed it into a piece of meat, which he held out toward me. “Here, Mrs. Brook, have some more beef. I've been talkin' along here and clean forgot you folks must be hungry.” I assured him I couldn't eat another bite. It was the most truthful statement of my life. That night I lay awake for hours, thinking over the day's experiences, and incidentally trying to find a spot on the mattress where a lump did not threaten to press a rib out of place. At last I fell asleep, to be suddenly awakened by the slam of a gate under our window, followed by an exclamation which floated up out of the grey dawn: “By hell, but this is a fine day.” Then came the squeak of the pump handle, as old Bohm performed his morning ablutions, more slams of[...]".

A Tenderfoot Bride by Clarice Estabrook Richards Pdf

Excerpt from A Tenderfoot Bride: Tales From an Old Ranch The driver said he was called Tex. He was a true son of Texas, and it was not diffi cult to imagine that particles of his native soil still clung to him. The deep creases in his neck were so filled with dirt that he looked like a charcoal sketch. As he turned his face, lined and seamed, I saw that his chin was covered with at least a week's growth of greyish - black beard. I estimated his age. He might have been fifty; very quick in speech and action, yet there was a subdued power about the man. He managed the horses easily, and I caught in his draw] ing speech a casual, half-bantering tone. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

A Tenderfoot Bride: Tales from an Old Ranch by Clarice E. Richards Pdf

"A Tenderfoot Bride" is a memoir by Clarice E. Richards of Dayton, Ohio, who moved to a ranch in Elbert County, Colorado, east of Pikes Peak, in 1900. She was a bride of Jarvis Richards, a former Congregational minister from Vermont. It was an unlikely landing spot for these two educated easterners, but Clarice, with her inquisitiveness and lively sense of humor, became extensively westernized as she witnessed the high tide of the wild, lawless days, followed by much more grazing eras of the sheepman and farmer. Excerpt: "When our train left Colorado Springs and headed out into those vast stretches of the prairie, which spread East like a great green ocean from the foot of Pike's Peak, all the sensations of Christopher Columbus setting sail for a new world, and a few peculiarly my own, mingled in my breast. As the train pounded along I stole a look at Owen. He was absorbed in the contemplation of a map of our new holdings. Under that calm exterior I suspected hidden attributes of the primitive man. Certainly, there was some reason why Western life was to his liking, having had the chance to choose."
