It's Up to Charlie Hardin by Dean Ing Pdf

An adventure_filled coming of age story set in World War II era Austin, Texas. It is the summer of 1942, and young teen Charlie Hardin has been set loose on the streets of Austin, Texas with only one command from his parents: stay out of trouble. Charlie means to do just that. He never wants to disobey, but sometimes in a boy's life situations come up that he cannot ignore and still be true_blue to his own restless soul. And when that time comes . . . It's up to Charlie Hardin. It's up to Charlie Hardin when a secret path over a wall topped with glass shards needs cutting through an ancient oak, even if that means venturing out on the brittle ends of tree limbs where any fall could break an arm, a leg_or a neck. It's up to Charlie Hardin when a dog_shooting neighbor must be taught to keep his hands off Charlie's loyal best friend, even if that means inventing the world's most effective long_range pumpkin slingshot. And it's up to Charlie Hardin to explore a boy_sized storm culvert that leads into darkness simply because that's what a red_blooded boy has to do, even if it leads to the heart of a perilous criminal plot built on Nazi schemes and greed. Charlie understands that, no matter the cost, when danger arrives at his doorstep, to be brave, resolute, clever_and sometimes just a tiny bit nuts_is the only thing that counts, when all is said and done. For the one surefire ingredient every glorious summer adventure always requires is a willing and resolute adventurer. And in Austin, Texas, in the summer of 1942, that adventurer comes in the form of one unstoppable young teenager named Charlie Hardin!

HARDIN'S LEGACY by R. Bunch Pdf

Hardin Hammond was just an infant in his mother's arms when the family was thrown out of their home by Federal soldiers in August of 1862, the beginning of the Civil War. Hardin's parents, John Robert and Mary Owen Hammond, moved their family deeper into the Missouri countryside to escape the war. By following his father's sage advice, Hardin grew to be a hardworking and honest man. He faced many challenges in his forty-six years of life. He outwitted would-be thieves and murderers at age fifteen while traveling alone to attend business school in Quincy, Illinois. He mourned the loss of nine of his thirteen siblings and that of his beloved wife, Lillie, when she was only thirty-eight-years-old. Because of his vow to "do the right thing," Hardin experienced many successes. His ranch, Pleasant Valley Stock Farm, flourished, and he was recognized in his community for his service to humanity and his upright moral and ethical values. Based upon the Hammond family history preserved throughout the years, Hardin's Legacy is one man's story of success, compassion, love, and tragedy. His values and philosophy were embodied in his life's motto, "endeavor to do right."

Captain Woodrow Call, August McCrae's old partner, is now a bounty hunter hired to track down a brutal young Mexican bandit.

The Lonesome Dove Series by Larry McMurtry Pdf

The timeless, bestselling four-part epic that began with the Pulitzer Prize-winning Lonesome Dove takes readers into the lives of Augustus McCrae and Woodrow Call, two tough-as-nails Texas Rangers in the heyday of the Old West. Dead Man’s Walk As young Texas Rangers, Augustus McCrae and Woodrow Call--"Gus" and "Call" for short--have much to learn about survival in a land fraught with perils: not only the blazing heat and raging tornadoes, roiling rivers and merciless Indians, but also the deadly whims of soldiers. On their first expeditions--led by incompetent officers and accompanied by the robust, dauntless whore known as the Great Western--they will face death at the hands of the cunning Comanche war chief Buffalo Hump and the silent Apache Gomez. They will be astonished by the Mexican army. And Gus will meet the love of his life. Comanche Moon Texas Rangers August McCrae and Woodrow Call, now in their middle years, are still figuring out how to deal with the ever-increasing tensions of adult life--Gus with his great love, Clara Forsythe, and Call with Maggie Tilton, the young whore who loves him--when they sign up to pursue the Comanche horse thief Kicking Wolf into Mexico. On this mission their captain, Inish Scull, is captured by the brutally cruel Mexican bandit Ahumado, and Gus and Call must come to the rescue, with the aid of new friends including Joshua Deets, Jake Spoon, and Pea Eye Parker, as well as the renowned Kickapoo tracker, Famous Shoes. Lonesome Dove Gus and Call, now retired from the Texas Rangers and settled in the border town of Lonesome Dove running the Hat Creek Cattle Company, are visited by their old friend Jake Spoon, who convinces Gus and Call to gather a herd of cattle and drive them north to Montana in order to start a cattle ranch in untouched territory. Gus is further motivated by a desire to see the love of his life, Clara Allen (nee Forsythe), who now lives with her children and comatose horse-trader husband in Ogallala, Nebraska. On the way to Montana they travel through wild country full of thieves, murderers, and a lifetime's worth of unforgettable adventure. Streets of Laredo Woodrow Call is back in Texas, a Ranger once again and a general gun-for-hire, but increasingly a relic as the westward sprawl of the railroads rapidly settles the once lawless frontier. Hired by a railroad tycoon to hunt down a dangerous bandit named Joey Garza, Call sets out once again with a hapless Yankee named Ned Brookshire who works for the railroad company that hired Call. Call's old friend Pea Eye Parker--who initially refused to join the expedition because of his family--sets off with the Kickapoo tracker Famous Shoes to try to catch up with Call, until he runs into troubles of his own. The long pursuit of Garza leads them all across the last wild stretches of the West into a hellhole known as Crow Town and, finally, into the vast, relentless plains of the Texas frontier.

Coming All the Way Home by Fred McCarthy Pdf

In 1968, twenty-one-year-old Fred McCarthy transitioned from the monastic life of a seminary student to that of a U.S. Army helicopter gunship commander in Vietnam. Despite preparation from a family tradition of decorated combat service, a strong sense of patriotism, a love for aviation, and a desire for adventure, he got far more than he bargained for. Written after 50 years of reflection, reading, and study, this memoir tells both a universal story about war, adventure, and perseverance and, also shares the intensely personal experience of the Vietnam War and its legacy for those who fought in it. McCarthy describes many of his missions, reflects on the nature of being a combat helicopter pilot, and processes the experience through his poetry, letters home, and reflective analysis.
