Rawhide Jake: Learning the Ropes by JD Arnold Pdf

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.

Rawhide Jake by JD Arnold Pdf

Lawman. Maverick. Legend. On the unforgiving plains of Texas Cattle Country, a man is either tough or he’s left in the dust… and a man like Jonas V. Brighton doesn’t ride drag. After learning the ropes under his friend Wes Wilson, Jake embarks on his first solo assignment as a stock detective—going undercover to root out a gang of rustlers operating out of the Flying XC Ranch. Amidst the thundering hooves and swirling dust of the spring cattle roundup, he not only takes down the rustlers, he saves the life of the ranch’s cow boss, as well. Fueled by his exploits at the Flying XC, the legend of Rawhide Jake spreads through every two-bit cathouse and cattle camp on the range. Fame is a double-edged branding iron, though, painting a target on his back for every gunslinger and yahoo looking for glory. With danger dogging his every step, Jake finds solace in the arms of forbidden love and a marriage born from an unexpected twist of fate. Reuniting with his old partner Wes to run down a vicious new crew of rustlers, they find themselves battling both the outlaws and the raw elements themselves as they try to prevent the largest cattle theft in Texas history. Triumph turns to tragedy, though, when accusations of murder stain Jake's honor, branding him unjustly. Haunted by the specter of injustice, he turns in his badge and leaves the Lone Star State, seeking solace amidst uncharted territories of Arizona. A thrilling blend of historical fact and wild Western lore, Rawhide Jake: Lone Star Fame is a vivid portrait of a man navigating love, loyalty, and the ever-shifting scales of justice in an unforgiving land where change is the only certainty.

Morality in Cormac McCarthy's Fiction by Russell M. Hillier Pdf

This book argues that McCarthy’s works convey a profound moral vision, and use intertextuality, moral philosophy, and questions of genre to advance that vision. It focuses upon the ways in which McCarthy’s fiction is in ceaseless conversation with literary and philosophical tradition, examining McCarthy’s investment in influential thinkers from Marcus Aurelius to Hannah Arendt, and poets, playwrights, and novelists from Dante and Shakespeare to Fyodor Dostoevsky and Antonio Machado. The book shows how McCarthy’s fiction grapples with abiding moral and metaphysical issues: the nature and problem of evil; the idea of God or the transcendent; the credibility of heroism in the modern age; the question of moral choice and action; the possibility of faith, hope, love, and goodness; the meaning and limits of civilization; and the definition of what it is to be human. This study will appeal alike to readers, teachers, and scholars of Cormac McCarthy.

Lakota Woman by Mary Crow Dog,Richard Erdoes Pdf

The bestselling memoir of a Native American woman’s struggles and the life she found in activism: “courageous, impassioned, poetic and inspirational” (Publishers Weekly). Mary Brave Bird grew up on the Rosebud Indian Reservation in South Dakota in a one-room cabin without running water or electricity. With her white father gone, she was left to endure “half-breed” status amid the violence, machismo, and aimless drinking of life on the reservation. Rebelling against all this—as well as a punishing Catholic missionary school—she became a teenage runaway. Mary was eighteen and pregnant when the rebellion at Wounded Knee happened in 1973. Inspired to take action, she joined the American Indian Movement to fight for the rights of her people. Later, she married Leonard Crow Dog, the AIM’s chief medicine man, who revived the sacred but outlawed Ghost Dance. Originally published in 1990, Lakota Woman was a national bestseller and winner of the American Book Award. It is a story of determination against all odds, of the cruelties perpetuated against American Indians, and of the Native American struggle for rights. Working with Richard Erdoes, one of the twentieth century’s leading writers on Native American affairs, Brave Bird recounts her difficult upbringing and the path of her fascinating life.
