Meet Jake Willow. A young cowboy stuck in Utah decided to strike out on his own, go the California, Sacramento, and maybe even San Francisco. He was looking to get on with his life, get a girl, and perhaps a wife. He had put in a couple of years as a lawman, done his share of killing and was looking for something more. Truth is he was lonely.Starting high in the Sierra Nevada Mountains, the wagon trail from Carson City to Placerville, Frankie Stephano take you back to a bygone era of gold and silver mines, transcontinental rail lines and the beginnings of indoor plumbing. Our young cowboy follows a rough and tumble life tangling with hired guns, gamblers and fast women, finding himself in Los Angeles. Jake got off the train from Sacramento looking for the city life and maybe a city girl. Little did he know, he was in Chinatown. Frankie Stephano takes you everywhere you want to go with these three Western romances and everywhere you shouldn't, all in three exciting stories. Set in the 1880s, Ms. Stephano's first run at this classic genre, is right out of the pages of a Zane Gray novel, and with due respect, the streets of Philadelphia. La Veradá, Chinatown and Trabuco Oaks.
The term pulp fiction has always had a certain resonance; but it is the artwork--bold, energized, dramatic, garishly colorful, and frequently grotesque--that has made pulp magazines memorable to so many people. Pulp Art is the groundbreaking--and ultimate--book on one of America's most important and spectacular forms of illustration art. At last, preserved in this volume are most of the still-existing originals created for the pulp covers, never before seen in all their sharply focused, vibrantly colored brilliance. Robert Lesser, a pioneering collector of this work and an expert on American popular culture, has assembled a gallery of these now-priceless originals. The dynamically pulp-flavored text is a complete historical survey of the pulps and their most important cover artists--Virgil Finlay, J. Allen St. John, Rafael de Soto, Hannes Bok, George and Jerome Rozen, Frank R. Paul, and many others. Also offered are critical discussions of individual paintings, as well as the major themes of the pulp magazines.
An Oprah Magazine Best Romance Novel of 2020 In this brand-new series from award-winning author Rebekah Weatherspoon, a charming cowboy and his sleeping beauty find their modern-day happily ever after . . . With a headline spot on a hit morning show and truly mouth-watering culinary skills, chef Evie Buchanan is perched on the edge of stardom. But at an industry party, a fall lands Evie in the hospital—with no memory of who she is. Scrambling to help, Evie’s assistant contacts the only “family” Evie has left, close friends who run the luxury dude ranch in California where Evie grew up. Evie has no recollection of them—until former rodeo champion Zach Pleasant walks into her hospital room, and she realizes his handsome face has been haunting her dreams . . . Zach hasn’t seen Evie in years—not since their families conducted a campaign to make sure their childhood friendship never turned into anything more. When the young cowboy refused to admit the feelings between them were real, Evie left California, making it clear she never wanted to see Zach again. Now he refuses to make the same mistake twice. Starting fresh is a risk when they have a history she can’t recall, but Zach can’t bear to let go of her now. Can he awaken the sleeping beauty inside her who might still love him?
Although John D. MacDonald published seventy novels and more than five hundred short stories in his lifetime, he is remembered best for his Travis McGee series. He introduced McGee in 1964 with The Deep Blue Goodbye. With Travis McGee, MacDonald changed the pattern of the hardboiled private detectives who preceeded him. McGee has a social conscience, holds thoughtful conversations with his retired economist buddy Meyer, and worries about corporate greed, racism and the Florida ecolgoy in a long series whose brand recognition for the series the author cleverly advanced by inserting a color in every title. Merrill carefully builds a picture of a man who in unexpected ways epitomized the Horatio Alger sagas that comprised his strict father's secular bible. From a financially struggling childhood and a succession of drab nine-to-five occupations, MacDonald settled down to writing for a living (a lifestyle that would have horrified his father). He worked very hard and was rewarded with a more than decent livelihood. But unlike Alger's heroes, MacDonald had a lot of fun doing it.
E. Hoffmann Price’s War and Western Action MEGAPACK® by E. Hoffmann Price Pdf
Edgar Hoffmann Price (1898 - 1988) was an American writer of popular fiction (he was a self-titled 'fictioneer') for the pulp magazine marketplace. He is probably most famous for his collaboration with H. P. Lovecraft, "Through the Gates of the Silver Key," though he published hundreds of other works. This volume collects 19 of his western and war stories. Note that this volume, as with much pulp fiction of the era, is not politically correct by modern standards. It is a product of its era and should be viewed in that context.

The working cowboy would never be found in great abundance in the pulp magazines, or in the dime novels, in hard- or soft-cover books, or something else. A man for all seasons, the cowboy of fiction survives because of the genius of first-rate authors like James Fenimore Cooper and such modern masters of the art as Fred Glidden (Luke Short) and Ernest Haycox, and in spite of the works of hacks like Edward Judson (Ned Buntline). This book covers a generation, the pulp era of the 1920s, 30s, and 40s of pulp fictioneers who cranked out millions, perhaps even hundreds of millions, or words for the several hundred western pulp magazines then active. It also provides a short history of the origins of Western American fiction, plus a brief commentary on the genres evolution into the paperback era.
A western historical of forbidden love, rich with vivid details of daily life and death struggles during the California Gold Rush. Born of Indian blood, Lydia is the adopted daughter of a poor white farmer. Viewed as a savage, she is never accepted by the community. When violence against her family escalates, she leaves the Ozarks to join a westward wagon train, hoping to find her Indian family, a home, and place where she can be accepted. Wary of strangers, she resists her growing attraction to the handsome gun-slinging trail boss, who arouses the savage heart she has always feared. Joe only wants to collect his fee for leading a wagon train of pioneers to California so he can pay off the gambling debts he inherited from his father. Haunted by the gambling, womanizing ways of his father, Joe has sworn off serious relationships. He doesn't expect an Indian maiden to capture his heart. But how can their love survive the hatred for Indians that surrounds them? Can Lydia give up life with her Indian family to find a home with the man she loves?
Pulp Classics by John Betancourt,Robert Leslie Bellem,Lew Merrill Pdf
The famous "Spicy" pulp magazines of the 1930s and 1940s are among the rarest and most sought-after publications by collectors. The "Spicy" magazines -- which included Spicy Mystery, Spicy Adventure, Spicy Detective, and others -- published a titilating mix of fantasy, horror, mystery, action-adventure, and suspense, punctuated by episodes of torture, sadism, sex, and other risque elements. Although tame by current standards, and sometimes of dubious literary merit, these publications presented tales which thrilled a sensation-hungry audience. Despite the themes and constraints of the market, writers who would later become famous -- including Hugh B. Cave, E. Hoffman Price, Robert Leslie Bellem, and many more -- were frequent contributors. The December 1939 issue of Spicy Adventure Stories includes contributions from Robert Leslie Bellem, Lew Merrill (Victor Rousseau), Hugh Speer, Ken Cooper, Clayton Maxwell, Clark Nelson, and Harley L. Court.

The Great Depression in America [2 volumes] by William H. Young,Nancy K. Young Pdf
Everything from Amos n' Andy to zeppelins is included in this expansive two volume encyclopedia of popular culture during the Great Depression era. Two hundred entries explore the entertainments, amusements, and people of the United States during the difficult years of the 1930s. In spite of, or perhaps because of, such dire financial conditions, the worlds of art, fashion, film, literature, radio, music, sports, and theater pushed forward. Conditions of the times were often mirrored in the popular culture with songs such as Brother Can You Spare a Dime, breadlines and soup kitchens, homelessness, and prohibition and repeal. Icons of the era such as Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, Louis Armstrong, Bing Crosby, F. Scott Fitzgerald, George and Ira Gershwin, Jean Harlow, Billie Holiday, the Marx Brothers, Roy Rogers, Frank Sinatra, and Shirley Temple entertained many. Dracula, Gone With the Wind, It Happened One Night, and Superman distracted others from their daily worries. Fads and games - chain letters, jigsaw puzzles, marathon dancing, miniature golf, Monopoly - amused some, while musicians often sang the blues. Nancy and William Young have written a work ideal for college and high school students as well as general readers looking for an overview of the popular culture of the 1930s. Art deco, big bands, Bonnie and Clyde, the Chicago's World Fair, Walt Disney, Duke Ellington, five-and-dimes, the Grand Ole Opry, the jitter-bug, Lindbergh kidnapping, Little Orphan Annie, the Olympics, operettas, quiz shows, Seabiscuit, vaudeville, westerns, and Your Hit Parade are just a sampling of the vast range of entries in this work. Reference features include an introductory essay providing an historical and cultural overview of the period, bibliography, and index.
The Creation of the Cowboy Hero by Jeremy Agnew Pdf
As business interests have commercialized the American West and publishers and studios have created compelling imagery, the expectations of readers and moviegoers have influenced perceptions of the cowboy as a hero. This book describes the evolution of the cowboy hero as a mythic persona created by dime novels, television and Hollywood. Much of our concept of the cowboy comes to us from movies and the book's main focus is his changing image in cinema. The development of the hero image and the fictional West is traced from early novels and films to the present, along with shifting audience expectations and economic pressures.
