The Story.......... Ray ‘Coop’ Cooper had been a bounty hunter for two years, but now after losing his partner to a medical condition, he considered putting his guns up since he no longer had a backup. In the midst of his last caper, his life was saved by a woman and a dog. After much haggling, the gal convinced him to take her on as his backup. After several successful capers, Ray saw the need to protect this impish gal called Elle—double E double L. Seeing the need for stability, the Duo purchased a gun-shop and spent time promoting it. Coop came to a realistic awareness that bounty hunting was too dangerous for a family man, and the slow pace of a gun-shop was not his style. It was serendipity when a neighbor convinced them to purchase a 2,500-acre woodlot, set up a state-of-the-are sawmill, get some training, and become millionaires in eight years. After a month of training in Houston, they returned with four friends, and proceeded to set up a sawmill. After growing woes and making changes, the team became proficient. In time they added a kiln, then enlarged it, added a planer, and organized the first known sawmill ‘open house’ to promote and sell their quality products.
The Story........ A wagon train hired US Marshall and a college trained agronomist decide to play the part of a married couple to allow a single female an easier passage to the 1000 miles to Idaho. For weeks they learned how life was on a wagon train as Cole worked as a scout looking for known outlaw gangs. Each night Tess would present the facts about growing vegetables, especially potatoes in Idaho, as Cole saw the end of wagon trains, and got interested in vegetable farming. At the same time, the Duo fell in love. After finally bringing the Barber gang to justice, The Duo made plans to leave the train. Having made friends with the Pulaskis, a family of farmers with four teenage boys, they hired them to operate their farm in Idaho once they arrived. To prepare for their arrival, the Duo took the train and covered the last 500 miles in 24 hours. Once there they bought a ranch with buildings and land. They then purchased workhorses, implements, old manure piles; as they arranged for building a hay, implement, and potato shed. When the Pulaskis arrived in mid-July, they were given the goal of cultivating and fertilizing 400 acres out of harvested hay fields by Oct 1st. By April 1st they planted potatoes, sugar beets, carrots, onions, and turnips. After a summer of maintaining the crops, the fall harvest arrived. Over the years, they expanded the crop acreage and became wealthy, as all their workers prospered and the next generation stayed on.

The Evolution of a State or Recollections of Old Texas Days by Noah Smithwick Pdf
This colorful memoir brings the Texas frontier to life, from smuggling adventures to fighting in the Texas Revolution and serving as a Texas Ranger. Having left Kentucky at nineteen, Noah Smithwick arrived in Texas in 1827 to seek his fortune in a “lazy man’s paradise.” He left in 1861, when his opposition to secession took him to California. Looking back at that time, blind and nearing ninety, Smithwick recounted the story to his daughter—and so came to be this invaluable memoir of “old Texas days.” A blacksmith and a tobacco smuggler, Smithwick made weapons for—and fought in—the Battle of Concepción. With Hensley's company, he chased the Mexican army south of the Rio Grande after the Battle of San Jacinto. Twice he served with the Texas Rangers. In quieter times, he was a postmaster and justice of the peace in little Webber's Prairie. Eyewitness to so much Texas history, Smithwick recounts his life and adventures in a simple, straightforward style, with a wry sense of humor. His keen memory for detail—what people wore and ate; how they worked and played— vividly evokes life on the frontier.
The Story....... The story starts as a ‘burnt-out’ bounty hunter and a ‘floundering’ waitress find each other. After a week of stepping out, they fall in love. Realizing they had both been lifelong ‘range rats,’ the two set out to build a business out of reloading once fired brass. Needing a prototype automatic machine to sort and load ammo, they went to Salt Lake City to learn how to operate such machines. Concurrently they made friends with three other couples in similar training classes. After one month, they returned to Denver to purchase a building, renovate it, purchase houses for their friends’ housing, and arranged for the automated sorters and reloaders to be installed. With their six friends as essential workers, the factory was producing 220,000 loaded rounds per week and turned out some incredible profits till things came to a halt with the impending WWI. Electing not to be commandeered but to work with the War Department, the business prospered making 30-06 rifle and 45 ACP pistol ammo. With the end of the war in 1917, the business went thru the 1918 Influenza pandemic and was closed for months. After that, the business flourished during the Roaring 20’s till the Stock Market crash of 1929. The business again closed during the Great Depression till the late 1930’s in preparation for WWII. After that war, the Duo now in their late 50’s and wealthy, passed the business to their son and daughter.
