Wyatt's Wager by Caroline Lee Pdf

Wyatt Cauldron has a gift. He’s never--not once in his life—lost a wager. When his brothers and cousins start getting married, he’s happy to accept their bets that he’ll wind up hitched, since he knows that’s never going to happen. Because there’s only one woman in the world he can imagine marrying, and as his best friend’s little sister, she’s off-limits. Artemis Weston has had a crush on her brother’s best friend for as long as she can remember. But Wyatt has made it clear he has no intention of settling down…ever. So she’s thrown herself into her career as a vet tech, and vowed to forget how good a certain green-eyed cowboy could make her feel. Right up until the phone rings, and Wyatt’s on the other end, asking for a date. When his best friend offers him a wager, Wyatt jumps at the chance to spend time with Artie, and dating her is just as wonderful as he imagined. But sooner or later, she’s going to figure out he’s only with her because of her brother’s bet, and that’s when their hearts are going to be hurt. Maybe, for once, it would’ve been better to lose this particular wager… Read less

Wyatt Earp: A Vigilante Life by Andrew C. Isenberg Pdf

Finalist for the 2014 Weber-Clements Book Prize for the Best Non-fiction Book on Southwestern America In popular culture, Wyatt Earp is the hero of the Gunfight at the O.K. Corral in Tombstone, Arizona, and a beacon of rough cowboy justice in the tumultuous American West. The subject of dozens of films, he has been invoked in battles against organized crime (in the 1930s), communism (in the 1950s), and al-Qaeda (after 2001). Yet as the historian Andrew C. Isenberg reveals in Wyatt Earp: A Vigilante Life, the Hollywood Earp is largely a fiction—one created by none other than Earp himself. The lawman played on-screen by Henry Fonda and Burt Lancaster is stubbornly duty-bound; in actuality, Earp led a life of impulsive lawbreaking and shifting identities. When he wasn't wearing a badge, he was variously a thief, a brothel bouncer, a gambler, and a confidence man. As Isenberg writes, "He donned and shucked off roles readily, whipsawing between lawman and lawbreaker, and pursued his changing ambitions recklessly, with little thought to the cost to himself, and still less thought to the cost, even the deadly cost, to others." By 1900, Earp's misdeeds had caught up with him: his involvement as a referee in a fixed heavyweight prizefight brought him national notoriety as a scoundrel. Stung by the press, Earp set out to rebuild his reputation. He spent his last decades in Los Angeles, where he befriended Western silent film actors and directors. Having tried and failed over the course of his life to invent a better future for himself, in the end he invented a better past. Isenberg argues that even though Earp, who died in 1929, did not live to see it, Hollywood's embrace of him as a paragon of law and order was his greatest confidence game of all. A searching account of the man and his enduring legend, and a book about our national fascination with extrajudicial violence, Wyatt Earp: A Vigilante Life is a resounding biography of a singular American figure.

by Lorina Ewing Pdf

The alliance begins life in Nome, Alaska, eventually building an upscale saloon and prosperous house of ill repute.

Honor in the Dust by Gilbert Morris Pdf

The grandfather of Christian fiction returns with the story of what happened to the winslow family during an earlier era when the Tudors reigned—tracing the doomed rise of Stuart Winslow within the salacious court of King Henry VIII. The determined Stuart Winslow will go to any lengths to lift himself and his widowed mother out of poverty. After a distant relative manages to secure a place for Stuart in the court of King Henry VIII, Stuart quickly learns that the court is really a wicked cauldron of vices, power plays, and temptation. As Stuart rises at court, he is asked to find and deliver for execution an enemy of the king—William Tyndale, an acquaintance of Stuart’s whose sole ambition is to translate the Bible into the language of the common man. Does Stuart fall prey to his dangerous ambition and accept the assignment? Or is he willing to face death at the stake for the sake of Christ? In Honor in the Dust, bestselling author Gilbert Morris captures the tone of the Tudor period beautifully, chronicling the period’s excesses with skill and prudence. But like Morris’s other novels, it also contrasts those excesses with the godly behavior of real-life characters like William Tyndale. In this captivating historical drama, Stuart Winslow is caught between two worlds: one that promises material and worldly success, and one that promises salvation. Is his faith strong enough to withstand such a challenge?
