Life and Adventures of the Original and Genuine Cowboys
"Sullivan, known on the plains and cattle ranges as Broncho John...followed every cattle trail from the Gulf of Mexico to the mountains of Washington.." -Centralia Journal, March 26, 1886 "Buffalo Bill tried to recruit Sullivan...Sullivan accepted the offer." -The Great Cowboy Strike (2018) "Broncho John is proud of the fact that he is a cowboy and is very sensitive to the criticism that is passed upon the cowboys in the Eastern papers." -Star Tribune (Minneapolis), Oct. 30, 1889 "Rustlers Not Cowboys. Broncho John Repudiates the Kansas Bad Men---Not the Real Article." -Billings Weekly Gazette, May 2, 1889> What is the difference between the genuine cowboy and the blustering cow-puncher or cattle rustler bedecked in western garb? Famous cowboy John H. Sullivan (1859-1951), a.k.a. "Broncho John" answers this question and many others about authentic cowboy life in his 1905 book "Life and Adventures of the Original and Genuine Cowboys." In distinguishing the genuine cowboy from others, Sullivan writes: "They tog themselves in cowboy garb for the purpose of bluster, and finally turns out to be a cow puncher, with a pole, a prod in the end of it, a lantern on his arm, he punches the cattle as they are on their way east in cars. Those are the kind of fellows you tourists see while waiting for lunch at some station. If you want to see the genuine cowboy go two or three hundred miles back on the range, and especially during hostilities. Right in the east I have seen fellows who never saw a coyote, have a big rim hat on, drink whiskey, bum around, with big mouths that turn down from the nose, drink, blow, howl, swear, spit fire and call themselves cowboys." About the author: John H. Sullivan (1859-1951), known as "Broncho John" started off his career as a scout in the West, before becoming involved in Buffalo Bill Cody's Wild West show. He first donned the sombrero and spurs when he was twelve years old, and followed every, cattle trail from the Gulf of Mexico to the mountains of Washington Territory in the fifteen years that followed, before joining Buffalo Bill's show and eventually starting his own western show that toured the Midwest.
Salt in Their Veins
According to acclaimed writer Isak Dinesen, "the cure for anything is salt water," and most coastal Mainers would likely agree. The distinct sense of place one gets in Maine is instilled at early age and living along Maine's rugged coast requires a combination of industriousness, flexibility, and self-sufficiency, all coupled with a profound sense of community. Like barnacles on a tidal ledge, these close-knit communities cling to the edge of the sea. They have salt in their veins, and the Maine coast is their ecosystem. In this book about people, Charlie Wing talks with some of the hardy folk who call this place home. Here are stories of lobstermen, boatbuilders, artists, writers, and teachers who opened up to Charlie and share their feelings on world events, government, the weather, and people from away.

Everything Now
WINNER OF THE CALIFORNIA BOOK AWARDA LOS ANGELES TIMES BESTSELLER. NAMED A BEST CALIFORNIA BOOKS OF 2021 BY THE NEW YORK TIMESA provocative, exhilaratingly new understanding of the United States' most confounding metropolis--not just a great city, but a full-blown modern city-state America is obsessed with Los Angeles. And America has been thinking about Los Angeles all wrong, for decades, on repeat. Los Angeles is not just the place where the American dream hits the Pacific. (It has its own dreams.) Not just the vanishing point of America's western drive. (It has its own compass.) Functionally, aesthetically, mythologically, even technologically, an independent territory, defined less by distinct borders than by an aura of autonomy and a sense of unfurling destiny--this is the city-state of Los Angeles. Deeply reported and researched, provocatively argued, and eloquently written, Rosecrans Baldwin's Everything Now approaches the metropolis from unexpected angles, nimbly interleaving his own voice with a chorus of others, from canonical L.A. literature to everyday citizens. Here, Octavia E. Butler and Joan Didion are in conversation with activists and astronauts, vampires and veterans. Baldwin records the stories of countless Angelenos, discovering people both upended and reborn: by disasters natural and economic, following gospels of wealth or self-help or personal destiny. The result is a story of a kaleidoscopic, vibrant nation unto itself--vastly more than its many, many parts. Baldwin's concept of the city-state allows us, finally, to grasp a place--Los Angeles--whose idiosyncrasies both magnify those of America, and are so fully its own. Here, space and time don't quite work the same as they do elsewhere, and contradictions are as stark as southern California's natural environment. Perhaps no better place exists to watch the United States's past, and its possible futures, play themselves out. Welcome to Los Angeles, the Great American City-State.

Dairylandia
Years ago, Steve Hannah's chance detour through the Midwest cut short a planned cross-country trip. He found himself in Wisconsin, a distinctly different place from the east coast where he was born and raised. Charmingly beautiful and full of welcoming people, America's dairyland would soon become his home. Dairylandia recounts Steve Hannah's burgeoning love for his adopted state through the writings of his long-lived column, "State of Mind." He profiles the lives of the seemingly ordinary, yet quite (and quietly) extraordinary folks he met and befriended on his travels. From Norwegian farmers to rattlesnake hunters to a woman who kept her favorite dead bird in the freezer, Hannah was charmed and fascinated by practically everyone he met. These captivating vignettes are by turns humorous, tragic, and remarkable-and remind us of our shared humanity.

Stories From Maine
Stories From Maine is a collection of incredible and interesting stories, which include the lore and legends usually omitted from history all told in narrative form.
Among the Indians
Although the American Fur Company dominated the Upper Missouri fur trade during the middle decades of the nineteenth century, a number of small, independent firms (known as the "Opposition") flourished briefly at this time. From 1858 until 1862, a young Philadelphian, Henry A. Boller, was one of the Opposition traders, serving first as clerk in Clark, Primeau and Company and then as a partner in Larpenteur, Smith and Company. His account of these years, based on his journals, presents a remarkably realistic picture of the daily life of the Indian as he existed more than a century ago and is recognized as the "most authoritative narrative of fur-trading among the plains Indians of the Upper Missouri, for the period" (U.S.iana). When it appeared in 1868, Boller's book was subtitled "Eight Years in the Far West, 1858-1866, Embracing Sketches of Montana and Salt Lake," and included descriptions of a return visit to Fort Berthold, the newly discovered Montana gold fields, and the Mormon capital. These concluding chapters are omitted in the present volume.
Destination
At an elevation of 14115 feet, Pikes Peak is the southernmost of Colorado's famous "Fourteeners." The monolith of rare pink granite juts up out of the Front Range of the Rockies seven miles west of Colorado Springs. A natural "weather maker," its unmatched profile protects the city from prevailing winds, and the crags often seem to reach up to snag the rain or snow-soaked clouds and hold them at bay. Mesmerized by the way the sun played on and over the mountain-particularly at dawn and dusk-I quickly fell into a love affair with "America's Mountain." This book is my tribute to Colorado, to Pikes Peak, and to the skies above the Front Range.
