The book that inspired the epic movie, Dances With Wolves, and its
sequel, The Holy Road, together in one volume for the first time.
1863. The last occupant of Fort Sedgewick, Lieutenant John Dunbar
watches over the American frontier. A thousand miles back east, his
comrades are locked in battle with the Confederates, but out here
he is alone. His desolate posting will bring him into contact with
the lords of the southern plains - the Comanche. He has no
knowledge of their customs but Dunbar is intrigued by these people
and begins a transformation from which he emerges a different man.
A man called Dances With Wolves. The story continues, 11 years
later in The Holy Road. Times are hard for the Comanche. The white
man is closing in from all directions, claiming land, driving the
tribes on to reservations. Should the Comanche fight or make peace?
Misunderstanding and duplicity lead to raids and atrocities on both
sides that can have only one conclusion. The man that was John
Dunbar must go to war again.
In El Sombre, Shadow of the Saguaro, the author has attempted to
blend together actual historical figures, events, and facts, of the
early 1800's with fictional heroes and villains. In as much as
possible, these true life figures and forerunners of the West were
picked by the author, because they were contemporaries of the era.
The author has left it entirely up to the reader to sift the truth
from the fiction, in order to pique your interest in historical
study. The Author would classify this book as a fictional,
historical, western fantasy. The author would be gratified if one
day this book was chosen as required reading material at the high
school-college level, and has deliberately chosen descriptive words
and linguistics on a higher educational plane than the average pulp
paper Western. The author has also endeavored to combine adventure,
romance, and humor in order to attract a wider range of readers,
but at the same time, to create heroes that might be suitable role
models for the young men and women of this generation. If you are a
descendent of the heroes portrayed, it is hoped that you will take
family pride in reading the epic. fact that you as a responsible
American Citizen have restored the family name. Bear in mind, also,
that many of our forefathers were painted as villains when they
were heroes. - Because they were not politically correct, or took a
stand that was not popular with the world. Both hero and villain
will some day stand before the Highest Command and be judged by the
One Righteous Judge of all time, in the light of His Holy Word -
Then, and only then, will it become apparent who the real heroes
were.
Dead Man's Walk is the first, extraordinary book in the epic Lonesome Dove tetralogy, in which Larry McMurtry breathed new life into the vanished American West and created two of the most memorable heroes in contemporary fiction: Augustus McCrae and Woodrow Call. As young Texas Rangers, Gus and Call have much to learn about survival in a land fraught with perils: not only the blazing heat and raging tornadoes, roiling rivers and merciless Indians but also the deadly whims of soldiers. On their first expeditions--led by incompetent officers and accompanied by the robust, dauntless whore known as the Great Western--they will face death at the hands of the cunning Comanche war chief Buffalo Hump and the silent Apache Gomez. They will be astonished by the Mexican army. And Gus will meet the love of his life.
After a rough winter spent alone, Ursula Nordegren realizes she
must overcome her fears of the outside world and begins a trek down
Hope Mountain. Along the way she finds a badly wounded stranger and
realizes God may have used her decision to leave as a way of saving
the man. Wax Mosby was climbing Hope Mountain in part to atone for
his terrible choices. He was hired to drive out the Warden family
and now knows he was duped. But when he's wounded during the climb,
the last person he expects to rescue him is a beautiful blond woman
with the voice of an angel. As both Ursula and Wax weigh the costs
of living new lives, the two find an unlikely bond. And they're
joined by Ursula's sisters and the Warden family as the final
showdown over the family ranch looms with the coming of spring.

was voted by the Western American Writers in 1977 as the greatest
western novel of all time. The 100th Anniversary Edition, published
in cooperation with the Buffalo Bill Historical Center, features
specially commissioned art from contemporary western artist Thom
Ross in two editions, a trade and a limited. The limited edition,
signed and numbered by the artist, is encased in a clamshell box
and also includes an additional Ross lithograph.

Set on the banks of the Rio Grande River in the old New Mexico
Territory, Simon ran his infamous resort-brothel which brought him
his tainted fortune and perceived power over the people of Taos. It
was virtually impossible to stand up to this sadistic tyrant and
his ruthless band of thugs. Even the church, who exercised a strong
degree of power and influence in those developing years of western
expansion, could not influence his depraved course.
He was an ambitious man with the amoral attitude of the local
rattle snakes that were indigenous to the region.
Each of the numerous visitors passing through, who enjoyed the
relaxation and pleasure of his sinful stop of gratification, had a
story to tell, but "Canyon of Sorrow" concentrates on the dark and
tragic way that one man touched so many, and his devious actions
through might and control resulted in a horrific conclusion that is
talked about to this day.
In 1872, thirteen-year-old Will Curtis isn't prepared for the
changes that are about to occur in his young life. His mother died
six months ago while giving birth to his youngest sister, Anne.
Will is not pleased when his Pa, a cantankerous self-ordained
minister, introduces him to his new stepmother, eighteen-year-old
Mary. Will initially resents the pretty young woman, but he is
eventually overcome by her charm.
Soon after Mary's arrival, the family is guided by Will's
forty-year-old uncle, Zeke, as they leave their West Virginia home
to forge a new life on the Kansas frontier. Will is saddened when
he has to leave his best friend, Skeeter, and his dog, Crusher,
behind. The long journey by steamboat, train, and wagon is not an
easy one, but their struggles are only the beginning. While
besieged with natural disasters, family conflict, outlaws, and
death, the Curtis family also becomes involved in a deadly
vendetta.
This coming-of-age Western demonstrates Will's determination
and dedication to his family as he matures on the hardscrabble
Kansas homestead. In his five-year journey, Will reaps the rewards
of hard work, faces his foes, and discovers the wonder of love in
Into the Heartland.
