Travel alongside historian Cliff Caldwell as he uncovers tales of
true Texas grit, all within a day's ride of Mountain Home. Rough
characters were plentiful in Kerr County after the Civil War. In
fact, no fewer than three thousand of these outlaws were reportedly
brought to justice in this same area before the end of the
nineteenth century. While Native Americans fought for their ground,
notorious gunmen like John Wesley Hardin and Frank Eastwood gained
ill-deserved riches or met their fates at the hands of legendary
rangers like N.O. Reynolds and Thalis T. Cook. Meet the dastardly
yet lesser-known individuals like "Gip" Hardin, a teacher whose
drunken night out turned into a gunfight outside Junction City's
Turman Hotel, and the Ake brothers, two of the only members of the
Eastwood Gang to be set free.

There are many books on aspects of plant invasions, but none that
focus on the key role of species interactions in mediating
invasions. This book reviews exciting new findings and explores how
new methods and tools are shedding new light on crucial processes
in plant invasions. In 23 chapters, with contributions from 51
authors, the book addresses: · the main theories and hypotheses in
plant invasion ecology that invoke species interactions; · plant
invasions that are facilitated by, or benefit from, by mutualistic
interactions and release from enemies; · antagonistic interactions
that prevent or hinder plant invasions; · impacts of plant
invasions on native species interactions and ecosystem functioning;
· the interaction-network approach to understanding plant
invasions; · the importance of considering species interactions in
managing plant invasions
