1001 TEXAS PLACE NAMES By Fred Tarpley, Sally Blakemore
(Illustrator). Each of the 254 counties are represented.
Texans are unsurpassed for their diversity and origins and
fanciful names. For instance - Bug Tussle, in Fannin
County, was named for a favorite picnic site for Sunday
School classes, and rumor has it that everyone said that
after the picnic there was nothing to do but watch the bugs
tussle! And here's a good one - Etoile, in Nacogdoches
County, was named by a settler from France who thought he
had found his "star." He undoubtedly pronounced it "a-
twile" but everyone else says "e-toil." Panhandle,
Floydada, Sweet Home, White Dear, Sunny Side... Now, you
reckon Fred just made all of this up? A GREAT Texas book!

then some. Look at that old coin with more respect, will you?

ART OF BLACKSMITHING By Alex Bealer. A Blacksmithing
Classic! Now back in print. Left - slip cover of current
Castle reprint of the revised edition; click the image to
open image of the slip cover of original 1969 edition
(fascinating memorabilia!). This book marked the beginning
of the modern era in blacksmithing. Its publication came at
a time when the small blacksmith's shop had nearly ceased
to exist in North America. At the time there were no
references about blacksmithing in print and the many old
references that are now commonly available in reprint today
had long been out of print. It also came at the peak of the
crafts movement inspiring hundreds of "hippy" craftsfolk
to take up the hammer. Today those hippy craftsfolk are the
established "old guard" of blacksmithing. They will ALL
tell you that "The Art" was important in their
blacksmithing education... Bealer wrote THE landmark
reference of blacksmithing. There is even a chapter on
making weapons, which discusses mail, swords, and halberds
(as well as flintlocks). Lots of black & white sketches
make the explanations easier to understand. 438 pages, 500+
illustrations.

The Copper Queen Consolidated Mining Company was at the
top, then below that were, were merchants and professional
people who really owed their very existence to the copper
company. The copper company employees bought their
supplies, their daily goods, at the local stores, drank at
the saloons, spent their money in the various centers of
entertainment up Brewery Gulch. But at the top was this
great paternal organization, Copper Queen Consolidated
Mining Company ... "It drew immigrants. It drew American
professional people. It drew a wide spectrum of people. If
you couldn't make money in the West something was wrong
with you. You know many, many men came and found work as
miners, they didn't like mining so they went into business,
they started as a, they started little grocery stores, some
went into the saloon business, others went into, became
freighters and teamsters. It also drew professional people--
lawyers, doctors, who had services to offer the population

Tales has become one of the classics of southwest

Mogollons, and the rest of the Gila Country of southwest

poignant, amazing, or insightful. This is a singular look
at the times. And most of all, these tales are true... for

BLOODY BOZEMAN, THE PERILOUS TRAIL TO MONTANA'S GOLD By
Dorothy Johnson. From 1863 - 1868, the Bozeman Trail was an
exit off the Oregon Trail for those seeking the gold fields
of Montana rather than the lush farmland of Oregon. The
climate and terrain were harsh, and the territory was home
to various outlaws and hostile Sioux Indians. The U.S. Army
established three forts along the trail in 1866, but the
presence of soldiers did nothing to ensure anyone's safety,
and the pulled out in 1868. The history of the Bozeman
Trail is presented as a year-by-year sequence of fast-paced
anecdotes about the soldiers, settlers, warriors, men,
women, and children who participated in this chapter of
Western expansion. Matter-of-fact and entertaining. Place
names are identified on a single map. Sources, including
letters, journals, and memoirs, are listed in an extensive
bibliography. An index is also provided. This is a
wonderful book for those who enjoy reading about the life
and times of the common people of the Old West. 305 pages.

BONANZA SEEKERS HANDBOOK (Review by H. Glenn Carson - Pre-
Publication Offer) Most of us would like for hunting for -
and recovering - treasure to be easy. We at least think
that we would like it to be so. It is not easy. We do not,
the night before, read a fascinating story about a huge
chest of treasure not very far from the front door, get up
and have a leisurely breakfast the following morning, and
head right to the spot the story mentions. If it were that
easy, we would immediately recognize the clues mentioned in
the story, make two or three swipes with the detector loop,
and get an immense signal. Within a few minutes we'd have
the chest dug up, the coins secured in the vehicle only a
few yards away, and be home in time for supper. Bonanzas do
exist. Some contain a great amount of wealth. Your chance
of finding such a bonanza easily, is astronomically slim.
Buy a lottery ticket on a regular basis, for your chance of
winning the big lottery payoff is far greater than
recovering a bonanza with little or no effort. (More)

BUCKSKIN -- JOE A MEMOIR HUNTER-TRAPPER, SCOUT, SOLDIER,
SHOWMAN, FRONTIERSMAN, AND FRIEND OF THE INDIAN By Edward
Jonathan Hoyt, Edited by Glenn Shirley. In his lifetime
Edward Jonathan Hoyt, better known as Buckskin Joe, staged
more excitement than Buffalo Bill, Fairbanks and Flynn,
Karl Wallenda, and Batman put together. Born in Canada in
1840, he fought in the Civil War, homesteaded in southern
Kansas, chased outlaws as a U.S. marshal in the Cherokee
Outlet, prospected for gold from Nova Scotia to Central
America, and served as a troubleshooter for "Haw" Tabor,
the Silver King of Leadville. But essentially he was an
entertainer, specializing in fętes of music and feats of
strength and agility. The master of sixteen musical
instruments, he played in frontier bands. An acrobat and
aerialist, he toured in circuses, once walking a tightrope
two thousand feet above the Royal Gorge. His last hurrah,
before pursuing his fortune in the jungles of Honduras, was
a tour in Pawnee Bill's Wild West show. Glenn Shirley has
written many works on frontier and outlaw history. 194 pages.

Stewart. A splendid story! In 1840, California was ready to

the hostile Sierras. But the trails were still treacherous,
as evidenced by the doomed Donner Party in 1846. This is a
fascinating picture of the West - you will experience a
trip along the California Trail, from Independence, MO to
Sacramento ... via Fort Laramie, Wyoming's South Pass,
Nevada's Humboldt River, and Donner Pass. If you enjoy

COLORADO TREASURE TALES By W.C. Jameson. This has 191
pages, and 4 very good maps. Since the beginning of
recorded history, tales of lost mines and buried and sunken
treasures have held an incredible fascination and appeal
for many people. Reading about or searching for a lost mine
or treasure excites men and women, young and old. The great
state of Colorado is considered by many to be the Holy
Grail of lost mines and buried treasures for the United
States. It has been argued that more lost gold and silver
mines, caches of outlaw loot, and long-hidden hoards of
Spanish and French treasures exist in Colorado than any
other state. The incredible number of tantalizing
folktales, legends, and stories of lost and buried wealth
that have come out of that state certainly support that
claim. Jameson presents 27 intriguing, mysterious and
compelling stories of lost gold and silver mines, hidden
strongboxes, missing army payrolls, and Spanish loot. In
many ways the tales themselves are like the treasure they
describe. Culturally speaking, they represent a portion of
the wealth of the people of Colorado - lore and legends
handed down through the generations. They are an important
part of the cultural fabric of the state.

COMANCHES, THE By Ernest Wallace. These Indians were often
the terror of the Whites and other Plains tribes. They
raided, pillaged, and repelled all efforts to encroach on
their hunting grounds for over 150 years. There are still
around 6500 tribal members living near their former
reservation in Okla. and as far away as Los Angeles. 362
pages. Paper.

CORONADO'S CHILDREN TALES OF LOST MINES AND BURIED
TREASURES OF THE SOUTHWEST By Frank Dobie. Written in 1930,
Coronado's Children was one of J. Frank Dobie's first
books, and the one that helped gain him national prominence
as a folklorist. In it, he recounts the tales and legends
of those hardy souls who searched for buried treasure in
the Southwest following in the footsteps of that earlier
gold seeker, the Spaniard Coronado. "These people," Dobie
writes in his introduction, "no matter what language they
speak, are truly Coronado's inheritors... l have called
them Coronado's children. They follow Spanish trails,
buffalo trails, cow trails, they dig where there are no
trails; but oftener than they dig or prospect they just sit
and tell stories of lost mines, of buried bullion by the
jack load... " The author claims, "After I hear a tale I
do all I can to improve it," and this is an understatement.
Readers who possess a sense of wonder will enjoy this book.
History often cloaks personages with dusty trappings,
stuffy sayings, and mixed motives so time has faded the awe
that Drake, Cortez, Raleigh, and Coronado experienced.
Dobie illuminates the wonder of the children of Coronado as
they chase their dreams and draws us into their world of
enchantment. Texas has its share of legendary treasure, and
Dobie records the lore of the lost mines of the San Saba
and Llano rivers, rumors of an untapped vein of wonderfully
rich gold west of Paisano Pass in Devil's River country,
tales of forgotten posthole stashes where prosperous
frontier ranchers once "banked" their gold and silver
coins, and more. Unlike Coronado, the author seeks the
treasure that emanates from the heart and mind. This is a
fine book written seven decades ago and improves with each
reading. This is the tale-spinning Dobie at his best,
dealing with subjects as irresistible as ghost stories and
haunted houses. 351 pages. Paper.

COVERED WAGON DAYS A JOURNEY ACROSS THE PLAINS IN THE
1860'S AND PIONEER DAYS IN THE NORTHWEST By A J Dickson. 285
pages. Paper.

COVERED WAGON WOMEN, VOL 1 DIARIES AND LETTERS FROM THE
WESTERN TRAILS - 1840 - 1849 By Kenneth L. Holmes (Editor);
Anne M. Butler (Introduction). This is Volume One,
published in 1995, of the diaries and letters from the
Western Trails. A true look into the mind of the women
pioneers. Exceptional reading! It is fascinating to peer
into the daily life of these woman and imagine how they
could have survived such trials, where they found strength
to leave husbands and children who had died ... to have to
bury them out alone in the wilderness. This book gives a
glimpse into these brave women's lives, and the hardships
they endured. 280 pages. Paper.

COVERED WAGON WOMEN, VOL 10 DIARIES AND LETTERS FROM THE
WESTERN TRAILS - 1875 - 1883 By Kenneth L. Holmes (Editor);
Elliott West (Introduction); David Duniway (Editor). Forty
years after the legendary overland travels of Oregon
pioneers in the 1840s, Lucy Clark Allen wrote, "the
excitement continues." Economic hard times in Minnesota
sent Allen and her husband to Montana in hopes of evading
the droughts, grasshoppers, and failed crops that had
plagued their farm. Allen and her compatriots, in this
volume of Covered Wagon Women, experience a much different
journey than their predecessors. Many settlements now await
those bound for the West, with amenities such as hotels and
restaurants, as well as grain suppliers to provide feed for
the horses and mules that had replaced the slower oxen in
pulling wagons. Routes were clearly marked - some had been
replaced entirely by railroad tracks. Nevertheless, many of
the same dangers, fears, and aspirations confronted these
dauntless women who traveled the overland trails. 277
pages. Paper.

COVERED WAGON WOMEN, VOL 2 DIARIES AND LETTERS FROM THE
WESTERN TRAILS - 1850, THE DIARY OF MARGARET A. FRINK By
Kenneth L. Holmes (Editor); Lillian Schlissel
(Introduction). The second in the series is as riveting as
the first. The immigrants now have more knowledge, since
many have gone before them. There are still many mishaps,
disease, lack of water and feed. There are opportunists who
prey on the civilized "innocence" of the travelers. Mrs.
Frink keeps a detailed diary of the daily distances
traveled, price of provisions, the weather, the many people
they meet up with, and an acute observation of the fashions
on the trail! The reader will gain a whole new appreciation
of the Old West! Kenneth L. Holmes is emeritus professor of
history at Western Oregon State College. Lillian Schlissel
is the author of Women's Diaries of the Westward Journey.
She is a professor of English and director of the American
Studies program at Brooklyn College. 302 pages. Paper.

COVERED WAGON WOMEN, VOL 3 DIARIES AND LETTERS FROM THE
WESTERN TRAILS - 1851 By Kenneth L. Holmes (Editor); Susan
Armitage (Introduction). Holmes made the very wise
editorial decision not to update, revise, or
parenthetically correct the quirky and often fascinating
prose of these nineteenth-century women ... The writing is
rich with the sounds of common speech and jargon. The
personal diaries of women crossing America in covered
wagons told of the ingenuity, courage, bravery, loneliness,
fear, boredom, excitement, and danger they encountered.
These books are intensely personal, but with an unsurpassed
background of authority. 291 pages. Paper.

COVERED WAGON WOMEN, VOL 4 DIARIES AND LETTERS FROM THE
WESTERN TRAILS - 1852, THE CALIFORNIA TRAIL. Kenneth L.
Holmes (Editor); Glenda Riley (Introduction). The entries
from these pioneer women are alternately rich with
optimism, stark with tragedy, and always laced with mind-
numbing details of the westward movement. In 1852 a record
number of women helped keep the wagons rolling over the
perilous western trails. The fourth volume of Covered Wagon
Women is devoted to families headed for California that
year. Holmes was a professor of history at Western Oregon
State College. He edited and compiled these volumes drawing
on archives and private sources. Glenda Riley is a
professor of history at Ball State University. Her numerous
works on women in the American West include Building and
Breaking Families in the American West. 303 pages. Paper.

COVERED WAGON WOMEN, VOL 5 DIARIES AND LETTERS FROM THE
WESTERN TRAILS -1852, THE CALIFORNIA TRAIL By Kenneth L.
Holmes; With David C. Duniway. Abigail Jane Scott was
seventeen when she left Illinois with her family in the
spring of 1852. Her record of the journey west is full of
expressive detail: breakfasting in a snowstorm, walking
behind the wagons to keep warm, tasting buffalo meat,
trying to climb Independence Rock. She meets her future
husband, Benjamin Duniway, at the end of the Oregon Trail
and, in the years to come, finds fame as a writer and a
leader of the suffrage movement in the Northwest. Her
grandson, David Duniway, edited her trail diary for Covered
Wagon Women. This volume includes the equally vivid diaries
of other women who rode the wagons in 1852. 314 pages. Paper.

COVERED WAGON WOMEN, VOL 6 DIARIES AND LETTERS FROM THE
WESTERN TRAILS - 1853 - 1854 Kenneth L. Holmes (Editor);
Ursula Smith (Introduction). An outstanding collection of
primary sources written by women moving west. The diaries
and letters throb with excitement, pain, and mind-boggling
determination. "We traveled this forenoon over the
roughest and most desolate piece of ground that was ever
made," wrote Amelia Knight during her 1853 wagon train
journey to Oregon. The reader is enveloped in the feelings
of sensitive people bound together in a stressful
undertaking. 292 pages. Paper.

COVERED WAGON WOMEN, VOL 7 DIARIES AND LETTERS FROM THE
WESTERN TRAILS - 1854 - 1860 By Kenneth L. Holmes
(Compiler); David Duniway (Editor); E. S. Haldane
(Translator). These women form a part of the diversity of
the West without which our vision is necessarily
incomplete. Some of the women traveling west in the late
1850s were strong advocates of equal rights for their sex.
On the trail, Julia Archibald Holmes and Hannah Keziah
Clapp sensibly wore the "freedom costume" called
bloomers. In 1858 Holmes joined the Pikes Peak gold rush
and was the first woman of record to climb the famous
mountain. Educator Hannah Clapp traveled to California with
a revolver by her side, speaking her mind in a letter
included in this volume, which is also enriched by the
trail diaries of seven other women. 300 pages. Paper. 

COVERED WAGON WOMEN, VOL 8 DIARIES AND LETTERS FROM THE
WESTERN TRAILS - 1862 - 1865 By Kenneth L. Holmes (Editor);
David Duniway (Editor); Maria Montoya (Introduction). This
is a work to capture the heart, as well as the historical
mind. The overland trails in the 1860s witnessed the
creation of stage stations, which eased the travels.
Tragically, this coincided with renewed conflicts with the
Cheyenne and other Plains Indians. Amid this turmoil, these
daring women continued to build on the example set by
earlier women pioneers. One woman, arriving in California,
wrote, "When we think of the earliest pioneers ... we feel
an untold gratitude towards them." 280 pages. Paper.

COVERED WAGON WOMEN, VOL 9 DIARIES AND LETTERS FROM THE
WESTERN TRAILS - 1864 - 1868 By Kenneth L. Holmes (Editor);
David Duniway (Editor); Frances H. Simson (Editor). In
their simplicity is their poignancy. One woman observed
that one of the men in the overland expedition had "buried
an infant here yesterday-still born." One can only imagine
her emotional turmoil-she had buried her own daughter three
months earlier, just as she and her husband set out for
Oregon. While each diarist and letter-writer had her
personal joys and sorrows ... one can only marvel at their
ability to persevere under conditions that sent many
scurrying back home to the East. 258 pages. Paper.

DEVELOPMENT OF A LEGEND. Robert M. Utley, Brian W. Dippie
(Introduction). Not just another book on the Custer

about Custer, and the press' role in promoting the stories

J. Brill, Mark L. Gardner. From the Publisher:" Using
Cheyenne and Arapaho accounts, Charles J. Brill tells the
story of General George Armstrong Custer's winter campaign
on the southern plains in 1868-69, including his attack on
Black Kettle's village on the snowy banks of the Washita
River. Brill's searing account details the ruthlessness of
the U.S. Army's efforts to punish southern plains tribes
for what they considered incessant raiding and depredation.
Brill provides the Indian point of view as he follows
Custer into a battle that remains controversial to the
present day." In a new foreword to this edition, Mark L.
Gardner discusses the significance of Brill's history -
placing it in context with other Custer and Indian Wars
studies - and its value to scholars and general readers
today. Gardner also provides an overview of the career of
Oklahoma journalist Charles J. Brill, much of whose life
has remained a mystery until now. 323 pages. University of
Oklahoma Press.

DANGEROUS DAN TUCKER,  NEW MEXICO'S DEADLY LAWMAN By Bob
Alexander, Leon C. Metz (Introduction). Tucker was a better
lawman, and more dangerous, than such redoubtable
characters as Wyatt Earp and Wild Bill Hickock... Deputy
Sheriff, Town Marshall, Deputy U.S. Marshall, Train Agent,
Livestock Inspector, Dan Tucker was the quintessential
lawman during the violent frontier period of southwest New
Mexico. By his own deadpan account, he was "obliged to
kill eight men" in Grant County alone -- not counting four
other outlaws he personally dropped from the scaffold.
Disinclined by nature to back down from anyone, Tucker was
involved in some one dozen shooting scrapes, was shot four
times, and he arrested Russian Bill and Sandy King. Yet
"Dangerous Dan Tucker" is more than a gunman's story.
Tucker's nervy confrontations with criminals, with the
quirky, everyday details of an underpaid lawman living on
the edge, are skillfully woven in. Extensively researched
and documented, Alexander presents a significant Western
character who, before now, was lost to history. His Dan
Tucker is no Hollywood hero, but he is extremely competent
and supremely dangerous -- if you're an outlaw. Paperback,
200 pages.

DANIEL BOONE -- MASTER OF THE WILDERNESS By John Bakeless.
A grand and readable tale of buckskin knight errantry. 495

Smith (Editor), Guy V. Henry (Preface). Excellent insight
of military life in the Old West. Childhood experiences on
various military posts during the American Indian Wars,
1878-1890, filled in the blanks of life on a remote Western
post when the men were not fighting Indians. This account

West. This is Mary Laurence's eyewitness account. 220 pages.

NATION By Malcolm J. Rohrbough. Hardbound, 353 pages.

it was. . . . At the heart of Rohrbough's wonderful book is

behind. ISBN: 0520216598

DELOS TOOLE'S GOLD NUGGET-TEERING IN NEVADA Delos says:
"Exposed veins as gossans outcroppings of silver and gold
are the main source of eroded minerals from most of the
area's mineralized fault zones across Nevada. In pre-
Tertiary time there was very little forceful water movement
to concentrate gold placer. What water movement did occur
scattered the gold placer across the topography, into pre-
glaciered gully formations, ancient stream beds and ganged
into basins... " Paperback - 141 pages. ISBN: 0-9654559-4-7

DELOS TOOLE'S GOLD NUGGET-TEERING IN NORTHERN
CALIFORNIA Delos says: "Gold Nugget-Teering In Northern

mines give the reader a jump start for exacting locations
of old mine ore debris aprons. These old ore dumps host
material extracted from the mineral veins that the old
timer didn't recognize as valuable rare-earth metals."

"Every page holds accurate hand drawn MAPS with directions
to the potential gold placer site to MAINE - VERMONT -
CONNECTICUT - NEW HAMPSHIRE - MASSACHUSETTS. Vivid
information, accurate geological description of topography
where gold placer has been caught in riffles, basins and
crevices of hundreds of brooks, creeks and water-runs. Gold
in VERMONT is purer than gold found elsewhere in the US of
A and offers hospitable environment for the gold searcher.
MAINE is the jewel of the New England Yankee States for
gold placer as the nearest neighbor to the great glacial
period droppings of its accumulative gold coming out of
Quebec, Canada. NEW HAMPSHIRE - CONNECTICUT - MASSACHUSETTS
have been influenced by the glacial over-ride with its
precretaceous massive gold placer placement. "Delos Toole's

northeastern Sonora) during the late 1800s. Born in the
1820s, scholars disagree on whether his birthplace was
actually in Arizona or New Mexico. Some people give
Geronimo the distinction of being the last Indian to
surrender to the United States. 480 pages.

GUIDE TO TREASURE IN ARKANSAS * LOUISIANA o
MISSISSIPPI <<< Note: THIS BOOK IS CURRENTLY OUT OF
PRINT. By Thomas Penfield. Wherever there are caves, there
are tales of buried treasure, and there are many caves in
Arkansas. Early settlers, having no other means of
safeguarding their wealth, placed it in the ground and
often never recovered it. Louisiana treasure stories date
from the days of French and Spanish explorers through the
era of gulf pirates to the years of Yankee depredations.
The burial of family possessions during the Civil War was
commonplace. Southerners knew that Yankee soldiers were
under orders to seize everything of value to the
Confederate cause. Hundreds of plantation families hid
their wealth. Treasure hunting in Mississippi has been
going on for more than 400 years. No one area has produced
more treasure stories than the Natchez Trace ... a wagon
road following old Indian trails. A stream of settlers
traveled 300 miles of wilderness, in search of the new
Eldorado. All who traversed it carried with them much or
all of their fortune. It became a dark and bloody trail.
ONLY in our upcoming E-Book and digital information
product, will you find the rest of these stories! This book
is CRAMMED with the grand intentions and murderous
inventions of one of the most vicious eras a
