MCGINTY, BILLY; FULBRIGHT, JIM & STEHNO, ALBERT (EDITOR, COMMENTARY, NOTES). Oklahoma Rough Rider: Billy Mcginty's Own Story. University of Oklahoma Press, Norman: 2008.

232 pages. Recounting a colorful career, from San Juan Hill to points West. When Americans answered the call-to-arms after the sinking of the USS Maine in 1898, a wiry little Oklahoman was in the front ranks. Veteran cowboy Billy McGinty put his horseman's skills to work as one of Teddy Roosevelt's Rough Riders and participated in the battle of Las Guasimas, the attack on San Juan Heights, and the siege of Santiago. Oklahoma Rough Rider recounts McGinty's exploits on the battlefield and later on the stage. It contains his firsthand account of how he began cowboying at fourteen and went on to become a world champion bronco buster. After the Spanish-American War, he performed in Buffalo Bill's Wild West show and won the Cowboy Hall of Fame's Great Westerner award. Yet his colorful career has remained largely untoldNuntil now. Editors Jim Fulbright and Albert Stehno provide historical context for McGinty's storyNespecially his common-soldier's view of the war with Spain as the Rough Riders voyaged from Port Tampa to Cuba and into the heart of battle. When he died at age ninety, McGinty had accomplished many things, but none made him as proud as having served with Roosevelt. McGinty's story, with more than two dozen photographs, takes readers on the charge up San Juan HillNand on to points WestNto attest to his wide-ranging adventures. Jim Fulbright, a native Oklahoman, researches and writes about the Old West. A former broadcast journalist, he is author of W. D. Bill Fossett, Pioneer and Peace Officer and Trails to Old Pond Creek. Albert Stehno is a rancher in Billings, Oklahoma, and an avid historian of the Cherokee Strip Cowpunchers' Association. He serves on the board of directors of the Noble County, Oklahoma, Cherokee Strip Historical Society. Softcover. Brand new book.

Billy Graham. Storm Warning: Deceptive Evil Looms on the Horizon. Word Publishing,
084990983X ISBN: 084990983X Hardcover with dustjacket, 318 pages. VG/VG. A Very Nice Copy! Word Publishing, Dallas, 1992. Christian. A Strong Dose of Reality, March 9, 2001 Reviewer: "presbyman" (Elderton, PA United States) - We live in a broken and sinful world. The Bible states that all will be cleansed by a great apocalypse. Before this occurs, things will get steadily worse. Billy Graham pulls no punches as he connects the situation of our fallen world to end-time prophecies in Scripture, especially Revelation. The Enlightenment myth of endless progress is effectively challenged by Rev. Graham's writing. If we modern humans are proud of ourselves for our "progress," Rev. Graham's book will serve as an unwelcome but vitally necessary wake-up call. We should stop patting ourselves on the back and rather repent in sackcloth and ashes for such atrocities as "the abortion holocaust," as Rev. Graham titles one of the chapters in this book. Absolutely Fascinating!, November 15, 1997 Reviewer: A reader In "Storm Warning," Billy Graham examines the events of today and compares and contrasts them to the Biblical Book of Revelations. If you are someone who is intrigued by the events described in the Book of Revelations, then you will absolutely LOVE this book. I strongly recommend it!.

Kowalski, William. Eddie's Bastard. New York: Harpercollins Publishers, 1999.
Light wear, remainder mark bottom page edges. Unclipped DJ in Mylar, signed by Kowalski on title page ; 9.75 x 1.5 x 6.75 Inches; 367 pages; "Eddie's Bastard" is one William Amos Mann IV, fondly known as Billy, the illegitimate blue-eyed son of "Ready Eddie" Mann--a legendary golden athlete and brave pilot killed in Vietnam--and an unknown mother. The last in a line of proud, fiercely individualistic Irish-American men, Billy is discovered in a basket on the doorstep of the once grand farmhouse that is his ancestral family home, now a dusty, haunted mansion. The sole inhabitant is Billy's grandfather, Thomas, a bitter and lonely recluse who will raise Billy on love, fried baloney sandwiches, and the fascinating lore of the Mann family itself. While his birth may have been inauspicious, Billy's life is destined for greatness. He is a Mann, Grandpa reminds him daily, the progeny of an indomitable family scarred by success and tragedy. Through the whisky-tinged tales of his grandfather, Billy learns how the clan's fortune was discovered by his great-great-grandfather and namesake, Willie, a hero of the Civil War, and how it was lost by Thomas himself, a veteran of World War II, in a scheme known as the Great Ostrich Fiasco of 1946. As he matures into adolescence, Billy will eventually capture these stories on paper, a tradition begun by his great-great-grandfather, who confessed his secrets in a journal he kept throughout his life. Through the tales of his ancestors and his own experiences, Billy learns of bravery and cowardice, of life and death, of the heart's capacity for love and for unremitting hatred, eventually grasping the meaning and true beauty of family and history and their power to shape destiny. ....... and the love of Billy's life, Annie Simpson, an ethereal girl with a dark mystery that will first bring them together and then threaten to drive them apart. ; Signed by Author. 0060193557.
