Hardback. Zustand: Fair. In February 1861, the twelve-year-old son of Arizona rancher John Ward was kidnapped by Apaches. What followed would ignite a Southwestern frontier war between the Chiricahuas and the US Army that would last twenty-five years. In the days following the initial melee, innocent passersby would be taken as hostages on both sides, and almost all of them would be brutally slaughtered. Thousands of lives would be lost, the economies of Arizona and New Mexico would be devastated, and in the end, the Chiricahua way of life would essentially cease to exist. In a gripping narrative that often reads like an old-fashioned Western novel, Terry Mort explores the collision of these two radically different cultures in a masterful account of one of the bloodiest conflicts in our frontier history. …

Paperback. Zustand: Fair. In February 1861, the twelve-year-old son of an Arizona rancher was kidnapped by Apaches; a band of Chiricahua Apaches led by the infamous warrior Cochise was blamed for the attack. Lt. George Bascom organized a patrol and met with the Apache leader, who, not suspecting anything was amiss, had brought along his wife, his brother, and two sons. Despite Cochise's assertions of innocence and his offer to help in the search, Bascom immediately took Cochise's family hostage. An incensed Cochise escaped the meeting tent amidst flying bullets--and vowed revenge. What followed that precipitous encounter would ignite a Southwestern frontier war between the Chiricahuas and the US Army that would last twenty-five years. Thousands of lives would be lost, the economies of Arizona and New Mexico would be devastated, and in the end, the Chiricahua way of life would essentially cease to exist.

Hardback. Zustand: Good. Evoking the spirit?and danger?of the early American West, this is the story of the Battle of Beecher Island, pitting an outnumbered United States Army patrol against six hundred Native warriors, where heroism on both sides of the conflict captures the vital themes at play on the American frontier.In September 1868, the undermanned United States Army was struggling to address attacks by Cheyenne and Sioux warriors against the Kansas settlements, the stagecoach routes, and the transcontinental railroad.  General Sheridan hired fifty frontiersmen and scouts to supplement his limited forces.  He placed them under the command of Major George Forsyth and Lieutenant Frederick Beecher.  Both men were army officers and Civil War veterans with outstanding records.  Their orders were to find the Cheyenne raiders and, if practicable, to attack them. Their patrol left Fort Wallace, the westernmost post in Kansas, and headed northwest into Colorado.  After a week or so of following various trails, they were at the limit of their supplies?for both men and horses.  They camped along the narrow Arikaree Fork of the Republican River.   In the early morning they were surprised and attacked by a force of Cheyenne and Sioux warriors.   The scouts hurried to a small, sandy island in the shallow river and dug in.  Eventually they were surrounded by as many as six hundred warriors, led for a time by the famous Cheyenne, Roman Nose.  The fighting lasted four days.  Half the scouts were killed or wounded.  The Cheyenne lost nine warriors, including Roman Nose. Forsyth asked for volunteers to go for help.  Two pairs of men set out at night for Fort Wallace?one hundred miles away.  They were on foot and managed to slip through the Cheyenne lines.  The rest of the scouts held out on the island for nine days.  All their horses had been killed. Their food was gone and the meat from the horses was spoiled by the intense heat of the plains.  The wounded were suffering from lack of medical supplies, and all were on the verge of starvation when they were rescued by elements of the Tenth Cavalry?the famous Buffalo Soldiers.   Although the battle of Beecher Island was a small incident in the history of western conflict, the story brings together all of the important elements of the Western frontier?most notably the political and economic factors that led to the clash with the Natives and the cultural imperatives that motivated the Cheyenne, the white settlers, and the regular soldiers, both white and black.  More fundamentally, it is a story of human heroism exhibited by warriors on both sides of the dramatic conflict.…

Hardback. Zustand: Good. Hollywood, 1934. Prohibition is finally over, but there is still plenty of crime for an ambitious young private eye to investigate. Though he has a slightly checkered past, Riley Fitzhugh is well connected in the film industry and is hired by a major producer--whose lovely girlfriend has disappeared. He also is hired to recover a stolen Monet, a crime that results in two murders initially, with more to come.Along the way Riley investigates the gambling ships anchored off L.A., gets involved with the girlfriend of the gangster running one of the ships, and disposes of the body of a would-be actor who assaults Riley's girlfriend. He also meets an elegant English art history professor from UCLA who helps Riley authenticate several paintings and determine which ones are forgeries. Riley lives at the Garden of Allah Hotel, the favorite watering place of screenwriters, and he meets and unknowingly assists many of them with their plots. Incidentally one of these gents, whose nom de plume is 'Hobey Baker, ' might actually be F. Scott Fitzgerald . . .Evoking the classic hardboiled style, The Monet Murders is a charmingly cosy murder mystery by a novelist whose lucid, beautifully written books are a pleasure to read.
