Series statement from publisher's website.

Cowboy and photographer Dayton Hyde presents images of and describes his experiences with mustangs and other wild horses around the country, also covering wild breeds around the world, and discusses preservation.

The rise and near destruction of Dayton in the early 20th century is chronicled in this visual postcard history. The postcards showcase some of the city's unique commercial buildings, hotels, churches, and residences, many now long gone due to urban renewal and highway construction in the 1960s and 1970s. Landmarks featured include the National Soldiers' Home, built for veterans of the Civil War in 1868, and there is an entire chapter dedicated to the events of the 1913 flood that forever changed the face of the city. Over 200 postcard images were selected from the Dayton Metro Library and a number of privately held collections.

Zepp Hunt wasn't the king of Dayton high school. He was the top of the food chain. And I was next in line to be dragged into the lion's den. At least that's what he thought...Good girls wanted to tame him. Bad girls wanted to be tainted by him. Everyone bowed down to him. And me?I hated Zeppelin Hunt with every fiber of my being.Which was why I stayed away from the arrogant bad boy with tattoos and a rap sheet.Until I couldn't.Until we traded favors, and I owed him three months of my life. I never thought I would end up in his bed, and when I did, I had to remind myself that he hated me as much as I hated him.Until I didn't.Zepp Hunt was no prince, and I absolutely refused to be his damsel in distress...
