This book captures the hearts and souls of readers young and old. The bold, beautiful illustrations showcase the essence of Wyoming.

To understand Wyoming, one must first understand the vastness and majesty of its land. Endless prairies sit side by side with magnificent mountain peaks; family ranches are the backbone of small towns that retain an austere, authentic, western charm. You will hardly find a more primordial and rugged place than the Cowboy State, as its citizens proudly love to call it. Tiziano Brignoli through this collection of stories pushes the reader inside the great naturalistic beauty of Wyoming, with a descriptive writing whose purpose is to convey to the reader the emotions that this land has to offer. Secondly, it was the author's will to connect each story through a common subject in addition to the setting itself: the horses. And so, in each story these animals take on a role, more or less predominant, in the development of the story itself. A collection of stories that can be enclosed in the words: Wyoming, a land that gives you freedom.

An exciting story of a Texas Ranger, adventurer, and immigration officer who became a symbol of his age while gambling with death in the wild frontier regions of Texas, Arizona, and Old and New Mexico. Charles Goodnight knew the West of Jim Bridger, Kit Carson, Dick Wooton, St. Vrain, and Lucien Maxwell. He ranged a country as vast as Bridger ranged. He rode with the boldness of Fremont, guided by the craft of Carson. His vigorous zest for life enabled him to live intensely and amply, and in this book by J. Evetts Haley, himself no stranger to the West, provides a fully readable and important western biography, vividly told, thrilling, witty, and completely authentic.

Charles Goodnight was a pioneer of the early range cattle industry—an opinionated and profane but energetic and well-liked rancher. Goodnight’s story is now re-examined by William T. Hagan in this brief, authoritative account that considers the role of ranching in general—and Goodnight in particular—in the development of the Texas Panhandle. The first major reassessment of his life in seventy years, Charles Goodnight: Father of the Texas Panhandle traces its subject’s life from hardscrabble farmer to cattle baron, giving close attention to lesser-known aspects of his last thirty years. Goodnight came up in the days when much of Texas was free range and open to occupancy by any cattleman brave enough to stake a claim. Hagan shows how Goodnight learned the cattle business and became one of the most famous ranchers of the Southwest. Hagan also presents a clearer picture than ever before of Goodnight’s business arrangements and investments, including the financial setbacks of his later life. As entertaining as it is informative, Hagan’s account takes readers back to the Palo Duro Canyon and the Staked Plains to share insights into the cattleman’s life—riding the range, fighting grass fires, driving cattle to the nearest railhead—the very stuff of cowboy legend and lore. This fascinating biography enriches our understanding of a Texas icon.
