DEADWOOD, DAKOTA TERRITORIES, 1876: Legendary gunman Wild Bill Hickcock and his friend Charlie Utter have come to the Black Hills town of Deadwood fresh from Cheyenne, fleeing an ungrateful populace. Bill, aging and sick but still able to best any man in a fair gunfight, just wants to be left alone to drink and play cards.

Train is a 18-year-old black caddy at an exclusive L.A. country club. He is a golf prodigy, but the year is 1953 and there is no such thing as a black golf prodigy.

Packard is also drawn to Norah Still, a beautiful woman scared in a hideous crime, a woman w

Warren Spooner was born after a prolonged delivery in a makeshift delivery room in a doctor’s office in Milledgeville, Georgia, on the first Saturday of December, 1956. His father died shortly afterward, long before Spooner had even a memory of his face, and was replaced eventually by a once-brilliant young naval officer, Calmer Ottosson, recently court-martialed out of service. This is the story of the lifelong tie between the two men, poles apart, of Spooner’s troubled childhood, troubled adolescence, violent and troubled adulthood and Calmer Ottosson’s inexhaustible patien

1906. Dr. Henry M. Dexter, of Pilgrim descent and born almost within sight of Plymouth Rock, desired to give to the world a more complete record than any which had been written of the religious and ecclesiastical movement in England that made the Pilgrims what they were and of their emigration to Holland and their life there before they came to America. Although he died before the book was complete, his son edited and rewrote the finished text. Contents: Book I. The England of Our Fathers; Book II. The Protestantism of Our Fathers; Book III. The Birthplace of the Pilgrim Church; Book IV. The P

"One of the most enchanting of all show-business memoirs." -Gary Giddins. Reissued to coincide with the paperback publication of the definitive Bing biography by Gary Giddins, here is "a collection of anecdotes and reminiscences that is as warm and witty as any Crosby performance. [Bing] could have surely become a full-time writer had his schedule not been taken up with being one of the great entertainers of the century." -Will Friedwald

Pete Sinclair uses his skill and training as a literary scholar coupled with his lifetime experiences to examine what it means to live in the West. His thoughtful challenges, sometime verging on indictments, forces his readers to consider where THEY fit in the western landscape and what their responsabilities are by choosing to be part of the vast spiritual/geographical miracle.---Mike Vause, author of "On Mountains and Mountaineers"
