Her routines daily, monthly, and seasonal are the framework for Cherry Hill's Horsekeeping Almanac, a goldmine of horsekeeping knowledge for all horse enthusiasts. Month by month, Hill touches on every issue likely to affect horses, horse farms, and the people who care for them both. Each month opens with a brief description of what's happening on the farm, followed by personal notes on specific, month-appropriate topics. May, for example, includes advice on grazing, snakes, composting, bathing and clipping, and fire strips. November features colic, fire ants, winter water, dry shampoo, and outdoor horse clothing. Every month includes recurring reminders, to-do lists, reference charts, climate notes, equine wit and wisdom, a word of the month, and an "Ask Cherry" section featuring seasonally relevant excerpts from her newsletter all the fascinating tidbits, lore, and handed-down insights that make almanacs so fascinating. Tying everything together is Cherry Hill's trusted voice and deep-seated knowledge of horses. This is a book readers will keep on hand to welcome each new season on the farm. Horsekeepers will browse it frequently, use it as a reference in times of doubt, keep reminders in it, and come back to it year after year a reminder of their own horsekeeping seasons. It will become, in Cherry Hill's words, a Horsekeeping Master Plan." 576 pages with an index. INSCRIBED AND SIGNED

Seven Trails West
Publisher: Abbeville Press New York, New York, U.S.A. 1996. Oblong 8vo. First Edition Hard Cover Fine (As New)/Fine DJ. ISBN: 1558597824 A flawless unread book with dust jacket. " The first book of its kind, Seven Trails West explores the major routes that linked the country to the Far West: the trail blazed by Lewis and Clark, the Santa FeTrail, the Oregon-California Trail, the Mormon Trail, the Pony Express, the Transcontinental Telegraph, and the Transcontinental Railroad. Seven Trails West tells many stories in one: the epic tale of determined men and women (some of them famous trailbreakers, some little known); the lures that attracted thesepragmatic dreamers to the West; and the ordeals and disappointments they overcame along the way. Abundantly illustrated with a far-ranging selection of archivalphotographs, paintings, and documents, this handsome volume also features clear maps of each of the trails and striking color photographs of the challenging terraintraversed by the emigrants. With its vivid prose and illuminating illustrations, Seven Trails West offers the general reader a thought-provoking overview of the western trail network that bound an immature nation together and provided an armature for later development. By turns a disturbing and inspiriting account, this exhilarating volume explores the virtues and vices,the triumphs and failures of the greatest voluntary mass migration in history. The critical yet still little-known role played by the trails in this migration is vital forunderstanding how America came to be." 252 pages with selected bibliography, index, and illustrated throughout.

Summary:Why is everyone rushing to flee Tampa on a cruise ship to hell? Serge is back with a bullet, torn between homicide and souvenirs. So is Coleman, torn between getting hammered and getting more hammered. Then there's good ol' Jim Davenport, the E-Team, the Diaz Brothers, and Johnny Vegas, the Accidental Virgin, cranking up the fevered action as the pot boils over on a street called Lobster Lane. It's reunion time in the Sunshine State, and we're not just talking the family jamboree of that blood-soaked criminal clan, the McGraws, whose nastiest, meanest member is finally released from prison and heads south bent on revenge. On top of it all, the government is covering up a growing list of mysterious victims across Florida who may or may not be connected to a nefarious plot being hatched against national security. But wait! There's more on the horizon! Who is the oddly familiar femme fatale named Rachael? Is Serge wrong that guns, drugs, and strippers don't mix? What sets the Non-Confrontationalists off on a rampage? What finally brings Coleman and Lenny together? Will they succeed in building the biggest bong ever? And can Serge surf a rogue wave to victory? So batten the hatches, don the life jackets, and take cover as all these questions and more are answered in the latest adventure from the acclaimed author of Hurricane Punch. 340 pages.

The Cowboy Girl : The Life of Caroline Lockhart
Publisher: University of Nebraska Press Lincoln, NE 2007. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall 2nd Printing Trade Paperback. No DJ as Issued Fine (As New). ISBN: 9780803259904 A brand-new unread book signed by the author on the front end paper. "In 1901, Philadelphia's celebrity female journalist stepped off a train in Blackfoot, Montana, and into a world of living legends. The miners and frontiersmen, Indians and trappers that Caroline Lockhart met there inspired this beautiful, single, strong-willed woman to live a life she had only dreamed about in what remained of the Wild West. This is the true story of a woman whose work and life teetered between realism and romanticism and who wrote novels “like a man” yet ran her businesses and love affairs like a liberated feminist. Prep-school educated (she attended the Moravian Seminary for girls) and well-traveled (her assignments took her throughout Europe), she chose to live out her passions in a time when to bare one's ankle could ruin a woman for life. As a newspaper publisher in Cody, Wyoming, she founded the town's still-thriving Stampede Rodeo, received critical praise from the demanding H. L. Mencken, and saw three of her seven novels turned into films. Yet she also infuriated neighbors and admirers with her cantankerous crusades (she referred to novelist Zane Grey, for instance, as “that tooth-pulling ass!”) and indomitable will. In this all-encompassing portrait the Cowboy Girl, Caroline Lockhart, emerges as a woman who remade the fantasy of the West in life and in words, and who keeps us spellbound to this day." 321 pages with a bibliography and index.
