Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. An absorbing picaresque journey through 1870s Kansas.in a prose that is at times sheer lyrical rapture, and other times tough and lean as sinew. Jarrett's ravishing prose style lifts these characters above their everydayness into a realm of transcendence borne within James's mind, as his innate nobility shines despite a daily life crammed with people bent on killing one another.-Johnny Payne, author of the 2021 IBPA Ben Franklin Gold Winner, Confessions of a Gentleman Killer: A NovelA haunting frontier adventure that blends both danger and heart, The Dark Prairie is both a gripping rescue story and a resonant coming-of-age journey. The prose is vividly cinematic, rendering the vast winter prairie and the unforgiving Santa Fe Trail with remarkable immediacy. It's the kind of emotionally grounded, visually expansive storytelling that feels tailor-made for adaptation-equally compelling on the page and ripe for the screen.-Rebecca Graham Ford, Executive Producer, TelevisionThe Dark Prairie delivers the perfect balance of artistry and entertainment, pairing vivid prose with the adventure of a great Western. Jarrett's nuanced characters and bold final revelation challenge our myths about cowboys and vigilantism, making this a Western that feels both timeless and startlingly new.-Eric Z. Weintraub, author of South of SepharadSet on the Kansas frontier in 1870, The Dark Prairie follows sixteen-year-old James Tuck into the wilderness after his younger sister vanishes from their homestead - a disappearance that is not what it seems.Riding west along the Santa Fe Trail with strangers who become family, James is driven by guilt, love, and a desperate need to prove himself to a father whose approval he has never earned. But the further he ventures from home, the more the world he understood begins to dissolve. Between moments of violence and stretches of haunted stillness, something far older and less nameable presses through - in the landscape, in the silence between people, in the strange luminous moments that arrive without warning and vanish before they can be held.A literary Western that moves between the breathless and the contemplative, The Dark Prairie is a novel about the stories we construct to survive, the ones we must abandon to see clearly, and the indestructible thing that remains when all of them fall away. After his sister disappears, sixteen-year-old James Tuck follows the Santa Fe Trail into the Kansas wilderness. Among strangers and silences, guilt and something older than memory begin to reshape the world he believes is real. This item is printed on demand.

Oblong 4to. With 136 linen-backed silver gelatin photographs, w/ smaller images mounted 3 to a leaf, all w/ linen hinges at gutter margin; including 107 sized 3 x 5.75 in., many w/ text w/in the negative, several w/ manuscript descriptions in ink on versos, 6 sized 4.75 x 6.75 in. w/ photographer's stamp for Simmons-Boardman Publishing Co. on verso, 23 sized 8 x 10 in., nearly all w/ detailed ink manuscript notes w/in lower parts of negatives, many w/ dates in the negative in lower fore-edge, and negative numbers, manuscript pencil notes of the Northland Studios on verso. All bound w/ sliding metal Acco-fastener at gutter margin, manuscript title on front cover of thick paper, preserved in the original file folder (toning, edgewear, tears & creases), still VG exemplar, w/ mimeograph instructions mounted inside front flap detailing that these were to be returned to the Chief Clerk of the Roadway Dept. This amazing photo archive chronicles the bridge removal and construction, coffer dam building, foundation work, and construction project on the Lower Maumee River Bridge for the Toledo Terminal Railroad by The Foundation Company of Pittsburgh & New York. The Toledo Terminal Railroad was completed in 1903 and at one time owned by most of the major railroads that passed through Toledo forming a loop around the city providing an essential link to all of the industrial factories around the city. The Lower Maumee River Bridge was originally erected in 1902-1903 as a single track truss bridge, but by the Roaring 20s needed a major upgrade to double-track. These images show in reverse order the construction of additional piers, building of coffer dams, massive cranes installed to remove the old trusses, and install new trusses, as well as build the swing span. Along with photos of the control systems, the entire intricate process of removing the original single span and installing the double-track trusses is depicted, as well as the new swing span in operation. The Foundation Co. was founded in 1900 by Remington, Jarrett, and Moran, and grew rapidly in the opening decades of the 20th century, often securing numerous large projects, including the building of several dams on the Ohio River to offset flooding, railroad bridges, and more. It should be noted that the MichiganRailroad project, Bridge Hunter, and several other references list this still existing and operational railroad bridge as having been constructed in 1902-1903 as double-track, but these images clearly show the massive three-year project replacing the original from 1927-1930.
