Hardback. Condizione: Good. Based on actual events, José's Buffalo Hunt is the true story of an eleven-year-old boy and his first participation in the annual buffalo hunt on the Llano Estacado in 1866. José Arrellanes lived with his parents and his older brother Pablo in the hamlet of San Miguel, on the Pecos River in northern New Mexico. Like their neighbors, the family farmed, raising corn, beans, chile, and onions. Each fall they traveled to the Texas Panhandle to bring down the buffalo, or cíbolas, and carry the meat back to their village so everyone would have plenty to eat during the long, cold winter. This beautifully illustrated book brings to life a world where people travel by ox cart and where wolves trot beside them across the empty plains. The ciboleros dress in buckskins and are on friendly terms with the Comanches. A classic tale of a boy's initiation to manhood, this story has been an oral tradition in the Arrellanes family for almost a century and a half. Ages 6-12 years; reading level grade 4. Kil, Ronald (illustratore).…

Paperback. Condizione: Good. Spanish is an important source for terms and expressions that have made their way into the English of the southwestern United States.

Paperback. Condizione: Good. In 1908 a local rancher and surveyor by the name of N Howard 'Jack' Thorp walked into the cramped offices of the Estancia News in Estancia, New Mexico, and inquired of the printer about publishing a small book of 'cowboy songs'. For at least nineteen years, Thorp had sought out cowboy ballads and poems from across the west -- from New Mexico and Texas to Wyoming and Utah, and had written a few ditties himself. The finished volume, printed for just six cents a copy, included twenty-three songs and was the first book published devoted exclusively to cowboy songs. Thorp is recognised for being the first person to take a serious interest in collecting and preserving the ballads penned by ranchers to calm cattle on the range. This new edition of an oft-reprinted classic features an essay by western historian and musician Mark Gardner, and line illustrations by noted western artists and rancher Ron Kil. Included with the book is a CD of a recording of a selection of songs and poems taken from both the original 1908 edition and 1921 expanded second edition. In their renditions, Gardner and Rex Rideout recreate the historic music preserved by Thorp with vintage instruments and authentic styles. Ronald, Kil; Kil, Ronald (illustratore).…

Trade Paperback. Condizione: Fine. First Printing of First Edition Stated. 261 Pages. Bright red covers with cover price 14.95 and front illustrated by traditional crossed gold miners pickaxe and shovel. Gold spine lettering. Author's first published novel. Deadly Gold is a novel with murders and mystery, but no dull moments. In this first novel Hal Simmons dips into his experience as a news reporter, lawyer and high country fly-fisherman. In a small town in the Rocky Mountains, he takes you on a nail-biting adventure involving death and gold. Fame, fortune and a relaxing encounter are what young journalist Marc Young is seeking when he leaves his urban newspaper job and heads for Crystalton, Colorado, hoping to land a job as reporter on the newspaper in a quiet little mining town. But nothing is quiet in Crystalton but the falling snow. Simmons leads his hero through enough death defying adventures to provide a script for a half-dozen Harrison Ford movies, ranging in locale from high atop icy mountain cliffs to the depth of abandoned mine shafts and including a stormy love affair. Deadly gold doesn't turn out to be relaxing for Simmons' hero and it won't for the reader. -- Tony Hillerman. Kil, Ronald (illustratore). Signed by Author(s).…
