Buy this one and celebrate food and the best of the American family that carries on even when divorce splinters ...
Encyclopedia of Western Gunfighters

Possibly the best book in my extensive Western library
This book is fascinating because it separates truth from fiction. All documented gunfights of the old west are included here (as of the book's writing), & all gunfights that are undocumented are excluded. It's as simple as that. I don't buy the author's premise that if it was a real gunfight, it must have been documented at the time (wouldn't most killers have wanted to keep their killings a ...
Cheyenne: 1867 to 1903: A Biography of the ?Magic City? of the Plains
Bill O'Neal
Eakin Press
, 2006
The story of the formative period of Cheyenne is, to a remarkable degree, the story of America?s last West. Founded as a railroad boomtown, Cheyenne was a raucous and violent Hell on Wheels. Rising as if by magic from an empty prairie, Cheyenne was known the "Magic City" of the Plains. The cast of this great Western saga was colorful and imposing. Cattle barons and merchant kings. Cowboys and soldiers. Vigilantes and lawmen. Gamblers and ...
From Guns to Gavels: How Justice Grew Up in the Outlaw West
Bill Neal
Texas Tech University Press
, 2008
When a thirteen-year-old boy strikes out on his own in 1885, leaving his Civil War-ravaged Mississippi homeland for the wild Red River borderland between North Texas and Indian Territory, the American West is a land beyond the reach of the law. Crime thrives in the absence of law officers, courtrooms, judges, and jails. Vigilante justice, the posse, and the hangman's noose fill the void. But by the time the young man--now a veteran outlaw--dies ...

The Sine Qua Non of Southern Cooking
No sense going into a long, elaborate and flowery review of this well-educated, native southern boy's book. If you're really interested in doing authentic, down-home southern cooking -- not the Yankeefied stuff some try to foist off as southern food -- then just buy this book. Trust me, I know real southern cooking when I taste it: My mother learned to cook from my grandmother, who was born and ...

Great for any Gardener!
I teach gardening classes with titles such as "Seed Catalogs are Seductive" and "Saving Seeds" and have recommended this book to my students. It is fun, and informative. Let's face it, you can't get far with gardening for fun, hobby or business if you don't learn some latin. Gardener's Latin makes it easy and explains all those things you've been wondering about. This is a fresh and ...

A Real Keeper
I have a several thousand cookbook collection - spanning some 40+ years. I have read each one and KNOW them. This book grabs your attention and holds it. I have a Top 100 Cookbooks (my very, very favorite ones) bookcase. A book has to pass rigid cooking/baking tests to get there. This book is there!! Note: I have had FUN doing this all these years. The recipe for "A Good White Bread" is ...
Good Old Grits Cookbook
Bill Neal,
David Perry
Workman Publishing Company
, 1991
Think risotto or polenta, but funkier. Think texture, and the wholesome goodness and flavor of stone-ground corn. And think Cheese Grits Souffle, Blueberry Grits Muffins, Grits Pizza, and the quintessential dish that's been published in The New York Times: Shrimp and Grits. Bill Neal and David Perry love grits, and in this Passionate cookbook they export grits out of the Southern kitchen-and attempt to demystify the food that's fed a region ...

A great book about arizonas old west history
The Arizona Rangers were a special force created to assist jurisdictional lawmen at the time when outlaws and criminals outnumbered lawmen in the Arizona Territory. They served from 1901 to 1909. This book is excellent written and completed with several pictures. It is a must have for everyone, who is interested in the old west history of the grand canyon state Arizona. It is the Story of the ...

Getting Away with Murder on the Texas Frontier by Bill Neal
Bill Neal did a great job writing this novel. With his background in the legal system and "top-notch" research, his book was excellent in both reading and historical accuracy. When I found out that one of the novel's character's was my grandfather, I was intrigued even further! I hope that Bill Neal will write other books similar to this one. The WILD Frontier is truly an understatement! ...

Surprising, Exciting and Fun - A Real Triumph!
I just read Alan Heinberg's Young Avengers for, oh, I'd say the millionth time. I have to tell you it gets better and richer and with every reading. The great thing about YA is how brilliantly Heinberg confounds your expectations as to what this book is going to be. When you first hear about the characters he introduces, they don't sound too promising. Hulkling? Iron Lad? A young Vision? ...

I am a vampire fan and when I found out about this book I have to get it. With such authors as Tanya Huff, Fred Saberhagen, P.N. Elrod and K.B. Bogen, this book is full of great works of the craft. Filled with humor and horror, it has something for anybody. And if you like somebody's work you can always use the information in the back of the book to find their other works. A must for any ...

Gardener's Latin: Discovering the orgins, lore and meanings of botanical names
Explains the orgin and meaning of the latin words (regards plants), in most cases describes the look /structure of the plant. Remembering plant names, is not so bad now after reading this book.

Great Look Back at the "oldest Minor League"
With this book, O'Neal takes a look-back at the International League, which is baseball's oldest currently active minor league. First known as the "Eastern League," (and several other names over its first 30 years) this league at one time or other has had teams not only in the US, but also Canada (Toronto and Montreal), Cuba (Havana), and even briefly Puerto Rico (San Juan). He starts off at the ...

Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme
Miss Lawrence says, "Dill is a hardy annual. The seeds can be sown in fall or early spring. The seedlings must be thinned, and Mrs. Clarkson says she saves every scrap that is pulled up. She uses them in potato salad, and sprinkles them over broiled lamb." Miss Lawrence has distilled much of her gardening and some of her cooking knowledge into this lovely little book (about 250 pages). Ideas ...

Highly recommended for American history shelves
Bill O'Neal's The Johnson County War is a true, historical count of a violent and bloody conflict in Wyoming's northern rangeland. One side were cattle barons and powerful politicians; on the other, homesteaders and rustlers. The range war was rife with lynchings, ambushes, invasions by hired Texas gunmen, and ended in fierce last stand and siege drawing in hundreds of combatants. Black-and-white ...

Brilliant, Once It Hit Its Stride
In the seventies, superhero books were, if not dead, at least very sleepy. So Marvel tried everything but the kitchen sink. And not only were many of these works highly experimental, but they were often passed from creator to creator until something clicked (Master of Kung Fu and Iron Fist were two other features that took a while to find their feet). That Killraven survived is miraculous-- ...

About a National Treasure That Has Been Misplaced
This is a solid report on a singing group that played a major role in the western craze of the 1930s and 1940s. Those who remember the Charles Starrett westerns of the 1930s or the Roy Rogers movies of the 1940s, or who purchased DVDs of them, will recall the smooth harmony of the SOPs, as they are known to their fans. Over the years, performers have stepped in to fill the holes left by their ...
