Synopsis

"Wild West" explores the tumultuous 19th-century American West, dissecting the reality behind popular myths. It argues that the era was shaped by weak governance, economic opportunism, and violent conflict, rather than simply unchecked freedom. The book examines how the absence of legal structures led to the rise of vigilantes and outlaws, profoundly impacting settlers and Native Americans.

 
One intriguing fact is the rapid westward expansion fueled by the promise of land and gold created displacement and resource battles. The book examines key figures like Wyatt Earp and Billy the Kid through primary sources. It traces the evolution of law enforcement and the social and economic factors that contributed to a culture of violence.

 
Beginning with the causes and manifestations of lawlessness, it progresses to analyze settlement expansion’s impact on the environment and indigenous populations. It offers a grounded perspective on the era, challenging romanticized notions and providing a balanced view of its complexities.

    “Mbona is a Zulu word meaning ‘I see’. 
    Mbona Private Nature Reserve is a glorious slice of paradise nestled in the KwaZulu-Natal midlands, South Africa, which I have the privilege to call home.  
    These stories, which were gathered over many years of living on Mbona, were originally intended to be a podcast, but then I decided to compile them into this audiobook. 
    Herein I share moments, experiences, events, and memories. I’m sure those who know Mbona will relate to much that is shared here, but whether you know Mbona or not, I do hope that you will be inspired to adventure and make your own treasured memories. 
    Happy listening, happy memory making.”

    For over forty years, ventriloquist Shari Lewis and her sassy hand puppet Lamb Chop were the most beloved team in children's television. Together with her other puppets Charlie Horse and Hush Puppy, Shari raised three generations of kids and struggled to stay relevant in an industry that was constantly changing. In this audiobook, cowritten and recorded by Shari's daughter Mallory Lewis (who now performs with Lamb Chop) and producer-biographer Nat Segaloff, you'll hear how Shari survived using sheer will and talent, how she reinvented herself to meet new  challenges, and the never-before-told story of the origin of Lamb Chop. 
     
     
     
    Shari's story is not only that of a versatile and talented entertainer. It's the personalized history of children's television and of a gifted woman's lifelong struggle to remain on top of a tough profession. 
     
      
     
    Mallory tells her mother's story with intimacy and honesty as Nat fills in the narrative. There's even a guest appearance by Lamb Chop.
