The Pioneer Boys of the Yellowstone - Lost in the Land of Wonders

St. George Rathborne

Maison d'édition: Good Press

Synopsis

In "The Pioneer Boys of the Yellowstone," St. George Rathborne captivates readers with a spirited adventure that recounts the challenges and triumphs of young pioneers in the untamed wilderness of Yellowstone. Through a vivid narrative interwoven with rich descriptions and an engaging prose style, Rathborne delves into themes of bravery, friendship, and the indomitable spirit of youth against the backdrop of America's westward expansion in the late 19th century. Set against a historical context that celebrates the rugged circumstances surrounding the exploration of America's nature-rich landscapes, the book stands as both a thrilling tale and a testament to the tenacity of the human spirit. St. George Rathborne, a prolific writer of adventure narratives and an enthusiastic advocate for youth literature, drew upon his own experiences and deep-seated love for nature to craft this engaging tale. His writings often reflect a profound appreciation for the American frontier and its impact on young minds. Rathborne's commitment to portraying positive youth experiences likely inspired his desire to create characters who embody resilience and courage amid adversity. I highly recommend "The Pioneer Boys of the Yellowstone" to readers of all ages who seek a blend of adventure and moral lessons. Through Rathborne's adept storytelling, readers will not only find excitement but also an inspiring reflection on the values of perseverance and camaraderie that resonate through the ages.

30 Years 80 Coaches Fighters...

Bart Martin

This book is about fighting, learning and studying people.
It’s sports psychology applied. It's about personal growth through sports, based on my training in different striking and grappling disciplines for 30 years.
Some say you can learn more life lessons from martial arts than from documentaries and journalists’ reports.Why fight and what can I get from it? How much effort is it worth?Can I become better and fulfilled through fighting?How to learn combat efficiently? Which martial arts are currently martial and which have become just an art?How can my insecurities be related to my need to fight? How being an adrenaline junkie and my ego can harm me and others?Why are there so many weird guys in the gyms? Where are the true sensei?What can meditation techniques have to do with all this?
It’s for people looking in martial arts for something more than the primitive pounding, who feel that they should be about something other than “ripping the opponent's head off”.
This book should serve as a shortcut for not wasting your time and health on some people. Instead, I hope you will take care of sensible self-improvement, both physically and mentally – for yourself and for others. It's about mindfulness plus willpower.
I don’t like to fight. But I dislike aggressors and abusers even more. I’ve been doing it all these years cause I wanted to learn all dimensions of combat and self-defense. I haven’t become enlightened thanks to this, and I still can’t levitate. And I don’t think just fighting people makes you much wiser. It is about mindfulness plus willpower. It is up to us to educate ourselves.
