Summary

A life-long Westerner explores the unique bond between man and horse in this lyrical, adventuresome memoir: “Reed’s stories are captivating” (Great Falls Tribune). 
 
Thomas Reed has been surrounded by horses since before he can remember. His unabashed admiration for these majestic creatures echoes on every page of this lyrical, adventuresome memoir. Many of the stories in Give Me Mountains for My Horses feature unforgettable horses in the scenic splendor of the American West, specifically the Greater Yellowstone backcountry.  
 
Reed introduces us to Lad, a large stallion whose sheer beauty outstrips all comparison and draws admiration from all who encounter him. Then there is Hank, a white stallion whose lean muscle and sturdy hid make him an incomparable ride. And we also meet Jade, a tried-and-true “mountain lady” of the highest degree who has an uncanny ability to correctly follow lost trails. These and many others populate Reed’s unforgettable tales of buying and selling horses, mishaps on the trail, and falling in love every day with beautiful animals.

    Success with Chickens - The What...

    Who would have thought that keeping chickens would ever become a lifestyle objective rather than, as was the case a few years ago, a hobby generally indulged in at the bottom of the garden by a few middle-aged men? While the fact that it has can only be a good thing, without a basic understanding of what chickens need in terms of daily care, the newcomer to the hobby is as likely to experience failure as he is success. Even the more experienced can always learn something new and this book caters for both. 
    This practical, often anecdotal guide incorporates much of the author's 40 years experience as a chicken keeper, as well as taking advantage of the knowledge and experience of other, like-minded enthusiasts. Also included, either because of their relevance, or simply their ability to raise a wry smile, are several snippets taken from poultry books written during the first half of the 20th century.

    A concise, “colorful, well-told” history of the City by the Bay, from the Gold Rush to the Summer of Love to the twenty-first century (Los Angeles Times).   This is the story of San Francisco, a unique and rowdy tale with a legendary cast of characters. It tells of the Indians and the Spanish missions, the arrival of thousands of gold seekers and gamblers, crackbrains and dreamers, the building of the transcontinental railroad and the cable car, labor strife and political shenanigans, the 1906 earthquake and fire, two World Wars, two World's Fairs, two great bridges, the beatniks and hippies and New Left—a story that is so marvelous and wild that it must be true.   A new afterword from the author in this updated third edition brings The City into the twenty-first century—a time just as hectic, experimental, and opportunistic as its rambunctious past.
