As broadcast news came of age in the turbulent decades of the 1950s and '60s, North Texas reporter Bert Shipp was on the front lines. While television changed the way Texas and the world witnessed history, Shipp's Dallas/Fort Worth coverage reported stories of both national and local importance. Whether in the media race to cover the Kennedy assassination, on a mission to Laos to help recover a secret list of prisoners of war while on a mission in Laos or highlighting the boy who had no shoes for Christmas, Shipp's accounts of chronicling the news are fascinating and often hilarious. Join this award-winning journalist as he recalls harrowing, humorous and true behind-the-scenes stories of those early days in Texas television news.

In the early 19th century, Coquille was quiet and inhabited by Upper Coquille Native Americans. This changed when Evan Cunningham, the first European settler, arrived in the 1860s. Soon thereafter, others arrived. In the 1880s, homes, businesses, and a sawmill appeared. Riverboat transportation became established. The first wagon road was completed to Marshfield. In the 1890s, a railroad was constructed from Marshfield to Coquille and on to Myrtle Point, setting the stage for a dramatic expansion of the timber industry, dairy farming, and coal mining. By the 1920s, electric power, telephones, automobiles, and paved roads were the norm. Technology supported growth in the timber industry and stimulated population growth. As a result, many new and larger buildings were erected, giving Coquille a vibrant downtown with a bit of an urban feel.

In the twenty-first century, the residents of Canterbury Hall gathered around a table to tell each other tales just as Chaucer's pilgrims did on their way to Canterbury in the fourteenth century. Like Chaucer's stories, these fifteen tales are contemporary to their times, and sometimes the account of the persons who tell these tales are as interesting as the stories themselves. Written in Chaucer-style verse, The Canterbury Hall Tales are a treat for people, young and old, who enjoy the humor and adventure of Chaucer's stories. The author has made no attempt to capture Chaucer's bawdiness.

Lonesome Homesteads: Lost Tales of the Santa Fe Trail

In American history, the Santa Fe Trail looms as large as the Kansas, Colorado and New Mexico landscapes it traverses. Along its path, thousands of hearty settlers traveled westward seeking a new life. In some places, the wagon ruts remain reminding us of the primitive mode of travel used by those who sought freedom and fortune in the vast expanses of an untamed land. All of these restless and resilient pioneers are dead and buried many of them along the way in marked and unmarked graves. What remains are the myriad abandoned homesteads that once provided shelter to those who dared to explore the world beyond the tame sidewalks of the east. I live a few miles north of the Santa Fe Trail. Every time I ride along its route in my truck or on a motorcycle, I am enchanted by the lonely homesteads standing gaunt vigil along the roadside. They are a reminder of what once was a major route west for thousands of people. Though they may be abandoned now, once upon a time they were warm and cozy havens for the settlers who braved harsh winters, torrid summers, violent rainstorms, hostile Natives, greedy rustlers and a host of other dangers. Each time I pass by one of these places, I wonder, "What is its story? Who lived there? What kind of people were they? What caused them to leave this sanctuary behind and move? Where are their ancestors now?" The notion of telling their stories occurred to me on one of my many motorcycle trips through Trinidad, Colorado. I was cruising along, saw the remains of a sandstone structure and had to stop and look at it more closely. I admired the way the builders fit each stone together without cement making a remarkably tight wall. At that moment, I pulled out my notebook and began making notes. I would tell the stories of the lonesome homesteads I passed on the Santa Fe Trail. Each story would be unique, another facet of the story we call western expansion. Dear Reader, you must bear with me when I say I am writing their stories, but I am not going to let you know which ones are true and which are pure imagination. I have studied enough history to know the difference. These are the stories I wanted to tell and not necessarily those which some might want to hear. I hope these tales stir your imagination and make you want to take any mode of travel you can and come visit the great Santa Fe Trail. You won't be disappointed. I never am. Go West young man and woman See what there is to see. Hear the sounds of raucous winds and desert silence. Touch the hot sands and frozen snowcaps. This is my challenge to you, but for now, read on.

In 1995, I rode my bicycle across America from Oregon to New Jersey. It took me 31 days and I traveled more than 3,250 miles. When I returned home, many friends and neighbors asked me if I were going to write about my adventure. For a few years, I resisted doing so until I felt the experience was far enough removed from the present to be honestly and accurately reflected upon. In 1998, I wrote about the trip in the Forest Press. In 2002, I thru-hiked the Appalachian Trail from Maine to Georgia. It took me four months and I traveled more than 2,200 miles on foot. Again, when I returned home, many friends and neighbors asked me if I were going to write about this adventure too. It's been 15 years now since I completed that epic journey and the time to document it has come. Now, I'm ready to recount a journey that entailed much more of a tour of America than the bicycle trip did. I hope you enjoy reading about this journey as much as I did experiencing it first, on foot, and now, once again, in text.
