Epic cowboy Westerns come alive in Robert Gilbert's collection of ten short-story tales across the high plains, a sweltering desert, mountain ranges with towering peaks and bending canyon walls where sunlight disappears on a blistering day. Not far away is a place called Cheyenne River, a tough cowboy town, kept peaceful by U.S. Marshal Warren Brothers. He carries himself with confidence, is muscular, and his skin is bronzed by the wind and sun. His dark eyes frame a hard, weathered face, and a thick mustache curls above his lips. Along with Marshal Brothers, you will be introduced to Marshal Garriet Bask. Together they are up against villains, desperadoes and gunslingers who tempt their fate. Few of these misfits become victorious while others feel the hot lead from a Colt .44 penetrate their body. These ten tales are stories of a Western frontier, with mean-talking strangers who have shadowy quick eyes beneath a worn Stetson. Voices speak in a cowboy twang, laughter is rough and the smell of whiskey and smoke drift about in every saloon.

Message from Author: Hi Readers if you find that you like the description and it's noteworthy of your time I promise you will not be disappointed with this love story So go ahead and grab your book and read away I have targeted this for those who are like me and adore cute romance stories and films with interesting plots which have characters that come to life. If you are like me, I already know you will love this book. There is never anything better than two people that have a great chemistry who go through an adventure and the climax of the story peaks with a happy ending And this book is no different, or is it? I hope the book fills you with love and happiness. Oh and this is a standalone. Richard, a self-made man of the late 1800s west, has ordered a bride through a service. Deliberately choosing the ugliest of the photos the agency provided, he has no use for women in the romantic sense, having watched his own father fall apart after his wife left. He is surprised to be met at the station by a beautiful young Laura with sparkling blue eyes and black hair. Laura Wilks is instantly captivated by the dark haired, dark eyed man who picked her up from the station. Expecting at least a short courtship, she is disappointed when he immediately packs her to the nearest courthouse to be married. However, she remembers that he believes her to be from a wealthy family, not the daughter of a housekeeper that she actually is. While she is ashamed she never corrected his misconception, an immediate marriage would prevent him from sending her back to Philadelphia. She is devastated to hear that he has no interest in being romantically involved, though he had alluded to as much in his letters. He tells her that she will be for keeping his house and entertaining business partners as the need arises. Unable to imagine an entire lifetime without love, Laura decides she will set out to woo her own husband by being the very best wife possible. Will Laura be able to coax love from her reluctant husband by applying all her wifely abilities? Or will she forever be trapped in a loveless marriage? A story of hope, drama, suspense and unconditional love...

Some Ancient Christmas Carols, with the Tunes to Which They Were Formerly Sung in the West of England
A significant figure in the scientific community of his day, and a mentor to the chemist Sir Humphry Davy and his successor as president of the Royal Society, Davies Gilbert (1767–1839) also represented his native Cornwall in Parliament for almost thirty years. His love of his county and his concern to preserve its customs led him to publish in 1822 this collection of eight Christmas folk carols, the first of its kind, drawing on Cornwall's rich oral tradition. In his preface, Davies paints a heartwarming picture of the Christmas Eves of his childhood when, 'in the evening, cakes were drawn hot from the oven; cyder or beer exhilarated the spirits in every house; and the singing of Carols was continued late into the night'. From 'The Lord at first did Adam make' to 'Let all that are to mirth inclined', these simple ballads reflect the West of England's festive heritage.

Edmund William Gilbert (1900–73) was a renowned British social and historical geographer. In this book, which was first published in 1933, Gilbert discusses the exploration of the western area of what became the United States during the first half of the nineteenth century. As part of this process, the text makes 'an attempt to reconstruct the geographical setting in which the explorers accomplished their work, and thus to estimate the influence of geographical factors on the history of the exploration of the region.' Numerous illustrative figures and a detailed bibliography section are also included. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in historical geography and nineteenth-century American history.
