CHUCK HARRIGAN WANTED PEACE—BUT HE'D HAVE TO START A WAR TO GET IT! "DAD NORMAN COULD HAVE KEPT THE PEACE. BUT HE'S DEAD NOW AND THERE'S GONNA BE WAR, CHUCK AND YOU'RE GONNA BE IN IT". Chuck Harrigan was a hothead, but he wasn't crazy. Much as he didn't want a range war, he recognized the truth of the words—there was going to be one. And he wasn't just going to be in it—he figured to be the first one dead.... Three-time Winner of the Spur Award Wayne D. Overholser Author of "Law Man" and "The Violent Land." With millions of his books sold, he is acclaimed coast-to-coast and around the world as one of the greatest Western writers.
A classification of bunchgrass vegetation is presented for the Malheur, Ochoco, Umatilla, and part of the Wallowa-Whitman National Forests. It includes grassland vegetation as well as shrubland and forest land where the herbaceous layer is dominated by bunchgrasses. It is based on potential vegetation, with the plant association as the basic unit. Diagnostic keys and descriptions are presented for each type. Descriptions include information about plant species occurrence, environment and soils, states and transitions, forage productivity, management considerations, and relationships to other classifications.
In this eloquent plea for compassion and respect for all species, journalist and gardener Nancy Lawson describes why and how to welcome wildlife to our backyards. Through engaging anecdotes and inspired advice, profiles of home gardeners throughout the country, and interviews with scientists and horticulturalists, Lawson applies the broader lessons of ecology to our own outdoor spaces. Detailed chapters address planting for wildlife by choosing native species; providing habitats that shelter baby animals, as well as birds, bees, and butterflies; creating safe zones in the garden; cohabiting with creatures often regarded as pests; letting nature be your garden designer; and encouraging natural processes and evolution in the garden. The Humane Gardener fills a unique niche in describing simple principles for both attracting wildlife and peacefully resolving conflicts with all the creatures that share our world.
"Bunch Grass: A Chronicle of Life on a Cattle Ranch" by Horace Annesley Vachell is a collection of stories set among ranches and homesteads in Southern California. Horace Annesley Vachell emigrated to California in 1883, where he operated a cattle ranch with his father-in-law. These 20 stories, published over a decade after his return in 1900, draw humorously and thoughtfully on that experience
In the early eighties, when my brother Ajax and I were raising cattle in the foothills of Southern California, our ranch-house was used as a stopping-place by the teamsters hauling freight across the Coast Range; and after the boom began, while the village of Paradise was evolving itself out of rough timber, we were obliged to furnish all comers with board and lodging. Hardly a day passed without some "prairie schooner" (the canvas-covered wagon of the squatter) creaking into our corral; and the quiet gulches and cañons where Ajax and I had shot quail and deer began to re-echo to the shouts of the children of the rough folk from the mid-West and Missouri. These "Pikers," so called, settled thickly upon the sage-brush hills to the south and east of us, and took up all the land they could claim from the Government. Before spring was over, we were asked to lend an old adobe building to the village fathers, to be used as a schoolhouse, until the schoolhouse proper was built. At that time a New England family of the name of Spafford was working for us. Mrs. Spafford, having two children of her own, tried to enlist our sympathies. "I'm kinder sick," she told us, "of cookin' an' teachin'; an' the hot weather's comin' on, too. You'd oughter let 'em hev that old adobe."
