On the Wild West Mark Twain

The latest in Hesperus's On series comes from master travel writer Mark Twain and concentrates on his journey through the Wild West

From 1861 to 1867, a young Mark Twain traveled through the Wild West. Following an abortive foray into a career as a Confederate Cavalry man he opted instead to head off on a stagecoach road trip with his brother Orion, who had just been appointed Secretary of Nevada Territory. Twain sets out on an epic voyage from Missouri to Sacramento. He will visit Salt Lake City, witness the beginning of the real estate boom, and try his hand at silver mining in Nevada. Traveling in turn by boat, train, and coach, through mountains and deserts, he comes across Native Americans, visits a Mormon village, and becomes stranded in a snowstorm. Discovering a land in the grasp of a boom and bust mentality, Twain is caught up in the lust for instant wealth which remains always tantalizingly close. Priceless anecdotes detail the amusing mishaps and bad judgement calls that ensure that the author's riches are kept at arm's length. Even at this early stage of his budding caree...

Mark Twain (1835-1910) was an American humorist, satirist, social critic, lecturer, and author of numerous classics, including The Adventures of Tom Sawyer.

Heading West Life with the Pioneers, 21 Activities

Pat McCarthy

Heading West traces the vivid saga of Native American and pioneer men, women, and children from the colonial beginnings of the westward expansion to the last of the homesteaders in late 20th century Alaska. In many respects, life in the backwoods and on the prairie was similar to modern life-children attended school and had daily chores, parents worked hard to provide for their families, and communities gathered for church and social events. But unlike today, pioneers lived against a backdrop of isolation, harsh weather, disease, and even plagues of locust. And for Native Americans, the westward expansion of settlers posed the most direct threat to their centuriesold cultures. But pioneer life was not all hardship. Settlers were able to build lives and communities, and experience a freedom brought on by new possibilities. Author Pat McCarthy has woven dozens of firsthand accounts from journals and autobiographies of the era to form a rich and detailed story. Readers will find more than 20 activities to help them better understand their pioneering ancestors. Children will churn but...

Red Summer The Danger and Madness of Commercial Salmon Fishing in Alaska

Bill Carter

Painting a visceral portrait of the life of commercial fishermen in the remote Eskimo village of Egekik, Alaska, this intense memoir depicts the author's four summers spent with a crew of seasonal salmon netters. Distinguishing itself from a typical adventure, this recollection relates the unforgiving supervision of the experienced female crew-chief, who along with her rugged shipmates lives by the credo: do the work or leave. From an encounter with an overly-inquisitive grizzly bear and being swamped by a mother-ship in open waters to the customary run-ins with colorful locals, this record is certain to appeal to adventurers, nature lovers, and armchair travelers alike. In the tradition of Jon Krakauer, Peter Matthiessen, and Sebastien Junger, this is an honest and vivid story of what it means to leave so-called civilization behind for a life full of danger, excitement, untold beauty, and physically grueling work.

Summary

Bill Carter is a former commercial fisherman and an award-winning documentary filmmaker and photographer. He has written for Men's Journal, Outside, Rolling Stone, and Spin and is the author of Fools Rush In. His documentary film, Miss Sarajevo, was awarded the International Monitor Award, the Golden Hugo Award, and the Maverick Director Award. He lives in Bisbee, Arizona.

California History for Kids Missions, Miners, and Moviemakers in the Golden State, Includes 21 Activities

Katy S. Duffield

The story of California is the story of dreamers-explorers, gold miners, immigrants, ranchers, moviemakers, farmers, and everyday Americans who headed west for a fresh start. The first native inhabitants arrived 9,000 years ago, ancestors of the tribes who would greet the Spanish in the 1700s. Father Junípero Serra later established a chain of missions along the coast, expanding European and Mexican influence. But when gold was discovered in 1848, the rush was on, and two short years later California became a state. After the gold ran out, other rushes followed, from agriculture to industry, Hollywood to Silicon Valley.

California History for Kids includes a time line of significant events, a list of historic sites to visit or explore online, and Web resources for further study. And to get a better idea of the scope of California history and the lives of its citizens, readers can:

* create a Chumash rock painting

* play the Miwok Hoop-and-Pole game

* bake and eat hardtack like a gold miner

* design a cattle brand

* decode a railroad cipher

* immortalize their handprints i...

West of Eden Communes and Utopia in Northern California

Iain Boal, Janferie Stone, Michael Watts, Cal Wins... The Bay Area’s commune revolution

In the aftermath of the Vietnam War, a large portion of the population had become disenchanted with the American way of life that they did not feel they belonged to. While some openly revolted in the streets, others took to turning away from the mainstream and headed toward a new world. Utopian visions, manifesting themselves in the form of communes, were aimed at breaking the bonds of capitalism, big business, and the reigning oligarchy and were popping up throughout the country. The San Francisco Bay Area was the hotbed of these communes, and from the Height-Ashbury in San Francisco, east to Berkeley's protest hub at Sproul Plaza, and south to Oakland's Black Panther's communal households, this is an exploration of this unique cultural revolution of the 1960s and 1970s. The history and vision of communal living is investigated in a series of essays aimed at explaining just what these communes were, how lives were lived within them, and what their goals entailed.

Blood in the Fields Ten Years Inside California's Nuestra Familia Gang

Julia Reynolds

SummaryThe city of Salinas, California, is the birthplace of John Steinbeck and the setting for his epic masterpiece East

of Eden, but it is also the home of Nuestra Familia, one of the most violent gangs in the United States. Born in the prisons of California in the late 1960s, Nuestra Familia expanded to control drug trafficking and extortion operations throughout the northern half of the state, and left a trail of bodies in its wake. Award-winning journalist Julia Reynolds tells the gang's story from the inside out, following young men and women as they search for a new kind of family, quests that usually lead to murder and betrayal. Blood in the Fields also documents the history of Operation Black Widow, the FBI's questionable decade-long effort to dismantle the Nuestra Familia, along with its compromised informants and the turf wars it created with local law enforcement agencies. Reynolds uses her unprecedented access to gang members, both in and out of prison, as well as undercover wire taps, depositions, and court documents to weave a gripping, comprehensive history of this brutal cr...

Room 1219 The Life of Fatty Arbuckle, the Mysterious Death of Virginia Rappe, and the Scandal That Changed

Hollywood

Greg Merritt

In 1921, one of the biggest movie stars in the world was accused of killing a woman. What followed was an

unprecedented avalanche of press coverage, the original "trial of the century," and a wave of censorship that

altered the course of Hollywood filmmaking.

It began on Labor Day, when comic actor Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle, then at the pinnacle of his fame and fortune,

hosted a party in San Francisco's best hotel. As the party raged, he was alone in room 1219 with Virginia Rappe,

a minor actress. Four days later, she died, and he was charged with her murder.

Room 1219tells the story of Arbuckle's improbable rise and stunning fall-from Hollywood's first true superstar to

its first pariah. Simultaneously, it presents the crime story from the day of the "orgy" through the three trials.

Relying on a careful examination of documents, the book finally reveals, after almost a century of wild

speculation, what most likely occurred in room 1219. In addition, Room 1219covers the creation of the film

industry-from the first silent experiments to a studio-based system capable of making and, u...

The Dark Heart of Hollywood Glamour, Guns and Gambling--Inside the Mafia's Global Empire

Douglas Thompson

This book reveals the sinister true story of the Mafia in Hollywood: it strips away the veneer of the movie

studios' American Dream. Crammed with legends, myths, murders, madness, mayhem, superstar tantrums, super-

sexed starlets, power brokers and politics, it is an ambitious account of Hollywood's hidden history, from the

rogue cops who took on the Mob on the streets of Los Angeles to the stars who became stars because Mafia

Godfathers said they would.

In The Dark Heart of Hollywood, veteran crime and entertainment writer Douglas Thompson reveals how all is

masterminded by the money-obsessed Mafia, for whom everything and everyone is simply a commodity. The

intense saga charges across America: from Hollywood bedrooms to the Oval Office, from California's twenty-first

century computer capital to the cocaine-connection HQs stretching from the Sunset Strip to Marseilles, Milan,

Moscow, Tokyo and Beijing.

It is an intriguing coincidence that superstar mobster Lucky Luciano was born in the same year, 1897, and place,

Sicily, as the magical film director Frank Capra, who promu...

Superman vs. Hollywood How Fiendish Producers, Devious Directors, and Warring Writers Grounded an American Icon

Jake Rossen, Mark Millar

Superman has fought for nearly seven decades to conquer radio, television, and film-but his battles behind the

scenes have proved a far greater threat than any fictional foe. For the first time, one book unearths all the

details of his turbulent adventures in Tinseltown.

Based on extensive interviews with producers, screenwriters, cast members, and crew, Superman vs. Hollywood

spills the beans on Marlon Brando's eccentricities; the challenges of making Superman appear to fly; the casting

process that at various points had Superman being played by Sylvester Stallone, Neil Diamond, Nicolas Cage,

Ashton Kutcher, and even Muhammad Ali; and the Superman movies, fashioned by such maverick filmmakers as

Kevin Smith and Tim Burton, that never made it to the screen.

Lost Los Angeles Dennis Evanovsky, Eric J. Kos

Astonishing images of vanished Los Angeles, from the landmark Ambassador Hotel to the original life-

sustaining Zanja Madre

Los Angeles is less than 150 years old, yet in that short time a great deal has been built and torn down. Like

most cities it has suffered the loss of classic old cinemas, Victorian hotels, and grand railroad stations, but L.A.

has also seen the passing of major industries, film companies, film lots, hills, airfields, piers, and a speedway.

Citrus groves have come and gone, oil derricks have sprung up in their place and been replaced by housing

tracts. The movie industry moved in from New York and Chicago, expanded, contracted, and then sold off their

lots. National radio stations built, then soon vacated, grand art decos studios around Sunset & Vine. Abbot

Kinney's vision of a Venetian suburb was largely filled in after the banks eroded. This book displays an

extraordinary variety of lost glories from this unique city: Barker Brothers, Beverly Hills Speedway, Bradbury

Residence, Casa Don Vincente Lugo, Chaplin Airfield, the community in Chavez Ravine, Church of t...

Nine Lives of a Black Panther A Story of Survival

Wayne Pharr

In the early morning hours of December 8, 1969, three hundred officers of the newly created elite paramilitary

tactical unit known as SWAT initiated a violent battle with a handful of Los Angeles-based members of the Black

Panther Party for Self-Defense (BPP). Five hours and five thousand rounds of ammunition later, three SWAT

team members and three Black Panthers lay wounded. From a tactical standpoint, the Los Angeles Police

Department (LAPD) considered the encounter a disaster. For the Panthers and the community that supported

them, the shootout symbolized a victory. A key contributor to that victory was the nineteen-year-old rank-and-

file member of the BPP Wayne Pharr.

Nine Lives of a Black Panther tells Wayne's riveting story of the Los Angeles branch of the BPP and gives a blow-

by-blow account of how it prepared for and survived the massive military-style attack. Because of his dedication

to the black liberation struggle, Wayne was hunted, beaten, and almost killed by the LAPD in four separate

events. Here he reveals how the branch survived attacks such as these, an...

Battle of the Bay Bashing A's, Thrilling Giants, and the Earthquake World Series

Gary Peterson, Tony La Russa

1989 was a season of both triumph and tragedy for the San Francisco Giants and Oakland Athletics, still marking

baseball's only cross-Bay series. But 1989 is remembered as much for the devastating earthquake that struck

moments before Game 3 of the World Series as it is for the exploits of Mark McGwire, Will Clark, and other stars.

In this history, Gary Peterson combines his firsthand observations with meticulous research and new interviews

with players, coaches, and broadcasters to offer a fresh perspective of that unforgettable year. From Dave

Dravecky's emotional return to the mound after cancer surgery and his gruesome injury in his next start to

highlight-reel performances by Clark, McGwire, Jose Canseco, and Rickey Henderson to Dave Stewart reaching

out to rescue workers after the earthquake, Battle of the Bay captures the agony and excitement that

surrounded the Bay Area in the summer and fall of 1989.

If These Walls Could Talk: Los Angeles Dodgers Stories from the Los Angeles Dodgers Dugout, Locker Room, and Press Box

Houston Mitchell

Since moving from Brooklyn to Los Angeles in 1958, the Dodgers have had an eventful-and frequently

successful-history. From playing in the 100,000-seat Coliseum to five World Series titles, from Fernandomania to

Mannywood, and from Sandy Koufax to Clayton Kershaw, the Boys in Blue have long been a team to watch. This

history of the Dodgers provides a closer look at the great moments and the lowlights that have made them one

of the seminal teams in the major leagues. Through multiple interviews conducted with current and former

players, readers will meet the athletes, coaches, and management and share in their moments of triumph and

defeat. The author recalls key moments in Dodgers history such as the building and breakup of the Garvey-

Lopes-Russell-Cey infield, the sad decline of Steve Howe, the amazing comeback at the tail-end of the 1980

season, and the Frank McCourt saga. If These Walls Could Talk: Los Angeles Dodgers brings the storied history

of the team come to life.

pitching by Hershiser that hasn't been equaled since to unlikely playoff heroes Mike Scioscia, Mickey Hatcher,

and Mike Davis, Miracle Men encapsulates the fever and fervor that surrounded the team and the city of Los

Madmen's Ball The Continuing Saga of Kobe, Phil, and the Los Angeles Lakers

Mark Heisler, Jerry West

In this revised and expanded edition, Los Angeles Times writer Mark Heisler investigates the 45-year history of

the Los Angeles Lakers and unveils a pattern of pampered and/or misguided players, megalomaniacal executives,

and owners whose obsessive drives for championships and attention combined to create an atmosphere of

conflict for decades Throughout the entire 2003-04 season, fans and the media called the L.A. Lakers the

biggest reality show in the country. But the laundry list of conflicts-the ongoing Kobe-Shaq bickering, Kobe's

sexual assault trial, Phil Jackson's final season, Gary Payton's refusal to admit his physical decline, and the loss

to Detroit in the championship-was just another year in the history of the Lakers. Madmen's Ball goes back to

the Lakers' unceremonious arrival in Los Angeles in 1960 to show that the franchise has been embroiled in

controversy, in-house battles and personality clashes for generations.

Summary

Mark Heisler covers the NBA for the Los Angeles Times. He has been on the professional basketball beat for 25

years, starting at the Philadelphia Inquirer and Bulletin, and was the winner of the Naismith Hall of Fame's Curt

Gowdy Award in 2006. He lives in Los Angeles. Jerry West played for 14 seasons for the Los Angeles Lakers,

leading them to nine NBA Finals and the 1972 championship. After retiring as the third-highest scorer in NBA

history, West coached the Lakers to a 145-101 record over three seasons. He became the team's general

manager in 1982, helping to build the dynasty of the 1980s, and currently serves as the president of basketball

operations for the Memphis Grizzlies.

Patty Hearst & The Twinkie Murders A Tale of Two Trials

Paul Krassner

Patty Hearst & The Twinkie Murders is darkly satiric take on two of the most famous cases of our era: the kidnapping of heiress Patty Hearst and the shocking assassination of San Francisco Mayor George Moscone and gay leader Harvey Milk. As a reporter for the Berkeley Barb, Paul Krassner was ringside at the spectacular California trials, and his hilarious deadpan style captures the nightmare reality behind the absurdities of the courtroom circus. Using his infamous satiric pen and investigative chops, Krassner gets to the truth behind the events: the role of the police and FBI, the real deal with Patty and the SLA, and what really happened in Patty’s infamous closet. Also included is a merciless exposé of the “Taliban” wing of the Gay Movement and their scandalous attacks on alt-rock star Michelle Shocked.

The Tenderloin John Butler

An electrifying debut coming of age story set in San Francisco during the dotcom boom

I had seen the Internet recently, in a café on Haight and Steiner that had a grey coin-operated computer terminal in the corner. One guy was using it to read what another guy was saying about some computer thing. And another Irish friend of a friend had it in their apartment when Milo and I called over one night, and he tried to show it to us, but it seemed he was using it to talk to a guy just like him about some computer game and I couldn't understand why he didn't just pick up the phone. But at least I knew about it.

It's 1995 and Evan has embarked on an adventure that will change his life-leaving his Dublin home for the rolling hills and fog-swept bays of San Francisco. Between the Internet revolution and the rave culture, young naive Evan is completely clueless about how to succeed; but he's determined to stumble on, looking for work, looking for love, and, ultimately, looking to define himself. Soon, however, the troubles of his past catch up with him, and everything begins to unravel.

John Butler is a filmmaker, a comedy writer, and an occasional columnist and interviewer for the Irish Times. His writing has appeared in the Dublin Review, the San Francisco Chronicle, and on NPR.

Each review is a full-page long and includes a food rating out of 10, a feel rating out of 10, and practical information about the restaurant. The handy reference section lists all restaurants by cuisine, neighborhood, and special features and offers a specific guide for vegetarians. More than just entertaining reads, these are essential references for anyone who eats out.

Critics rate and review restaurants in and around Portland in their trademark brutally honest style.

Seattle: Then and Now® Benjamin Lukoff

Vintage and contemporary photos chart the city's spectacular rise from a small lumber town to a

booming international business center

Seattle's growth from a small lumber town to one of the world's most influential urban centers has been

spectacular. Little more than a century ago, the city was made up of dirt roads and timber buildings. The arrival

of the Great Northern Railroad in 1893 and the start of the Klondike gold rush in 1897 changed all that. By 1914,

just 25 years after the city suffered a devastating fire that burned the central business district to cinders,

Seattle would have been almost unrecognizable to its early inhabitants. Streets had been raised, canals had

been dug, and hills had been leveled, with the spoils going to create land out of the Elliott Bay mudflats. And the

Smith Tower-the tallest building west of the Mississippi at the time-stood as a symbol of Seattle's new economic

confidence. Businesses in Seattle are still booming today, but they are now less dependent on location and more

on inspiration. This book presents archival photos along with modern views ...
