SMS Ranch, The (Images of America)
by Dawn Youngblood Eric Swenson Jr.Few images captivate the Western imagination more than the Texas cowboy at home on the range, herding, corralling, throwing and branding cattle, bronc busting, dining from chuck wagons, and sleeping under the stars. The SMS Ranch in the early 1900s was exactly such a place. Spanning hundreds of thousands of acres and holding land in 12 Northwest Texas counties, the SMS was formed by early Swedish immigrant to the Republic of Texas Swante Magnus Swenson. Swenson, a good friend of Sam Houston, had a penchant for wise financial decisions and, by the late 1800s, lived in New York with offices on Wall Street. Swenson sent his two sons to manage his vast Texas landholdings. In 1902, they hired legendary cattleman Frank Hastings to manage the SMS Ranch, headquartered in Stamford, Texas, north of Abilene and west of Fort Worth. Hastings�s wife, Laura, and daughter Ruth photographed life on the ranch, and many professional photographers visited the SMS as well, leaving a rich visual legacy.
SNOWMOBILE: Bombardier's Dream Machine
by Jules OlderIn 1922, when Joseph-Armand Bombardier was fifteen years old he built his first snow vehicle. He had always loved to tinker with motors and make things go, and he dreamed of building a vehicle that could go over snow. His first attempt, using a Model T Ford engine and a wooden propeller, worked well. To Joseph-Armand’s mind, anyhow. Not so much his father, who made him take the contraption apart. Over the years, Joseph-Armand dreamed of becoming a great mechanic and inventing machines. But when his young son died of a fever because it was impossible to get to the hospital over the snow-covered roads, Joseph-Armand applied his single-minded determination to building a vehicle that could go over snow. It took years, but he accomplished his goal. His invention changed the way people in snow country lived. Inaccessible roads could now be travelled, taking patients to hospitals, doctors and priests to the needy, children to school, and even mail to residents.
SOS - Song of the sea
by Stephen CosgroveSOS, song of the sea, is wrapped in the magical premise that whales, dolphins, and other mammals of the sea communicate with one another. Critically, the history of their world is contained in the singing of a masterful song called The Song of the Sea. This history would have been sequestered forever safe from man's prying eyes had not an entire pod of whales elected to beach themselves in protest of the man's on-going devastation of the sea. One whale, Harmony, was chosen to stand off in the deeper waters and record this horrific event into the musical history of their world, The Song of the Sea. Devastated by this loss, Harmony calls for a gathering of all the intelligent contributors to the song, a conclave, where Sandwalkers (mankind) will finally stand trial for all their crimes against nature. SOS is the singing of all the amazing and sometimes tragic events leading to the conclave. Narrated by Harmony, two dolphins, and a marine biologist who ultimately glimpses beyond the veil that has kept mankind from truly understanding the brotherhood of all creatures of the earth, SOS, song of the sea is an amazing ecological fantasy. Written by award-winning children's author Stephen Cosgrove, his first novel.
