Point! (Stackpole Classics)
by Horace J. LytleIn &“Point!&” the author has produced something considerably more than merely another book on the hunting of upland feathered game, and the canines that so gloriously help to make rays afield all that they can be. It even classifies, we believe, as a great human document—a book that will be valued all the more for tis contrast to present world chaos. It is basic in the fundamentals of our American heritage. It should help us all in a calm confident facing of what we do face today.Horace Lytle has lived 70 years, and in his book he covers most of them. Starting with the first point he ever saw, and the first quail he ever killed, he fascinatingly carries you with him from Mississippi to Saskatchewan, from Ohio to Florida—for Bob White, Grouse, Wood Prairie Chickens, with Ducks and Geese thrown in for good measure.Perhaps America&’s foremost pointing dog authority, he served for 20 years as Gun Dog Editor of Field and Stream. In &“Point!&” he pulls no punches on himself, but tells frankly of his own problems—even failures—with dogs of his own, some of which are screamingly funny as he tells them.Yes, this book is as amusing as it is importantly factual. You&’ll love it—from the very first page to the last. We have no doubt as to that. You&’ll learn many angles of how to hunt—how to shoot—and how to enjoy it all the more. A distinctly American book; none published has ever been more so.

Story of the Little Big Horn (Stackpole Classics)
by W. A. Graham&“Custer had been usually effective as an Indian fighter for several years… He was adept in bringing off surprise attacks that crushed and paralyzed resistance. Both his reputation and his experience as an Indian campaigner were second to none; and the Seventh Cavalry…was held one of the best regiments in the service. It was but natural, then, that when the regiment marched proudly away from the mouth of the Rosebud on its mission, Terry could and did feel confident that if he could but catch the recalcitrant braves of Sitting Bull between Custer and Gibbon, he would certainly crush and capture them; and if, perchance, Custer found them elsewhere than was expected, the Seventh Cavalry, under such a leader, would be more than equal to any emergency.&” From the Story of the Little Big HornIn June 1876, General George A Custer was detailed to a column under General Alfred H. Terry. After being sent ahead of General George Crook at the Rosebud River, Custer and the Seventh Cavalry discovered a Souix encampment on June 25. Not realizing that he was far outnumbered, Custer divided his regiment into three sections, sending two, led by Major Marcus A. Reno and Captain Frederick W. Benteen, to attack upstream. Custer&’s section stayed to launch a frontal assault, and every man under Custer was killed.Soon after the massacre, Custer became a tragic hero in the eyes of the American public, and the event achieved an almost mythological reputation. It was not until fifty years later, however, that the first book-length history of the battle, The Story of the Little Big Horn, was published.
Lions and Scavengers: The True Story of America (and Her Critics)
by Ben ShapiroINSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER #1 New York Times bestselling author Ben Shapiro examines the current state of America and Western civilization, and poses a question: will we be Lions, or will we be Scavengers? In a world split between noble Lions and destructive Scavengers, only the brave can lead the way. Acclaimed writer and conservative thought leader Ben Shapiro knows that at the heart of today&’s conflicts—political, economic, and cultural—there&’s a dangerous lie: that all people are equal in ability, and that all inequality stems from oppression and exploitation.With his signature clarity and sharp insight, Shapiro refutes that lie, emphasizing that in a free country, inequality is rooted in differences of talent and work ethic—not oppression—and that the best solution to lack of success lies in duty and virtue. Lions, like America&’s founding fathers, strive for the highest good, building systems that promote freedom, prosperity, and equality of opportunity. Meanwhile, Scavengers degrade these ideals, spreading resentment and entitlement that threaten to dismantle the foundations of Western civilization.In Lions and Scavengers, Shapiro invites you to take up the mantle of the Lion and defend the principles that shape the freedom of a fair, powerful society. With the stakes higher than ever, this book is a gripping exploration of the ongoing war between those who cherish our nation and those who seek to undermine it. The triumph of the Lions is essential for America&’s continued success. It&’s a rallying cry for those who refuse to bow to the Scavengers&’ demands. It&’s time to fight back.
