In Coffee Creations, Gwin Grogan Grimes offfers over 50 satisfying recipes, including coffeehouse drinks to make at home, as well as breakfast dishes, entrees, and, of course, plenty of desserts.

Within a mere for decades, the rush of settlers transformed the West from a sparsely populated land to a booming region.  In the process, they created one of the most exciting periods ever in North American History.

The West was a wild, wild place with a few laws to protect people. Settlers fought over rights to the land, prospectors jumped claims, and Native peoples were displaced.  Thieves stole cattle and cash, professional gamblers swindled money, and scores were often settled with a bullet.  In the wild West, it was often hard to tell the good guys from the bad.

Young readers will thrill to stories of daring exploits and the colorful characters who braved a manacing frontier.  From wagon trains to train robbers, stampedes, gunfights, and hangings, the events that have fascinated people for generations are brought vividly to ife by writer Wayne Swanson.

"It would have given Charlie Russell a chuckle to think of someone selecting his 100 best letters," author Brian Dippie writes in his warm and refreshing introduction to this landmark collection of Russell's illustrated correspondence.

 In this collection, Dippie used "defensible criteria" in selecting which letters to use.  He made sketches a prime consideration, but also made sure that the text was just as important.  He felt that these two criteria opened the window into "the heart of a decent, likable man who was plainspoken, unpretentious, wise, tolerant, amusing, and staunchly loyal to old times and old friends."

These letters depict art that ranges from cartoon sketches to miniature masterpieces in watercolor, and the tales they tell - with drawings and words that together rise to a rough poetry - will make you laugh out loud and leave you misty-eyed.

Texas is a land of legends.  At one point in Texas history, Fort Worth was a legend of its own as Hell's Half Acre, a wild accumulation of bordellos, cribs, dance houses, saloons and gambling parlors.  The most famous and infamous westerners visited the Acre, including; Timothy ("Long Jim") Courtright, Luke Short, Bat Masterson, Wyatt Earp, doc Holliday, Sam Bass, Mary Porter, Etta Place and Butch Cassidy with his gang.
