Mines, Cattle, and Rebellion
An Intimate Portrait of the Mexican Revolution
Once encompassing more than 1.5 million acres, Hacienda de Corralitos Ranch in Chihuahua, Mexico, stood at the center of one of the largest cattle ranching and mining enterprises in northern Mexico. Its remarkable history spans the Apache wars, the growth of El Paso as a transportation and smelting center, the rise of foreign investment, the Mexican Revolution, Pancho Villa, and General John J. Pershing's Punitive Expedition. Drawing upon thousands of original letters, journals, business records, and firsthand accounts, Mines, Cattle, and Rebellion brings the extraordinary history of Corralitos to life through the words of the ranch owners, managers, employees, investors, and visitors who experienced it.
The Borderland Princess
Consort to Criminals, Revolutionaries, Mercenaries, and Patriots
Far more than the history of a famous hotel, The Borderland Princess chronicles the remarkable rise of El Paso, Texas, from a frontier outpost into one of the American Southwest's most influential cities. Through the story of the historic Sheldon Hotel, the book traces the people, events, and relationships that shaped the U.S.–Mexico Borderlands, bringing to life presidents, revolutionaries, financiers, journalists, lawmen, and military leaders whose lives intersected at one of the Southwest's most remarkable historic landmarks.
Zzyzx and the Last Shaman of the Desert
The Rise and Fall of Curtis Howe Springer
More than the story of a mysterious desert road, Zzyzx and the Last Shaman of the Desert uncovers the remarkable rise and fall of Curtis Howe Springer, the self-proclaimed physician, evangelist, and health entrepreneur who built an infamous desert empire at the remote Zzyzx Mineral Springs. Drawing upon the author's firsthand experiences during a 1969 undercover investigation, together with years of scholarly research and original historical sources, the book separates fact from legend to reveal the extraordinary story behind one of the Mojave Desert's most enduring historical mysteries.
Going the extra yard
An Army Doctor's Odyssey
Far more than a World War I memoir, Going the Extra Yard chronicles the remarkable life of Colonel Charles M. Hendricks, M.D., an Army physician whose career spanned the Mexican Revolution, General John J. Pershing's Punitive Expedition, the First World War, and decades of pioneering contributions to American medicine. Drawing upon Dr. Hendricks' original journal, personal letters, military records, and extensive historical research, the book traces the legacy of a physician whose influence extended from the battlefield to the founding of the Sun Bowl Association.
