  • The Log of a Cowboy: A Narrative of the Old Trail Days

    Andy Adams, Thomas McGuane

    Paperback (Mariner Books, Nov. 20, 2000)
    A classic fictional chronicle of life on the open trail, THE LOG OF A COWBOY has long been considered the best and most reliable account of real cowboy life ever written. In the years following the Civil War, sixteen-year-old Andy Adams left his home in the San Antonio Valley and took to the range. Here he charts his first journey as a bona fide cowboy, from south Texas to Montana along the western trail. Guided by his plainspoken, sure-saddled voice and the living, breathing feel of firsthand experience on every page, we relive dusty cattle drives, perilous river crossings, honor-based gunfights, and narrow escapes from buffalo stampedes, not to mention tall tales passed around the campfire and such unforgettable characters as Bull Durham and Bill Blades. THE LOG OF A COWBOY, newly introduced by Thomas McGuane, offers a true depiction of a cowboy's life and work as well as a classic adventure story of the great American frontier.

  • Crow Fair: Stories

    Thomas McGuane, Roger Wayne

    Audio CD (Tantor Audio, May 26, 2015)
    Set in Thomas McGuane's accustomed Big Sky country, with its mesmeric powers, these stories attest to the generous compass of his fellow feeling, as well as to his unique way with words and the comic genius that has inspired comparison with Twain and Gogol.The ties of family make for uncomfortable binds: A devoted son is horrified to discover his mother's antics before she slipped into dementia. A father's outdoor skills are no match for an ominous change in the weather. But complications arise equally in the absence of blood, as when lifelong friends on a fishing trip finally confront their deep dislike for each other. Or when a gifted traveling cattle breeder succumbs to the lure of a stranger's offer of easy money.McGuane is as witty and large-hearted as we have ever known him-a jubilant, thunderous confirmation of his status as a modern master.

  • The Legend of Danny MacArthur

    Thomas McGlone

    (, Nov. 25, 2019)
    A short but interesting work discussing politics, religion, and mental health.I think I hate Trump so much because he and I are the same person. We both come from wealthy families, we both fall for conspiracy theories, we both love the ladies, and we both have somewhat of a power complex. It’s like staring into a mirror and it’s eerie. Plus, Sacha Baron Cohen interviewed him once and asked what people like most and Trump said music. I couldn’t agree more. I’m not saying he’s not smart, I just think he’s shady and dishonest. I hope he doesn’t get elected in 2020. Hopefully the voters will take a stand and vote him out of office.If the left had their way, we would have transgender bathrooms everywhere. Whatever. If the right had their way, we would all carry guns and confederate flags. I just think the right is more dangerous.Even if America is to become a state of social capitalism, it would be impossible to revert to a state of feudalism, which many conservatives fear, because we have a system of checks and balances that prevents this from happening.Republicans try to label everything the Democrats do as socialist. It bothers me. Socialism means government control over industry; universal healthcare and affordable college plans are not socialist, they are called “social capitalism,” or capitalism with a human element. Capitalism without regulation, that is, putting profit above people, is what we had before unions began. Do we want to revert to a time when children worked in mines and died at 30? I should hope not.
