The Strong, Silent Type
Many of the stars of silent westerns were young horse wranglers who left the open fields to make extra money bulldogging steers and chasing Indians around arenas in traveling Wild West shows. They made their way to Hollywood when the popularity of the Wild West shows began to decline, found work acting in action-packed silent westerns, and became idols for early moviegoers everywhere. More than 100 of those cowboys who starred in silent westerns between 1903 and 1930 are highlighted in this work. Among those included are Art Acord, Broncho Billy Anderson, Harry Carey, Fred Cody, Bob Custer, Jack Daugherty, William Desmond, William Duncan, Dustin Farnum, William Farnum, Hoot Gibson, Neal Hart, William S. Hart, Jack Holt, Jack Hoxie, Buck Jones, J. Warren Kerrigan, George Larkin, Leo Maloney, Ken Maynard, Tim McCoy, Tom Mix, Pete Morrison, Jack Mower, Jack Perrin, William Russell, Bob Steele, Fred Thompson, Tom Tyler, and Wally Wales, to name just a few. Biographical information and a complete filmography are provided for each actor. Richly illustrated with more than 300 movie stills.
Knock Back
What happens when you find answers to questions you never even asked? When Ben discovers he is adopted, he is determined to find out who his ‘real’ family are – but why does he want to be ‘committed’ to Knockmore, a residential farm for ‘troubled teens’? What does he hope to learn there? The Knockmore experience turns out to be more than he bargained for. Amid cows, rescued horses and random hens, Ben finds some unlikely friends – lovely but moody Lauren, explosive rebellious Frank and mysterious silent Heath. Together, they teach him that the world doesn’t owe him any favours. Then Ben stumbles upon a startling fact and realises that Knockmore has secrets of its own – dangerous ones. In trying to uncover them, Ben may also unlock the secrets of his past – and find out not only who he is but who he can become.

An Archaeology of Desperation
The Donner Party is almost inextricably linked with cannibalism. In truth, we know remarkably little about what actually happened to the starving travelers stranded in the Sierra Nevada in the winter of 1846–47. Combining the approaches of history, ethnohistory, archaeology, bioarchaeology, and social anthropology, this innovative look at the Donner Party’s experience at the Alder Creek Camp offers insights into many long-unsolved mysteries. Centered on archaeological investigations in the summers of 2003 and 2004 near Truckee, California, the book includes detailed analyses of artifacts and bones that suggest what life was like in this survival camp. Microscopic investigations of tiny b...
