Cowgirl Trail


Book Description

Cowgirl Trail is part of a six-book series about four generations of the Morgan family living, fighting, and thriving amidst a turbulent Texas history spanning from 1845 to 1896. Although a series, each book can be read on its own. In 1884 Maggie Porter returns to the Rocking P Ranch. The sanatorium was not able to save her mother and now her father’s health is failing. When the cowboys walk off the job leaving no one to drive the cattle to market, head ranch hand, Alex Bright, cannot convince the men to stay. How could Alex let this happen? Maggie is desperate to save the ranch and she turns to the town’s women for help. The new cowgirls must herd, rope, and drive the cattle to market. With only two days left, outlaws charge the small band of cowgirls in an effort to start a stampede. The cattle begin to scatter. Will they lose everything? Where will their help come from?




A Cowgirl's Trail


Book Description

Carla Johnson wanted to be a cowboy when she grew up. But how can you do that unless you have your very own cow pony? Every prayer she uttered included the words, God, could you please, somehow bring me a real live cow pony of my own?" She never got tired of hearing those legends, ballads and trail songs of her old west heroes. She loved horses and read hundreds of stories about them. The story of Sgt. Reckless, a horse who served as a Marine in the Korean War, intrigued and inspired her. She told her dad, "Ever since I read about Sgt. Reckless, I wanted to experience some of her world. I figure I couldn't do anything less than a horse. She was a Marine and I just have to be one too." And thus, Carla's adventurous "Want to be a Cowboy" trail began.

Cowgirls


Book Description

American lore has slighted the cowgirl, although at least one can still be found in nearly every ranching community. Like her male counterpart, she rides and ropes, understands land and stock, and confronts the elements. The writer and photographer Teresa Jordan traveled sixty thousand miles in the American West, talking with more than a hundred authentic cowgirls running ranches and performing in rodeos. The result is a fascinating book that also situates the cowgirl in history and literature. A new preface and updated bibliography have been added to this Bison Book edition.
