Philip Burnham Jr. murmurs his poems to us as if they were delicate miracles of nature or intimate secrets ... and many of them are. The poet's persona captures you with his likeability and does a masterful job conveying love, loss, and mortality through images of the natural world and an extraordinary perception of the ordinary and tangible elements of time and place. - Dennis Daly

"Epic in its scale, fearless in its scope" (Hampton Sides), this masterfully told account of the American West from a two-time Pulitzer Prize finalist sets a new standard as it sweeps from the California Gold Rush and beyond. In Dreams of El Dorado, H. W. Brands tells the thrilling, panoramic story of the settling of the American West. He takes us from John Jacob Astor's fur trading outpost in Oregon to the Texas Revolution, from the California gold rush to the Oklahoma land rush. He shows how the migrants' dreams drove them to feats of courage and perseverance that put their stay-at-home cousins to shame-and how those same dreams also drove them to outrageous acts of violence against indigenous peoples and one another. The West was where riches would reward the miner's persistence, the cattleman's courage, the railroad man's enterprise; but El Dorado was at least as elusive in the West as it ever was in the East. Balanced, authoritative, and masterfully told, Dreams of El Dorado sets a new standard for histories of the American West.

Trembling, once more Garrison turned the key, and the box opened. All that he found within was a stack of old papers, a ring, an old piece of flint and a candle... He looked at the ring, and it was plain but for a single four-pointed star and crescent moon emblazoned upon it. He then turned his candle to the stack of papers, and saw etched upon their cover-sheet his father's rose insignia. Trembling, mind now years and distances away from this place, within the dancing candlelight, he began to read... "My dearest Perrion, ...how grey it always seems here as if nothing moves. It seems as if this silly job I've taken with the circus, with the bears is, but for thoughts of you, my only joy. Oh! I'm sorry for this... Forgive me, mine love, and accept this: it is my ring and signet. I shall not be going back, ever, and so I give it, too, along with mine heart, to you." In Winter Dreams, author B. Charles Price tells a tale of the reality beyond the fantasy through a beautiful depiction of the illusion.
