DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis story is about Puddy, a young elephant in the Kruger National Park, whose herd is culled. He and his mother are spared and sold to a small game park. Five years later at the age of nine, he, accompanied by an otter named Tarak, a polecat, a dog and two eagles, returns to his original home to search for his father. He and five bull elephants prevent a cull from taking place after which he and Tarak set out to explore the park. They meet a Russian named Bosky who for the past 28 years has been digging the park full of holes in fruitless search for gold he believes was buried there during the Anglo South African war. Bosky, who is able to communicate with animals and lives amongst them fearlessly, decides to accompany them. Bosky rescues Puddy when he gets into trouble with game rangers. They are joined by an old zebra; they annoy a baboon; foil the plans of two poachers, and are confronted by a lion and his mate. Puddy goes to place his memory of which is afterwards insubstantial and elusive. Later, Burchell saves Bosky from being trampled by an enraged elephant that flung him to the ground. Then the three animals together save the severely injured Bosky's life again. The story ends where plans are being made for a journey to a land where mammoths once lived; a story that is nearly complete.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK“Mining companies piled trash coal in a slag heap and set it ablaze. The coal burned up, but the slate didn’t. The heat turned it rose and orange and lavender. The dirt road I lived on was paved with that sharp-edged rock. We called it Red Dog. My grandmother always told me, ‘Don’t you go running on that Red Dog road.’ But oh, I did.” Gypsies, faith-healers, moonshiners, and snake handlers weave through Drema’s childhood in 1940s Appalachia after Drema’s father is killed in the coal mines, her mother goes off to work as a Rosie the Riveter, and she is left in the care of devout Pentecostal grandparents. What follows is a spitfire of a memoir that reads like a novel with intrigue, sweeping emotion, and indisputable charm. Drema’s coming of age is colored by tent revivals with Grandpa, jitterbug lessons, and traveling carnivals, and though it all, she serves witness to a multi-generational family of saints and sinners whose lives defy the stereotypes. Just as she defies her own. Running On Red Dog Road is proof that truth is stranger than fiction, especially when it comes to life and faith in an Appalachian childhood.

Texas was stripped of the Texas Rangers, a requirement imposed on Texas by the North. The Texas State Police was ineffective to the point that honest men found that six-gun justice was the only way to survive. The attitude of the average Texan was, If you cant take care of yourself, you dont belong in Texas. Matt had worked on the family cattle ranch all his life with his Pa and four older brothers. Trained to handle himself, Matt did a mans work. The Teal brothersMatt, Tucker, and Cordwere trailing the killer when the bushwhacker waylaid them and shot Cord. Tucker stayed with Cord, which left Matt to go on alone. Matt soon finds out the man hes chasing is no tenderfoot. A member of Col Berdans sharpshooters during the war, the killer shows himself to be wily as a fox, cunning, and deviously crafty, staying ahead of Matt across Texas and back. Along the way, Matt helps a wounded Kickapoo war chief, saves a man buried in mud, and finds a pretty girl right in his own ranch country. During the search, Matt was buried in a dirt slide, captured by Kickapoo Indians who were going to sell him to a mine in Mexico, and found a brother he didnt know he had. This book is an exciting portrayal of a young mans search for his fathers killer and the things he learns about himself along the way.
