Was life on the range in the 1880s and 1890s anything like the hard riding, hard working, hard drinking shoot 'em up images that moviegoers saw in old Westerns? Yes-and then some, the authentic documents in this collection tell us. Cowboys, sheepherders, ranchers and all those around them in Territorial New Mexico were engaged in constant life-and-death struggles. They battled with each other and with Indians. They endured blizzards, fires, drought, floods, disease and stampeding cattle. In one account, on the morning after Comanche Indians stole all their cattle, James Chisum told his daughter, "Cheer up, Sallie, the worst is yet to come." Also included in this collection are reports of cooperation and glimpses of daily happiness: the simple pleasure of riding the range; camaraderie during roundups; hot meals dished out from the chuck wagon; cow camp entertainments; trips to town for fandangos; a sheepherder resting beneath the constellations and his breakfast of "burra iates." There are also high-spirited narratives describing the taming of a good steer, adventures along the cattle trails, the retrieval of mavericks and the roundup of mustangs. If the stories in this collection seem familiar, they are also surprisingly fresh. Luckily for the rest of us, field workers in the Federal Writers' Project (a branch of the government-funded Works Progress Administration, or WPA, later called the Work Projects Administration), loved to listen and record as much as their subjects liked to talk. The resulting stories from 1935 to 1939 are rich in detail and human spirit. This collection also includes local newspaper articles, reports from New Mexico governors on the state of the livestock industry, cowboy poems, square dance calls, descriptions and drawings of cattle brands, glossaries of cowboy terms and the names of ranches in Colfax County. "Cowboys, Ranching & Cattle Trails" is the fifth volume in the New Mexico Federal Writers' Project book series. Previous titles are "Outlaws & Desperados," "Frontier Stories," "Lost Treasures & Old Mines" and "Stories from Hispano New Mexico." ANN LACY, an artist and researcher/writer, has lived in New Mexico since 1979. She works on projects related to New Mexico history, culture and environment issues. She is the recipient of a City of Santa Fe Heritage Preservation Award. ANNE VALLEY-FOX, writer, poet and researcher, is co-editor of the New Mexico Federal Writers' Project Book series. Her fourth volume of poetry is "How Shadows Are Bundled."Binding Type: Paperback

There so much flavor without it oozing all over the place.
I am so happy I found this chutney. It is perfect consistency to spread on bread to make our chutney sandwiches. The double bottle buy is the way to go. Always have one back up ready to go.

Delicious Peach Chutney - Perfect with Samosas!
We get frozen samosas and heat them up in the oven for 15 minutes, then serve them with this delicious peach chutney. I've been enjoying this chutney since I lived in Africa and am so happy I can get some at amazon whenever we are close to running out. This will become essential to your life once you taste how delicious it is.
My husband also put it on a rice dish I threw together with some stir fried rice, corn, rotisserie chicken pieces and a few chopped up pieces of sweet onion. You do what you can to keep dinner on the table!
With the samosas and the chutney half the work is done! I'll keep getting this and I liked that the bottles arrived nicely packaged in bubble wrap so they didn't break! I have to compliment my delivery people, they all treat my packages gently!
You may also love this chutney with curry or mix it with mayonnaise and stir it with some sliced bananas as we used to do in Africa. It also works in curried chicken salad. So lots of ideas!
