Read the American West
Horse Creek Publication's American West Books; New Releases.
(PRWEB) July 7, 2004 -- Horse Creek Publications was founded in 2002. Our
mission is to publish quality books about Western History and the American West
that are "good reads." Our books may take the form of narrative history,
biography, memoirs, or historical fiction aimed at adults, young adults, or
children.
We started Horse Creek Publications because of our belief that
many authors are writing good history but are unable to find an outlet for their
work. University presses tend to require works that are of current academic
interest and frankly too often require that the viewpoint be "politically
correct". Many larger publishers are simply inaccessible to unknown authors. We
believe, however, that there is a market for well-written history that simply
tells an interesting story.

Who's Rocking The Cradle? Women Pioneers of Oklahoma Politics from
Socialism to the Ku Klux Klan, 1900-1930
Suzanne H. Schrems, Ph.D.
In
the early 20th century, even before universal suffrage, women in the U.S. became
active in politics. By the 1930's, women had adopted and worked to support
groups and ideals that ran the gamut from socialism to the Women of the Ku Klux
Klan. Women in Oklahoma were a microcosm of this activity, and in 1920 sent
Alice Robertson as the second woman in the U.S. Congress.
Donner Party
Cookbook
Terry A. Del Bene, Ph.D.
You probably know something about
the Donner Party, the wagon train that became snowbound in the mountains on the
way to California. When the food ran out, they resorted to eating their dearly
departed. Terry Del Bene, an archeologist and historian, tells the history of
the ill-fated train and its people. He also lightens the mood with many
delicious recipes that the westward travelers used before the food ran out! You
may acquire this book to learn the history; you may acquire it as a prank,
perhaps as a gift for a favorite home economics teacher, or you may acquire it
for your favorite cook. It will be heartily enjoyed by all.
In Dull
Knife's Wake
Vernon Maddux
You've seen part of the story in Cheyenne
Autumn. Now, Vernon Maddux tells the rest of the story surrounding the breakout
of the Northern Cheyennes from Darlington Reservation in Indian Territory and
their bloody but futile attempt to return to their northern homeland in the fall
of 1878. You'll forget you know the inevitable end of the story and you'll feel
both sides of the conflict as Mr. Maddux recounts the last Indian raids in
Kansas and the final massacre of the Cheyenne.
Uncommon Women, Unmarked
Trails: The Courageous Journey of Catholic Missionary Sisters In Frontier
Montana.
Suzanne H. Schrems, Ph.D.
During the Victorian era, a
woman's place was by the hearth, protected by a husband, and tending to home and
family. During that same time, however, there were a relatively small number of
uncommon women who left those comforts behind to work for higher goals on the
western frontier. They left a legacy of hospitals and schools for Native
Americans that endure to this day. Uncommon Women, Unmarked Trails tells their
story.
