Whistlin' Dan

The Untamed

Ik deed wat elke andere persoon in dit jaar van onze geschiedenis zou hebben gedaan in zo'n geval als het mijne. Ik pakte een revolver en trok die stilletjes uit mijn riem. Tegelijkertijd hoorde ik een diepe basstem zeggen: "Ik ben het, mijn vriend." Lost Wolf zat daar in de duisternis en stilte van mijn kamer, geduldig te wachten tot ik wakker werd! Het was alsof ik mijn ogen opende en een tijger aan mijn oor zag spinnen. Ik schrok, maar stond op en zei dat ik blij was hem te zien. We schudden elkaar de hand. Hij was onverlicht, alleen de sterren glinsterden achter het raam. Hij zag er groter en imposanter uit dan ooit.

De witte Cheyenne: Western

Hij glimlachte onophoudelijk, met zo'n onthechting van de zorgen van gewone stervelingen, met zo'n opwaartse beweging van het hoofd, dat vanaf de eerste dag van werk en dorst zijn kameraden in de boot hem respectievelijk "De Heilige" - "The Saint" - noemden. Op de tweede dag gebruikten ze de naam eerder ironisch dan lovend, waarbij ze opmerkten dat de glimlach van de heilige - of "Sint Joris" zoals sommigen hem noemden - slechts de sluier was van een wezen dat helder en hard was en koud en hoekig als Spaans staal.

De heilige onder de piraten: Historisch avontuur

Hij was drieënzestig, maar zijn hoeven drukten op de grond als de poten van een kat. Waar het maanlicht hem raakte, op zijn schouder of zijn flank, raakte het hem op zijde. Met zijn hoofd omhoog keek hij in de wind, en er leek een lichtheid in hem te zitten, alsof hij in de lucht kon springen en erop kon schrijden; maar de leren dwarsbalken van een halster waren boven zijn hoofd bevestigd, en een touw leidde in de hand van Lake, de halfbloed. De hengst, die er net zo uitzag als de koning van de aarde alsof een havik ooit de koning van de hemel was geweest, was stevig vastgebonden aan een brutale mensheid. Lake draaide zijn woeste gezicht. Dezelfde maan die bleef hangen op de schoonheid van het paard, traceerde de lelijkheid van de man met een paar hoge lichten en doodshoofdachtige schaduwen.

With gusts of wind fanning it roughly, the flame rose fast. Harrigan made other journeys to the rotten stump and wrenched away great chunks of bark and wood. He came back and piled them on the fire. It towered high, the upper tongues twisting among the branches of the tree. They laid Kate Malone between the windbreak and the fire. In a short time her trembling ceased; she turned her face to the blaze and slept.

At the age of six Randall Byrne could name and bound every state in the Union and give the date of its admission; at nine he was conversant with Homeric Greek and Caesar; at twelve he read Aristophanes with perfect understanding of the allusions of the day and divided his leisure between Ovid and Horace; at fifteen, wearied by the simplicity of Old English and Thirteenth Century Italian, he dipped into the history of Philosophy and passed from that, naturally, into calculus and the higher mathematics; at eighteen he took an A. B. from Harvard and while idling away a pleasant summer with Hebrew and Sanscrit he delved lightly into biology and its kindred sciences, having reached the conclusion that Truth is greater than Goodness or Beauty, because it comprises both, and the whole is greater than any of its parts; at twenty-one he pocketed his Ph. D. and was touched with the fever of his first practical enthusiasm - surgery.

Crossroads (Serapis Classics)

"It was time then for action, and Lefty Joe prepared for the descent into the home of the enemy. Let it not be thought that he approached this moment with a fallen heart, and with a cringing, snaky feeling as a man might be expected to feel when he approached to murder a sleeping foeman. For that was not Lefty's emotion at all. Rather he was overcome by a tremendous happiness. He could have sung with joy at the thought that he was about to rid himself of this pest."

And maybe I ain't. Sinclair brushed the entire argument away into a thin mist of smoke. "Now, look here, Cold Feet, I'm about to go to sleep, and when I sleep, I sure sleep sound, taking it by and large. They's times when I don't more'n close one eye all night, and they's times when you'd have to pull my eyes open, one by one, to wake me up. Understand? I'm going to sleep the second way tonight. About eight hours of the soundest sleep you ever heard tell of."

The raucous beginning of Brand's Western is traditional: A gunfighter is shot dead in the street. However, when spinster Elizabeth Cornish takes his baby to raise and wagers with her brother that blood will not "will out"--that Jack's son will not be a murderer--a fascinating story of nature versus nurture emerges.

The Great West prior to the century's turn abounded in legend. Stories were told of fabled gunmen whose bullets always magically found their mark of mighty stallions whose tireless gallop rivaled the speed of the wind of glorious women whose beauty stunned mind and heart. But nowhere in the vast spread of the mountain-desert country was there a greater legend told than the story of Red Pierre and the phantom gunfighter McGurk.

The sheriff was merely confused. He flushed as much as his tanned-leather skin permitted. As for Terry, the moment his glance fell on the sheriff he felt his muscles jump into hard ridges, and an almost uncontrollable desire to go at the throat of the other seized him. He quelled that desire and fought it back with a chill of fear.” Black Jack was first published in 1921. Audiobook read by Richard Kilmer, running time 8 hours and 18 min. Unabridged full version.

Black Jack is a classic western action novel by American writer Max Brand. In this classic western story, the son of a notorious outlaw is adopted into a wealthy, law-abiding family as an infant after his father is killed in an attempted robbery. The raucous beginning of Brand's Western is traditional. A gunfighter is shot dead in the street. However, when spinster Elizabeth Cornish takes his baby to raise and wagers with her brother that blood will not "will out", that Jack's son will not be a murderer - a fascinating story of nature versus nurture emerges. Will the son follow in the footsteps of his outlaw father or will his life be guided by the respectable woman who nurtured him to manhood? Another exciting tale by the master of the pulp western, Max Brand. “The moment he rose out of the chair and faced them, Gainor had stopped short. He was quite capable of fast thinking, and now his glance flickered from Terry to the sheriff and back again. It was plain that he had shrewd suspicions as to the purpose behind that call. The sheriff was merely confused. He flushed as much as his tanned-leather skin permitted. As for Terry, the moment his glance fell on the sheriff he felt his muscles jump into hard ridges, and an almost uncontrollable desire to go at the throat of the other seized him. He quelled that desire and fought it back with a chill of fear.” Black Jack was first published in 1921. E-Book: ePUB, 76,700 words, average reading time 6 hours, 25 min. Also available as audiobook read by Richard Kilmer, running time 8 hours and 18 min. Unabridged full version.

In "Silvertip's Chase," Max Brand presents a gripping tale that intertwines adventure with profound moral questions in the American frontier. This novel showcases Brand's distinct literary style, characterized by vivid descriptions and sharp character development, revealing the harsh realities of life in the Wild West. The narrative unfolds around the legendary figure of Silvertip, a known outlaw whose relentless pursuit for redemption and freedom propels the storyline through thrilling escapades and moral dilemmas, highlighting the conflict between societal laws and personal ethics. Max Brand, a prolific writer of Westerns and a prominent figure in early 20th-century American fiction, often drew inspiration from his own experiences as a wanderer across the American landscape. His fascination with the mythos of the American West and its colorful characters shapes the thematic core of this novel. Brand's background in writing for pulp magazines'Äîwhere brevity and punch were essential'Äîimbues "Silvertip's Chase" with a fast-paced narrative that keeps readers engaged from start to finish. I wholeheartedly recommend "Silvertip's Chase" to aficionados of classic Western literature and readers intrigued by stories of redemption amidst lawlessness. This novel not only entertains but also invites reflection on the complexities of morality and human nature, making it a timeless addition to the Western canon.
