Book Description
Excerpt from Life on the Border: Sixty Years Ago The log houses, everywhere visible in my boyhood, had disappeared and had been replaced with subatan tial wooden. Brick or stone structures; the small farms had mostly been absorbed in large ones; the old em ployments of wood chopping and rail Splitting had given way to the care of stock and cultivation of hay, and an air of thrift and comfort had super seded the former very narrow and straitened circum stances of the people. In fact an entirely new class ofin habitants - uot all to the manor born - dwelt where the former pioneers prepared the way and only two or three of the old settlers remained as mementoes of sixty years ago.

Sixty Miles of Border
Author: Terry KirkpatrickPublisher: Penguin
ISBN: 1101581123
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 330
Book Description
The border between the United States and Mexico is a no-man’s land. Drugs, guns, and human beings are the cargo of choice in a multi-billion dollar illegal empire dominated by powerful cartels, murderous street gangs, and corrupt government officials. Against them stand the Special Agents of the United States Customs Service—men and women who fight to uphold the law and protect the U.S. on both sides of the border. Terry Kirkpatrick worked one of the toughest jobs in America: a U.S. Customs agent on the border between Arizona and Mexico. He’s seen it all and done more for over twenty years in a job that many officers quit before they make it six months. These are the gritty and graphic true stories of Terry and his fellow “Border Rats” as they patrol America’s modern badlands, where bullets are currency and blood is taken as payment. From the inhuman conditions people suffer under to get onto American soil, to working with blatantly crooked military leaders, to some of the most insane and unbelievable situations ever survived, readers will experience the chaos that has engulfed the U.S. border in the words of a man who has been there. 60 Miles of Border sheds an unsparing light into the life of customs agents, their dealings on the border, the effect on their daily lives—and an unsparing look at one of the most hotly debated and controversial topics in modern America.

Book Description
The Southwestern border is one of the most fascinating places in America, a region of rugged beauty and small communities that coexist across the international line. In the past decade, the area has also become deadly as illegal immigration has shifted into some of the harshest territory on the continent, reshaping life on both sides of the border. In Hard Line, Ken Ellingwood, a correspondent for the Los Angeles Times, captures the heart of this complex and fascinating land, through the dramatic stories of undocumented immigrants and the border agents who track them through the desert, Native Americans divided between two countries, human rights workers aiding the migrants and ranchers taking the law into their own hands. This is a vivid portrait of a place and its people, and a moving story of the West that has major implications for the nation as a whole.
