Book Description
Activist Emily Sullivan left her fulfilling job in the Peace Corps to save her family's ranch from bankruptcy. Her dream is to use renewable energy because conservation and education are her passion. Unfortunately, her parents believe there's a greater profit allowing hunting tours to cull the local wild species. Emily vows to change their mind. Donovan Link doesn't stay in one place or with one job too long. This cowboy turned hunter is determined that the hunting lodge he built on the Three Sisters ranch will give him a nice nest egg so he could retire to Alaska, where the game is plentiful and his incarcerated father can never find him. When these two opposites clash, sparks fly. Donovan sees Emily as a sabotaging eco-warrior and she sees him as a soulless trophy hunter. But they need to work together to keep the Three Sisters ranch in the black and fighting with each other — and falling in love — complicates an already impossible situation.

Book Description
“It’s every bit as fascinating to read about the battles between the Cowboys and the Texans as it is to follow today’s never-ending NFL dramas.” —Mike Florio, ProFootballTalk In the 1960s, on the heels of the “Greatest Game Ever Played,” professional football began to flourish across the country—except in Texas, where college football was still the only game in town. But in an unlikely series of events, two young oil tycoons started their own professional football franchises in Dallas the very same year: the NFL’s Dallas Cowboys, and, as part of a new upstart league designed to thwart the NFL’s hold on the game, the Dallas Texans of the AFL. Almost overnight, a bitter feud was born. The team owners, Lamar Hunt and Clint Murchison, became Mad Men of the gridiron, locked in a battle for the hearts and minds of the Texas pigskin faithful. Their teams took each other to court, fought over players, undermined each other’s promotions, and rooted like hell for the other guys to fail. A true visionary, Hunt of the Texans focused on the fans, putting together a team of local legends and hiring attractive women to drive around town in red convertibles selling tickets. Meanwhile, Murchison and his Cowboys focused on the game, hiring a young star, Tom Landry, in what would be his first-ever year as a head coach, and concentrating on holding their own against the more established teams in the NFL. Ultimately, both teams won the battle, but only one got to stay in Dallas and go on to become one of sports’ most quintessential franchises—”America’s Team.” In this highly entertaining narrative, rich in colorful characters and unforgettable stunts, Eisenberg recounts the story of the birth of pro-football in Dallas—back when the game began to be part of this country’s DNA.

Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 333
Book Description
During September, October and November, an army of hunters, twenty-five percent larger than the entire United States Marine Corps., marches across country to the Cowboy Hunting lands of the Rockies. For every one who makes the trip, countless others wish they could, but simply don't know how. This book hopes to help them. Yes, it is a book about hunting, but really, it is a book about adventure. It is a book about leaving day-to-day life and living for a short time in a world 180 degrees and thousands of miles in another direction. Any time two or more hunters gather, it will be only a matter of minutes before the conversation becomes a festival of hunting stories. Each story spawns another one, which leads to another one and yet one more. While this is a how-to book, it is also a collection of stories, gleaned from those who have lived them. Each story is true or at least as true as the memories of old Cowboys can be.
