| lone star percussion contest: Ride for the Lone Star Stephen L. Turner, 2012-04-25 Aaron Turner is a tall redheaded fifty-three year old minister and Lieutenant Colonel in the Texas militia. Duty calls him to participate in both the Cherokee and Wichita Wars. He and his family struggle to survive the financial panic of 1837, Indian raids, a whooping cough epidemic and scorching drought. He responds with optimism, determination and innovation. When money is scarce, they gather and sell wild horses. When food is scarce, they travel to the dangerous Comancheria to hunt buffalo. As the Mexican-American War erupts, Aaron is commissioned Colonel of Scouts and leads a regiment that will play a significant role in the conflict in a faraway land. Will the time come when the old warrior will lay down his saber? Will he hang up his guns in peace at last? RIDE FOR THE LONE STAR, the fourth volume in the Western Quest Series, follows Aaron Turner, his family and friends, through the turbulent days of the Republic of Texas, culminating in the annexation of Texas by the United States and the Mexican-American War. STEPHEN L. TURNER was born a fifth generation Texan, sixth generation Arkansan, and eighth generation American. His youth was steeped in the history and culture of his heritage. A graduate of Texas Tech School of Medicine, he has worked as a pediatrician in rural Plainview, Texas since 1984. He is married with two married children. His other time is spent on their panhandle ranch, raising horses and hunting. His other novels in the Western Quest Series to date are OUT OF THE WILDERNESS, ON THE CAMINO REAL and UNDER TROUBLED SKIES, all from Sunstone Press. |

| lone star percussion contest: Lone Star Justice Robert M. Utley, 2002-05-16 From The Lone Ranger to Lonesome Dove, the Texas Rangers have been celebrated in fact and fiction for their daring exploits in bringing justice to the Old West. In Lone Star Justice, best-selling author Robert M. Utley captures the first hundred years of Ranger history, in a narrative packed with adventures worthy of Zane Grey or Larry McMurtry. The Rangers began in the 1820s as loose groups of citizen soldiers, banding together to chase Indians and Mexicans on the raw Texas frontier. Utley shows how, under the leadership of men like Jack Hays and Ben McCulloch, these fiercely independent fighters were transformed into a well-trained, cohesive team. Armed with a revolutionary new weapon, Samuel Colt's repeating revolver, they became a deadly fighting force, whether battling Comanches on the plains or storming the city of Monterey in the Mexican-American War. As the Rangers evolved from part-time warriors to full-time lawmen by 1874, they learned to face new dangers, including homicidal feuds, labor strikes, and vigilantes turned mobs. They battled train robbers, cattle thieves and other outlaws--it was Rangers, for example, who captured John Wesley Hardin, the most feared gunman in the West. Based on exhaustive research in Texas archives, this is the most authoritative history of the Texas Rangers in over half a century. It will stand alongside other classics of Western history by Robert M. Utley--a vivid portrait of the Old West and of the legendary men who kept the law on the lawless frontier. |

| lone star percussion contest: Heather's Treehouse: A Macabre Thriller Christopher Alan Broadstone, 2025-06-08 A MACABRE THRILLER For Those Who Love POE, Clive BARKER, and The TWILIGHT ZONE. Purisima Concepción Mission Tejás 1716 “Despelleja los diablos rojos vivos!” cried Guarco. More soldiers ran past the Spanish jailer as he cheered them on. “Skin the red devils alive, I say! And may God damn them to hell!” Roaring with laughter, Guarco forced the jail door shut against the whiplash wind and secured it. With the intense heat of the day colliding with the cold of this evening tempest, hail and worse would soon follow. Pulling a torch from its hammered sconce, he made his way from the jail’s anteroom and down its unlit corridor to look in on his newest prisoner, Brezo. She did not lift her chin from her chest. “Witch!” he growled. “You hurt my friend. You let him kiss and kiss and kiss, and you ate his tongue. You chewed out his eyes while he choked on his own blood. Y-you, you-ou––” Brezo moved so quickly Guarco did not even see her head jerk or shudder, let alone rise, her upturned eyes so intense, the whites so bared, it looked as if two hard-boiled eggs had been set into her sockets. And, for the first time in his life, Guarco the jailer felt he had become the prisoner. So begins Heather’s Treehouse, a tale sprigging from the brutal black magic of Native American witchcraft, vengeance, and the savage, merciless end of things in the Old World, gone to seed in 1716 and burgeoning 272 years later in the far more modern world of 1988, Edgewood, Texas. On the outskirts of this sleepy little town, the purest form of evil has been nurtured by the blood and somatic fluids of centuries of slaughter and simmering hatred, gestating within a morbidly gnarled black oak named Heather’s Treehouse by fifteen-year-old, aspiring author Matley Joe Roberts. For Matley, Sheriff R. J. Whittaker, and the elderly Tawakoni Indian, Pappy Sobs, the horrific and grisly fight to save Edgewood is a fight not only to save their home and its unsuspecting populace, but also their own souls and the higher ideals of humanity. It is a reckoning that quickly escalates into the first battle in a timeless war of tribalism versus individualism, ensconced identity-fueled vengeance versus commonsense and reason, the inevitable result an epic total-war ruin that could threaten all of mankind if allowed to flourish and spread beyond the borders of Edgewood. “And that,” says the ever-wise Pappy Sobs to young Matley, “is why we fight. ‘Cause the very Devil himself might run this world, but he still doesn’t own it. Not as long as we never, ever, ever lie down.” “Broadstone creates three-dimensional mythologies for his fictional worlds, and with Heather's Treehouse, suggests that if the bad histories man keeps buried underground aren't exhumed, they will find a way to burst forth and reclaim an unassuming civilization with a bloody vengeance. With sharply-defined characters inhabiting a small-town familiarity, the reader becomes invested in the misfits, the bullies, and the civil servants, to the point where their commingling with supernatural forces results in genuine, mind-altering shock. Written with page-turning urgency, Heather's Treehouse is yet another gem from an innovative literary mind.” –– Jonny Numb, www.JonnyNumb.com “Heather's Treehouse is full of unexpected twists and action. It's epic, it's blood-curdling, and its raw human drama left me astounded. A tale masterfully crafted and brilliantly told! The story of Bloodmoon will haunt you for nights to come.” –– L.R.Liverpool, Author of The Man In Black |

| lone star percussion contest: Jazz Mavericks of the Lone Star State Dave Oliphant, 2009-12-03 Jazz is one of America's greatest gifts to the arts, and native Texas musicians have played a major role in the development of jazz from its birth in ragtime, blues, and boogie-woogie to its most contemporary manifestation in free jazz. Dave Oliphant began the fascinating story of Texans and jazz in his acclaimed book Texan Jazz, published in 1996. Continuing his riff on this intriguing musical theme, Oliphant uncovers in this new volume more of the prolific connections between Texas musicians and jazz. Jazz Mavericks of the Lone Star State presents sixteen published and previously unpublished essays on Texans and jazz. Oliphant celebrates the contributions of such vital figures as Eddie Durham, Kenny Dorham, Leo Wright, and Ornette Coleman. He also takes a fuller look at Western Swing through Milton Brown and his Musical Brownies and a review of Duncan McLean's Lone Star Swing. In addition, he traces the relationship between British jazz criticism and Texas jazz and defends the reputation of Texas folklorist Alan Lomax as the first biographer of legendary jazz pianist-composer Jelly Roll Morton. In other essays, Oliphant examines the links between jazz and literature, including fiction and poetry by Texas writers, and reveals the seemingly unlikely connection between Texas and Wisconsin in jazz annals. All the essays in this book underscore the important parts played by Texas musicians in jazz history and the significance of Texas to jazz, as also demonstrated by Oliphant's reviews of the Ken Burns PBS series on jazz and Alfred Appel Jr.'s Jazz Modernism. |

| lone star percussion contest: Look Away! William C. Davis, 2002-04-12 William C. Davis, one of America's best Civil War historians, here offers a definitive portrait of the Confederacy unlike any that has come before. Drawing on decades of writing and research among an unprecedented number of archives, Look Away! tells the story of the Confederate States of America not simply as a military saga (although it is that), but rather as a full portrait of a society and incipient nation. The first history of the Confederacy in decades, the culmination of a great scholar's career, Look Away! combines politics, economics, and social history to set a new standard for its subject. Previous histories have focused on familiar commanders such as Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson, but Davis's canvas is much broader. From firebrand politicians like Robert Barnwell Rhett and William L. Yancey, who pushed for secession long before the public supported it; to Dr. Samuel Cartwright, who persuaded many Southerners of the natural inferiority of their slaves; to the women of Richmond, who rioted over bread shortages in 1863, Davis presents a rich new face of the Confederate nation. He recounts familiar stories of battles won and lost, but also little-known economic stories of a desperate government that socialized the salt industry, home-front stories of the rangers and marauders who preyed on their fellow Confederates, and an account of the steady breakdown of law, culminating in near anarchy in some states. Never has the Confederacy been so vividly brought to life as a full society, riven with political and economic conflicts beneath its more loudly publicized military battles. Davis's astonishingly thorough primary research has ranged across the 800-odd newspapers that were in operation during the war, but also across the personal papers of over a hundred Southern leaders and ordinary citizens. He quotes from letters and diaries throughout the narrative, revealing the Confederacy through the words of the Confederates themselves. Like any society, especially in the early stages of nation-building and the devastating stages of warfare, the Confederacy was not one thing but many things to many people. One thing, however, was shared by all: the belief that the South offered a necessary evolution of American democracy. Look Away! offers a dramatic and definitive account of one of America's most searing episodes. |
| lone star percussion contest: Growing Up in the Lone Star State Gaylon Finklea Hecker, Marianne Odom, 2021-04-06 Gaylon Finklea Hecker and Marianne Odom began the interviews for this book in 1981 and devoted a professional lifetime to collecting the memories of accomplished Texans to determine what, if anything, about growing up in the Lone Star State prepared them for success. The resulting forty-seven oral history interviews begin with tales from the early 1900s, when Texas was an agrarian state, and continue through the growth of major cities and the country’s race to the moon. Interviewees recalled life in former slave colonies; on gigantic ranches, tiny farms, and sharecropper fields; and in one-horse towns and big-city neighborhoods, with relatable stories as diverse as the state’s geography. The oldest interviewees witnessed women earning the right to vote and weathered the Great Depression. Many remembered two world wars, while others recalled the Texas City explosion of 1947 and the tornado that devastated Waco in 1953. They witnessed the advent of television and the nightly news, which helped many come to terms with the assassination of a president that took place too close to home. Their absorbing reflections are stories of good and bad, hope and despair, poverty and wealth, depression and inspiration, which would have been different if lived anywhere but Texas. |

| lone star percussion contest: Firearms of the Texas Rangers Doug Dukes, 2020-08-14 From their founding in the 1820s up to the modern age, the Texas Rangers have shown the ability to adapt and survive. Part of that survival depended on their use of firearms. The evolving technology of these weapons often determined the effectiveness of these early day Rangers. John Coffee “Jack” Hays and Samuel Walker would leave their mark on the Rangers by incorporating new technology which allowed them to alter tactics when confronting their adversaries. The Frontier Battalion was created at about the same time as the Colt Peacemaker and the Winchester 73—these were the guns that “won the West.” Firearms of the Texas Rangers, with more than 180 photographs, tells the history of the Texas Rangers primarily through the use of their firearms. Author Doug Dukes narrates famous episodes in Ranger history, including Jack Hays and the Paterson, the Walker Colt, the McCulloch Colt Revolver (smuggled through the Union blockade during the Civil War), and the Frontier Battalion and their use of the Colt Peacemaker and Winchester and Sharps carbines. Readers will delight in learning of Frank Hamer’s marksmanship with his Colt Single Action Army and his Remington, along with Captain J.W. McCormick and his two .45 Colt pistols, complete with photos. Whether it was a Ranger in 1844 with his Paterson on patrol for Indians north of San Antonio, or a Ranger in 2016 with his LaRue 7.62 rifle working the Rio Grande looking for smugglers and terrorists, the technology may have changed, but the gritty job of the Rangers has not. |
