Paperback. Condición: Very Good. The fascinating history of the Pony Express unfolds in this historical novel for young readers aged 8 to 14. The Pony Express operated only 19 months from April 3, 1860 to October 24, 1861, but it captured America's thirst for adventure, and it fulfilled an important communication link between the new State of California and the rest of the Country during the unsettled period before the Civil War. Remarkably, most riders were teenagers. The Pony Express relied on the ability and endurance of small riders weighing less than 125 pounds. Despite their young ages, the brave and dedicated mail riders faced danger from wild animals, hostile Indians, and severe weather. Jake Hooter was one of these brave youngsters. Based upon true stories told by riders and horsemen employed by the Pony Express, Jake encounters Indians, wolves, snakes, and hardship. He endures searing heat, bone chilling cold, and a raging blizzard during his rides to deliver the mail. As a result of a crippling injury to his father, Jake is forced to leave his family's horse ranch in order to earn money to sustain it. He develops from a homesick boy to a dedicated and responsible young Pony Express carrier. Although the Pony Express operated for a short time, it was the period around the election of Abraham Lincoln and the terrible turmoil among the States regarding slavery. Rapid communication between Washington and California was considered vital. The news of President Lincoln's election was carried across the plains in record time, and the thrilling account of Jake's ride is an historical highlight in the story. Children who love horses will enjoy the major role they play in the tale. Jake develops a close relationship with a special pony that saves him on more than one occasion. Enhanced with 31 story illustrations and filled with action based on true events, this historical novel for children from 8 to 14 provides character development, action, and adventure.…

Hardback. Condición: Very Good. From the day Lyndon Johnson stepped into the U.S. Presidency, he lived in the shadow of Vietnam. With all his skills as a hard-nosed politician, he should have been successful at waging war. Indeed, on the home front, with his War on Poverty, even in the Dominican Republic, he was successful. Yet in Vietnam he failed, in epic proportions. This is the paradox--the shadow-that frames Frank E. Vandiver's riveting examination of one of America's most fascinating and controversial presidents mired in the depths of Vietnam, our most complex and controversial war. It is still not popular--perhaps it never will be-to be sympathetic to Lyndon Johnson. Vandiver stops short of that but is, in the tradition of the biographer, empathetic with him. Readers may disagree with some aspects of this controversial presentation, but, as Vandiver has done for Stonewall Jackson and Black Jack Pershing, he offers an understanding of a major wartime figure as he likely saw himself. His purpose is to show what Johnson knew, felt, feared, and tried to do. This, then, is the Vietnam War through Lyndon Johnson's eyes, with Vandiver providing perspective and the missing puzzle pieces not available to Johnson at the time. Vandiver offers a broad, sweeping synthesis of the scholarship on Johnson's war presidency, along with new insights culled from numerous and extensive interviews and a far-reaching immersion in the primary documents housed in archives around the country. He provides an unusual combination of politico-military analysis with on-the-scene battle narratives, dramatically juxtaposing for the reader the reality in Vietnam with the perceptions of it in Washington. Compellingly addressing long-standing questions of whether the White House had become isolated from public opinion and whether Johnson was hardened to the voices raised against the war, Vandiver shows the president as a man who agonized, raged, and grew in response to crises in Vietnam and at home. In the most complete account yet of the period from late 1967 to LBJ's decision not to run for re-election, he probes the shifting honesty of the president's men on the Vietnam scene and identifies a playbill of White House villains who, over the years, have often been cast as heroes. He argues that Johnson entered the war honestly-fully believing that Russia and China were serious threats and convinced by his Tuesday Lunch advisors that aiding South Vietnam was essential to maintaining America's international reputation--but without confidence in his foreign policy role. In the end, Vandiver concludes that, tragically, had Johnson had the faith in his war instincts that he had on other fronts, he might have achieved his goals, emerging at last from the shadow of Vietnam.…
