Описание: The short, bloody career of "Bronco Bill" Walters and his gang captures the devil-may-care violence of the Wild West. In this detailed narrative of the gang's crime spree in territorial New Mexico and Arizona, two experts in outlaw history offer a gunshot-by-gunshot account of how some especially dangerous outlaws plied their trade in 1898.William Walters reached New Mexico Territory from Texas in the late 1880s and quickly gained a reputation for his ability to sit a horse and for his violent ways. The Bronco Bill Gang skillfully dissects his propensity for trouble and shows how he soon found himself in the territorial penitentiary. In the spring of 1898, after a sojourn stealing horses in Arizona, Walters and four apprentice outlaws turned to armed robbery, holding up passenger trains on the Santa Fe Railroad in Grants and Bel?n, New Mexico. By the time a Wells Fargo posse captured Bronco Bill, two of the outlaws, two deputies, and a Navajo tracker had been killed in gunfights.Anyone with a taste for western history or an interest in New Mexico and Arizona in the bad old days will find this book irresistible. The authors' attention to the ways Bill and his men fell into a life of crime shows us the real West, where cowboys and gunmen could wind up on either side of the law. The Bronco Bill Gang is the first book to explore this fabled band of outlaws who crisscrossed the American Southwest.

Описание: This illustrated history portrays one of England's finest counties. It provides a nostalgic look at Norfolk's past and highlights the special character of some of its most important historic sites. The photographs are taken from the Historic England Archive, a unique collection of over 12 million photographs, drawings, plans and documents covering England's archaeology, architecture, social and local history. Pictures date from the earliest days of photography to the present and cover subjects from Bronze Age burials and medieval churches to cinemas and seaside resorts. The county of Norfolk has been an important region in England since the Middle Ages. The county was one of the most heavily populated areas in mediaeval England, growing in prosperity through the wool trade. Norfolk's major city Norwich became one of the leading cities in the country and although the area did not grow as heavily during Industrial Revolution as other parts of the country Norwich today retains its position as a major commercial, industrial and cultural centre for East Anglia. Norfolk is still a largely rural county and is renowned today for its historical towns and villages, its magnificent heritage of historic buildings including large country houses and the royal residence at Sandringham, its long coastline with popular seaside resorts and atmospheric marshlands and the unspoilt waterways of the Broads.

Описание: This is a fascinating illustrated history of a relatively modern county, one created from the boundary changes implemented in 1974 by the Local Government Act 1972. Tyne and Wear was created from the most populated areas of the Tyne and Wear valleys originally in Northumberland and County Durham, and this book provides a nostalgic look at the area's rich historical past and some of its most important historic sites.The photographs are taken from the Historic England Archive, a unique collection of over 12 million photographs, drawings, plans and documents covering England's archaeology, architecture, social and local history. Pictures date from the earliest days of photography to the present and cover subjects from Bronze Age burials and medieval churches to cinemas and seaside resorts.'Historic England: Tyne and Wear' explores every part of the county from the shipbuilding of Sunderland and Newcastle to the coal-mining villages surrounding the larger towns, from the ports to the historic monasteries and castles. The region is steeped in Anglo-Saxon history with the influence of Bede, known as 'the father of English history', and his time at the monastery of St Paul at Jarrow. The later history of Tyne and Wear is one of industrial growth and innovative industrialists, involving the coal, rail, ship and the weapons industry. The county has its fair share of icons in the form of bridges or sculptures and has a strong identity based on the main cities of Newcastle and Sunderland, but at its heart are the two mighty rivers that are the lifeblood to its growth while creating a beautiful and stimulating place to explore. This book presents a different view of the North East and will enable you to uncover its vibrant and fascinating history.
