A Bride Goes West
University of Nebraska Press Lincoln and London: 1969. Softcover. Brand new book. A Bride Goes West is new and fresh because it is impregnated with a just sense of values about life. When Nannie Tiffany of West Virginia married Walt Alderson who'd already been on the cattle trail for years in 1882 they went to Montana to start a little ranch. There's plenty about ranching in this book but what is most valuable is about life about people in this ranch country. Helena Huntington Smith is the author of The War on Powder River also a Bison Book. "A charming vignette of ranching life in Montana during the mid-1880s."�Choice "Among hundreds of books written by and about range men there are hardly a dozen valid ones concerning women. I pick A Bride Goes West and Agnes Morley Cleaveland's No Life for a Lady also a Bison Book as the two best books pertaining to ranch life by women with a woman's point of view dominating."�J.

LIEBLING A. J.; STEINBERG SAUL DRAWINGS
Chicago: The Second City
University of Nebraska Press Lincoln: 2004. Softcover. Brand new book. Many Chicagoans rose in protest over A. J. Liebling's tongue-in-cheek tour of their fair city in 1952. Liebling found much to admire in the Windy City's people and culture�its colorful language its political sophistication its sense of its own history and specialness but Liebling offended that city's image of itself when he discussed its entertainments its built landscapes and its mental isolation from the world's affairs. Liebling a writer and editor for the New Yorker lived in Chicago for nearly a year. While he found a home among its colorful inhabitants he couldn't help comparing Chicago with some other cities he had seen and loved notably Paris London and especially New York. His magazine columns brought down on him a storm of protests and denials from Chicago's defenders and he gently and humorously answers their charges and acknowledges his errors in a foreword written especially for the book edition. Liebling describes the restaurants saloons and striptease joints; the newspapers cocktail parties and political wards; the university; and the defining event in Chicago's mythic past the Saint Valentine's Day Massacre. Illustrated by Steinberg Chicago is a loving if chiding portrait of a great American metropolis. A. J. Liebling 1904-63 was a longtime contributor and columnist for the New Yorker. He wrote The Sweet Science and nineteen other books of nonfiction including Mollie and Other War Pieces also available in a Bison Books edition. Saul Steinberg was a cartoonist and illustrator best known for his covers and illustrations in the New Yorker. "Alex Kotlowitz's Never a City So Real has a different style and tone from A. J. Liebling's 1952 tongue-in-cheek book about Chicago but they belong on the same elevated bookshelf of Chicago classics. The series in The New Yorker that this book is based on elicited a slew of protests from Chicagoans which Liebling answers in this witty volume."�Elizabeth Taylor The Chicago Tribune "Good entertainment. The book is attractively designed the illustrations are first-rate and Mr. Liebling can write."�New York Times "Mr. Liebling's entertaining book can be highly recommended."�New York Herald Tribune "He has shown his readers in his lively sardonic style exactly the split-personality city that he feels Chicago to be."�San Francisco Chronicle ISBN: 0803280351.
