The Swan name is inseparable from the history of Wyoming and the West, and when Swan made his mark in Wyoming in the 1880s, ranching was king. The largest among Alex Swan’s many corporate creations, The Swan Land and Cattle Company, Ltd., was one of the larger livestock companies to operate in the American West, and it survived long after it founder’s financial debacle in the great winter of 1886-1887. At one time, the Swan was said to be the largest private landowner in Wyoming, and at its peak it was certainly one of the largest sheep companies in the country. This new work for the first time relates the life of Alex Swan, and offers a complete history of the Swan companies. Lawrence M. Woods has combed the surviving corporate records and other documents held in the United States and abroad. At the height of his financial life, Swan was said to be the richest man in Wyoming Territory, and his influence extended beyond business affairs to community service, both in Wyoming and in Iowa. Yet, after his dramatic financial collapse, there were many who ridiculed what he had done, and Swan’s silence has left those criticisms on the record, without rebuttal. Swan, a leader in the Wyoming Stock Growers Association from its founding in 1873, served as its second president. Promoting the use of Hereford cattle on the high plains, he was a force in the Wyoming ranching world, especially after his move to Cheyenne in 1874. Woods details Swan’s life in the years after his separation from the Scottish-controlled Swan Land and Cattle Company, especially his activities in Ogden, Utah. The Swan companies continued operation into the mid-twentieth century. John Clay played a major role in their operation, and he figures prominently in their story. Alex Swan and the Swan Companies is an important portrait of the inner workings of the western cattle industry and its leaders. The book has a bibliography, index, and three appendices. It is bound in rich brown linen cloth and has a foil stamped spine and front cover. Western Lands and Waters Series, XXII

A ruthless act of sabotage with no regard for collateral damage!h2/> It's the mid-1960s, and the Cold War is hotting up. Dubbed by the press as the Silver Angel, the BR-101 Rapier, is the latest warplane prototype being produced for the Royal Air Force by Brinton Aviation, one of the many companies leading the world in aircraft engineering and design. Controversy is already surrounding the project, as overrunning development costs and competition from an American rival are causing the new recently-elected British government to consider cancelling the Rapier. At the plant, a young aircraft designer working on the Rapier has been killed under suspicious circumstances, and his fiancée wants answers. She travels to London to visit Alex Swan, former intelligence officer with MI5, now a troubleshooter for the Ministry of Defence. With him is his colleague Arthur Gable, a recently retired Scotland Yard detective. Swan takes up an investigation learning that an US backed company are at the plant working on a new reconnaissance drone, called the Python Hawk. Heading up the company is Frank Maitland, and his staff are being watched over by armed US Marines. Further incidents occur centred around the Rapier. The second prototype soon to have its first flight is suddenly involved in a transport accident on the way to the test airfield and key personnel are being mysteriously shadowed. At first, Swan and Gable are puzzled, but later, suspect there could be a possible sabotage plot - a plot which they will soon discover is linked to a secret society dating back to George Washington and the Revolutionary War. On their agenda, is murder, espionage and a plan to create a catastrophic blow to the British aviation industry. Moving in the slipstream of the classic fast-paced spy adventures of Alistair Maclean, Jack Higgins and Craig Thomas, Wings of Death, introduces Ministry of Defence special investigator, Alex Swan, and will have readers strapped tightly to their ejector seats for a thrilling flight of Cold War fiction.h2/> Praise for Wings of Death-'Filled with intrigue and suspense.'-Tom Kasey.h2/>
