The heart of every working farm and ranch, the barn is an icon of rural America. This book chronicles – and celebrates – all the main types, and looks at how these treasures of early American architecture developed. It explains how a wealth of immigrant construction methods and range of environments and climates resulted in a fascinating variety of barn styles in the United States, from the earliest rare Dutch examples to simpler English types and others in more surprising shapes (round or even polygonal) crafted by the Shakers in the 1800s. It highlights the most notable, famous and historic barns that the reader can visit, and features the efforts of conservation groups to preserve America's barns and find innovative ways to repurpose these glorious old structures as homes and studios – and as living monuments of rural heritage.

A New York fashion model falls for a handsome cowboy in this Americana romance set in New Mexico by the New York Times–bestselling author. Blessed with silvery blond hair, a show-stopping figure, and a creamy, flawless complexion, Diana enjoys a thriving career as a model in New York City. Still, in her heart, she longs only for the love of a good man and the simple joys of marriage and motherhood. At twenty-four, Diana has learned that most of the good men are intimidated by her looks, and she attracts only those whose egos need to be stroked by having a beautiful woman on their arm. But all of that is about to change when she travels out west for a photo shoot at a rodeo and meets New Mexico rancher Lije Masters. The desert afternoon is hot and still when a startled horse sends Diana literally falling into Lije’s strong arms. From afar, Diana had already noticed the cowboy’s rugged good looks; up close, she can feel his granite-colored eyes seeing past her exterior and straight into her soul. But is she willing to give up life in the big city for the Land of Enchantment?

Thousands of soldiers who fought at the Battle of Gettysburg for both the Army of the Potomac and the Army of Northern Virginia settled in Texas after the Civil War. Throughout the days, weeks, and years after the battle, these soldiers captured their stories in diary entries, letters, interviews, and newspaper articles. From the first crossing of the Potomac River to the intense fighting on July 1, July 2, and ultimately at Pickett’s Charge on July 3, these Texans of the Blue and the Gray played a key role in the Gettysburg Campaign. This collection of soldiers' accounts written during, and after, the war provides a unique perspective from Texans in the ranks over the course of those historic days in the summer of 1863. Also included are the stories of civilians who bore witness to the tremendous battle and who settled in Texas after the Civil War. Articles are transcribed as they were originally published; personal reminiscences are transcribed directly from letters and diaries. Collected for the first time in a single volume, this is essential reference for historians of the Lone Star State and Civil War researchers.
