SUMMARY This is a western love story. It is the tale of a man named Jake who, defeated and disillusioned by the horrors of the War Between the States, heads west with his brother to create a better life. However, his refusal to back down from confrontation, which served him well in war, leads to a life of violence. Through his skill with firearms and the quickness of his reflexes, he acquires a reputation as a dangerous foe. When a writer publishes a fictitious account of his exploits, everyone sees a cold-bloodied killer and no one, except his brother, sees a man of honor trying to come to terms with what he has done and who he is. Only through the love of a woman and her understanding of the demons that drive him does he begin to put his life back together again and find, among the constant battles for survival, a life worth living.

"Local desert dwellers call her La Loca Santa, the holy crazy one, who lives with a padre's ghost. Riding out of the broiling foothills, a gunman releases horrors that for the past seven years were locked in a chamber of oblivion in Dominica's mind. She intuitively knows he is linked to the secrets the mountain holds and has come to take her away. He does, into Apacheria, where both their unexpected destinies lie ahead of them. Cry of a Cactus Wren is a novel of suspense, mystery, adventure, and romance set against the historical backdrop of territorial New Mexico, leaning on the paranormal as Hispanic Southwest and Native American legends do"--

"In Old San Antone, a storm foretold the arrival of a Texas Ranger... The winds of fate foretold of a bond of brotherhood that would last a lifetime... And a loathsome funeral bell foretold the last heartbeat of a Gunfighter's Requiem." What makes a man keep on fighting when his back is against the wall and the odds are stacked against him so high that there's little chance for success, and death seems certain? "The Code"... That's what makes a man like Texas Ranger Captain Hondo Stone never quit, never surrender, and keep on fighting to his last dying breath... And what code was that, you might ask? "The Code of Honor" of a man, that had been nearly all but forgotten in this bleak lawless era, except to a few men who still lived by its set of unwritten rules. Rules that were ingrained in "The Code", where a man kept his word. Where loyalty, trust, and friendship were bonds that could not be broken. Where a man finished what he set out to do, even if it cost him his life. And where courage and valor were not just words written in poetry books; but were the morals and foundations by which a man lived by, and when need be, died by. This was "The Code" that Hondo Stone lived by each and every day. This was "The Code" that Hondo was willing to die for, whenever the time and need would arise. And this was "The Code" that led him to a "Gunfighter's Requiem"... This is the continuing story of Texas Ranger Captain Hondo Stone, who came to bring justice to Old San Antone, and his best friend the gunfighting gambler Kid Carter, who tempted the winds of fate and befriended Hondo, becoming his sworn blood-brother and ally in a war against a powerful criminal organization known as the Jenkins Faction... Picking up right where "Old San Antone: Dawn of the Legend" left off, "Gunfighter's Requiem" is the exciting and much-anticipated continuation of the story, and it pulls no punches as it shows the truth about the Wild West in a stark reality that reveals all the good and bad with equal blunt honesty, gritty realism, action-packed excitement, intense suspenseful drama, and even moments of endearing romance and jovial good-natured humor. Teeming with meticulous details of historical-accuracy and filled with unique intriguing characters and a powerful storyline, Gunfighter's Requiem is certain to entertain and delight, and leave you captivated. But more than all that, it will also enlighten you to the true definition of what Honor, Courage, Valor, Friendship, True Love and Romance really are, as you get to know two heroic men who will stay within your heart and mind, forever. Everybody needs someone to believe in... Believing in the greatness of someone else inspires the greatness within us all to come forth. That's why the world so desperately needs heroes; because by believing in heroes, it brings out the heroes in ourselves. Heroism makes people strive to be heroic as well, and it inspires them to be something greater than themselves. Such is the stuff that heroes are made of: heroes like Captain Hondo Stone... For while there might not have been any shining armor in the old west, there were knights back in those days... Even if they were black knights... And one of those knights was Captain Hondo Stone... What you have to ask yourself is do you have what it takes to believe in heroes again and follow Hondo Stone as he takes a walk down the streets of Old San Antone during a Gunfighter's Requiem? Because if you want to see the truth of what really made the old west wild, and be inspired by a hero who will make you want to believe in something greater than yourself, then all you have to do is read, "Gunfighter's Requiem".

This work features interviews with 51 leading ladies who starred in B-westerns, A-westerns, and television westerns. Some were well-known and others were not, but they all have fascinating stories to tell and they talk candidly about their careers and the many difficulties that went along with their jobs. Back then, conditions were often severe, locations were often harsh, and pay was often minimal. The actresses were sometimes the only females on location and they had to provide their own wardrobe and do their own make-up, as well as discourage the advances of over-affectionate co-stars. Despite these difficulties, most of the women interviewed for this agree that they had fun. Claudia Barrett, Virginia Carroll, Francis Dee, Lisa Gaye, Marie Harmon, Kathleen Hughes, Linda Johnson, Ruta Lee, Colleen Miller, Gigi Perreau, Ann Rutherford, Ruth Terry, and June Vincent are among the 51 actresses interviewed.

First published in 1998, music scored for film has only relatively recently received the critical attention which it merits. Many composers in the twentieth century have written works for films or documentaries, a number feeling that this aspect of their output has been undervalued. This dictionary complements other studies which have appeared in recent years which look at the technical and theoretical issues concerned with film music composition. Arranged alphabetically by composer, the volume comprises over 500 entries covering all nationalities. Each entry includes very brief biographical information on the composer, followed by a list of the films (with dates) for which he or she has composed. Details of recordings are also given. The dictionary’s international coverage ensures that it will become a standard reference work for all those interested in the history of twentieth-century music and the development of film.

Dan Duryea (1907–1968) made a vivid impression on moviegoers with his first major screen appearance as the conniving Leo Hubbard in 1941's classic melodrama The Little Foxes. His subsequent film and television career would span from 1941 until his death. Duryea remains best known for the nasty, scheming villains he portrayed in such noir masterpieces as Scarlet Street, Criss Cross, and The Woman in the Window. In each of these, he wielded a blend of menace, sleaze, confidence, and surface charm. This winning combination led him to stardom and garnered him the adoration of female fans, even though Duryea's onscreen brutality so often targeted female characters. Yet this biography's close examination of Duryea's oeuvre finds him excelling in various roles in many genres—war films, westerns, crime dramas, and even the occasional comedy. Dan Duryea: Heel with a Heart is a full-scale, comprehensive biography that examines the tension between Duryea's villainous screen image and his Samaritan personal life. At home, he proved to be one of Hollywood's most honorable and decent men. Duryea remained married to the former Helen Bryan from 1931 until her death in 1967. A dedicated family man, he and Helen took an active role in raising their children and in the community. In his career, Duryea knew villainous roles were what the public wanted—there would be a public backlash if fans read an article depicting what a decent guy he was. Frustrated that he couldn't completely shake his screen image and public persona, he wrestled with this restriction throughout his career. Producers and the public did not care to follow any new directions he hoped to pursue. This book, written with Duryea's surviving son Richard's cooperation, fully explores the life and legacy of a Hollywood icon ready for rediscovery.
