PISTOLS AND PETTICOATS: 13 FEMALE TRAILBLAZERS OF THE OLD WEST contains thirteen chapters dealing with a multidimensional portrait of over two dozen women from the Old West. Why these particular women: First, these were exemplary women whose lives were then, and still are, uniquely interesting. In addition, these female trailblazers of the Old West are much like the women of today! They detail all you are and all you've been and their presence, like yours, has certainly been a piquant education and an exalted adventure. They followed, falked beside and sometimes led men into situations that the cowboys, gunfighters, farmers, cattlemen, gamblers, sheepherders, cavalrymen, and others would not have encountered if the women had not been there. For certainly their presence, like today, shaped and altered the outcome of every event wherein they participated. They adapted in practical ways to their own and their families' economic and personal needs in this new enviro! nment. They came bestowing and taking life; enduring, nourishing, and confirming life. They pointed the way where the communities could be erected and others came along and built them into what they are today. They absorbed both the intellect and creative emotion of pioneer life itself. It was these pioneering women, and the scores like them, that molded the West of today in all its opulent glory and noble splendor.

In format, it looks like & is laid out like a high school yearbook.... Every effort has been made to get photos of the individuals who were a part of this horror of WWII.... The story is here, as is the effort to memorialize the men & women who suffered there." (NM Book League - BOOK TALK). It is also a valuable genealogical source.

Code of the West

Much has been written about the U.S. Army Air Corps in World War II, but the contributions of each aircrew member to that effort have been largely neglected. Also, the importance of the unity of the crew has not been sufficiently emphasized. 
BLOODY SKIES is the story of a Fifteenth Air Force, Second Bomb Group (H), Twentieth Squadron, B-17 crew that often flew the notorious "Old Flak Holes," and how they learned to respect and trust each other. Training made them cohesive, crisis and tragedy bonded them. 
They arrived at Amendola, Italy, on the day their entire squadron, the Twentieth, and others of the Second Bomb Group, had been wiped out by the Luftwaffe. That legacy was their introduction to war. 
Through McGuuire and Hadley the reader will watch these enthusiastic, bright-eyed, cocky boys lose that brightness and confidence. when fatigue and weariness became so overpowering and seem to go deep into the bones, it is only their pride in themselves, their crew, and their country that keeps them returning to the skies to face another day of that dreaded flak and German fighters. There appeared to be no way to survive. 
In the midst of the horrors of aerial combat, they can still find humor living in the 'Amendola Ritz,' compassion for those innocent victims of every war--the children, marvel in the early morning song of a bird, and enjoy the historical sights of Rome. 
These ten men, from the economic, cultural, and geographic spectrum of 1940s America, were representative of the best their country had to offer. They vehemently deny any claim to hero status. The Soldier's Prayer was their credo: 
Let me fight well today, O Lord, 
Let me do nothing to bring shame or disgrace on my
family, my comrades, my unit, my country. 
Let me conduct myself in such a manner that there
is no dishonor. 
Let me not be wasted, but if I die, let me die like
a soldier should.
