Trouble at Temescal [sound recording] / by Bonham, Frank.(CARDINAL)723764; Duran, Armando.nrt; Blackstone Western.; TEI Landmark Audio.;
Read by Armando Duran.The first story, Trouble in Temescal, is set in Los Angeles in the days following the Mexican American War, and tells the tale of two entrepreneurial mustangers, Hank Ashwood and Red Wolfe, who have driven a herd of horses from New Mexico to California for resale. But their efforts to sell the animals to one of the Mexican hacendados, Dona Julia de la Torre, owner of Rancho Temescal, are hampered by a scabrous group of squatters led by Owen Pike, bent on claiming rights to her land, and who have the racially biased ownership laws at their backs.The second story, King of the Defiances, is the story of Big Jim Jackson, who intends to make a fortune by logging off the best railroad tie timber in Arizona, and his clash with former manhunter Troy Cameron, the leader of a group of small cattle ranchers who stand in Jackson's way. Jackson now holds notes on the ranchers' land and plans to foreclose if the notes aren't met on time. And he has a hired crew of gun hands ready to use force against anyone who resists.

The types of careers related to heavy equipment operation are incredibly wide-ranging, from the obvious, like construction equipment operator, to the not-so-obvious, like hand laborer. Careers in Heavy Equipment Operation, Maintenance & Repair offers insight into what it's like to work directly with heavy machines, as well as working in adjacent positions that help maintain and repair these crucial pieces of equipment...[This book] provides detailed and need-to-know information on various careers in the worlds of construction, infrastructure, and adjacent industries such as mining and oil and gas" -- Salem Press website.

A visit to Runion : a ghost town of Western North Carolina / by Plemmons, Jan C.,author.(CARDINAL)222228;
"A Visit to Runion A Ghost Town of Western North Carolina is a narrative and pictorial history of a sawmill village dating from the late 1800's until 1925. The coming of the railroad brought northern investors to the mountains to purchase timber and mining rights. Putnam was the first sawmill and logging operation established in this location but it went into bankruptcy and sat idle for five years. Harriet Betts (Arrow Shirt Factory) of Troy, NY purchased the mill, the railroad and additional acreage for the timber and founded the Laurel River Logging Company putting her son Anson Betts in charge. They doubled the size of the original mill, converted the mill to electric and expanded the railroad. They built a church/school, provided family housing for their employees that at one time numbered 1200 people and even had a baseball team that played their games on an island in the French Broad River. Southern Railroad put in sidings and built a depot and changed the original name of Putnam to Runion. After the flood of 1916 and WW I the mill went into decline and changed hands many times before closing in 1925. In 1991 the US Department of Agriculture Forest Service purchased the Runion site and it is listed in the Pisgah National Forest division as the Laurel River Trail, #310, a 3.6 mile hike." --Amazon.com
