Frontier Reflections

Author Peter Seibert spent years of his life fostering the history and culture of Western landmarks and in this collection of historical vignettes, he explores fascinating people and moments that crafted a Western consciousness. Legendary craftswomen Maria Martinez, Nampeyo, and Elle of Ganado forever changed Native American artistry. Merchant George Henderson’s account book for his 1904 ranch house provides a rare glimpse into the origins of an iconic American home design, as Seibert overviews home styles from the adobe to pueblo revival. Whether you like red, green, or Christmas chiles on your cheeseburger, all options are appropriate to accompany an endless variety of Western movies from Blazing Saddles to The Hateful Eight. The West is where land and prosperity have lurked behind every cactus and it continues to represent the undiscovered country of the future. Peter Seibert reveals a place always on the horizon but never quite attainable.

Quotes from America's Iconic Labor Leader and Socialist

This elegant pocket-sized hardcover gift book, part of Applewood's Quotations of Great Americans series, contains nearly one hundred quotes from American labor leader, five-time presidential candidate, and socialist, Eugene V. Debs.

"The issue is Socialism versus Capitalism. I am for Socialism because I am for humanity. We have been cursed with the reign of gold long enough. Money constitutes no proper basis of civilization. The time has come to regenerate society — we are on the eve of universal change."

-Eugene V. Debs, “Open letter to the American Railway Union,” Chicago Railway Times, January 1, 1897
