Where do strong women those women who are forbidden to display their tears and their weaknesses go to find rest? Whose shoulder, besides God's, do we cry on if our shoulder pads are drenched from the tears of others, and our bodies are limp from carrying the weight and the burdens of another? The Cry of a Woman! is like no other cry on the face of the earth. It's a covenant cry to God when we have reached the end of our rope and have considered suicide when the rainbow was enough. If you're tired of the status quo and tired of livin' in hell waitin' to go to heaven, then learn how to get into the secret place of the Most High and cry out to God. In this life-changing book of poetry and words of wisdom, Dr. Djuna "Stormy" Watkins will lead you to the pathway to find rest and strength for your weary souls. She will help you discover the answers to the hidden issues of the heart, as you unravel the maze to the secret places of your lost miracles, declaring with the force of your faith, "I want...them...back!" You are not weak, frail, and timid. You are a woman of war! Therefore, get into your battle position of prayer and praise, and pull down every satanic stronghold in your life. The weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds (2 Corinthians 10:4). Besides, it ain't over until God says it's over. You're not having a breakdown; you're having a breakthrough! So gird up your loins and come out of the closet of self-pity. God needs you! The world needs you! You are stronger, more capable, and more equipped than you think. You are even "badder" than your enemy thinks. God is getting ready to unveil you before the world as His very own masterpiece.

The definitive biography of infamous western outlaw Harvey Alexander Logan, better known as Kid Curry. A violent conflict with a ranching neighbor in Montana caused him to flee to the Hole-in-the-Wall valley in Wyoming, where he became involved in rustling and eventually graduated to bank and train robbing as a member of the Wild Bunch. This outlaw group was a melding of the best of the Hole-in-the-Wall gang and Butch Cassidy's Powder Springs gang. Smokov shows that Curry was not the bloodthirsty killer that many have claimed. He contends that Curry was the actual train robbing leader of the Wild Bunch.

Billy the Kid: A Reader’s Guide introduces readers to the most significant of these written and filmed works.

Surveying newspaper articles, books, pamphlets, essays, and book chapters, Richard W. Etulain traces the shifting views of Billy the Kid from his own era to the present.

A brief section on the authentic and supposed photographs of the Kid demonstrates the difficulties specialists and collectors have encountered in locating dependable photographic sources. This discerning overview will guide readers through the plethora of words and images generated by Billy the Kid’s life and legend over more than a century. It will prove invaluable to those interested in the demigods of the Old West—and in the ever-changing cultural landscape in which they appear to us.
