In Fatal Rivalry, George Goodwin, the best-selling author of Fatal Colours, captures the vibrant Renaissance splendor of the royal courts of England and Scotland, with their unprecedented wealth, innovation, and artistic expression. Five hundred years after this decisive battle, Fatal Rivalry combines original sources and modern scholarship to recreate the royal drama, the military might, and the world in transition that created this bitter conflict.

Fatal Colours includes a cast of strong and compelling characters: a warrior queen, a ruthless king-making earl, even a papal legate who excommunicates an entire army. And at its center is the first full explanation for the crippling incapacity of the enduringly childlike Henry VI - founder of Eton and King's College, Cambridge. With a substantive and sparkling introduction by David Starkey, Fatal Colours brings to life a vibrant and violent age.

The mountains of the American West held many treasures. Precious metals such as gold and silver was taken from the land and the streams by the miners. Animals who’s pelts were prized back East was taken from the forest and the streams by the fur trappers. Some men even found the beauty and solitude of the mountains to be their greatest treasure. This is the story of a man who found his to be what so many others had passed over in their search. His was the land itself.

The railroads could not keep up with the men who ventured farther and farther into the west. That meant the first cattle ranchers in these new lands had to push large herds of cattle for many miles to reach the nearest rail head. They crossed vast plains, arid deserts, and even mountains. All the while hunting for most of their food, crossing rivers and fighting bands of roving Indians, or gangs of bad white men. When a man ask if it had been a hard drive, you knew he had never been on one before or he would know the answer, they all were.
