Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

If a man is only as good as his word… then promises carve destinies. As the dust settles on the sun-drenched plains, Shawnee, a lone drifter with a past shrouded in mystery, rides into the heart of a battle that echoes with the thunder of hooves and the crack of gunfire. The Tell Ranch, a sprawling expanse of land that whispers tales of grit and glory, is at the center of a showdown between the indomitable Chrissie Tell and cunning attorney Jarrett Bremmer. In the wake of her father’s death, Chrissie discovers that the very essence of the ranch is slipping through her fingers as Bremmer tries to steal it out from under her before she reaches majority. In this swirling tempest of ambition and resilience, Shawnee emerges as a reluctant hero, drawn into a world where bullets speak louder than words. As the clash intensifies, loyalty hangs by a thread, and the boundary between justice and revenge blurs like the heat waves on the horizon. The Tell Ranch isn't just soil and stone. It's a battleground where corruption faces off against heritage, and greed stares down integrity. Shawnee's every move becomes a pivot point in this high-stakes duel, where survival isn't just a choice but a necessity in a lawless land. Amidst the tumbleweeds and echoing gunfire, Shawnee must walk a perilous line, where the fate of the ranch teeters on the edge. In a land where shadows dance with the setting sun, can Shawnee ride against the storm and save the Tell? The answer hangs in the dry, dust-laden wind sweeping across the frontier.

Stolen River

A Shawnee Adventure

By: Bob Giel

Justice demands a heavy toll... but a man of honor always pays up. Foy Banning's life changed forever when he witnessed his father, Jeremy, brutally murdered by his father’s business partner, Grael Rehnquist. Traumatized and sent east to live with his aunt and uncle, young Foy buried the memory deep within his mind. Now, ten years later and on his way to medical school in California, eighteen-year-old Foy stops in his old hometown of Bodeen to pay his respects at his father's grave. A chance encounter with his former governess, Meelee, stirs up old suspicions. Jeremy Banning’s death wasn’t an accident—it was cold-blooded murder. Determined to unearth the truth, Foy dives headfirst into his own investigation, one that puts him square in the sights of his father’s killer. Out of his depth and facing deadly threats, Foy crosses paths with Shawnee, a notorious outlaw with a strict code of honor. Moved by Foy's quest for justice, Shawnee takes the young man under his wing. Together, they navigate a treacherous landscape of hired guns, deceit, and the relentless pursuit of the law. In a land where justice is as elusive as a desert mirage, will Foy and Shawnee be able to peel back the layers of corruption and uncover the sinister secret about a dam project that Jeremy died for? Or will Rehnquist beat them to the punch, burying the secret of the stolen river along with them?

Shawnee

By: Bob Giel

They say revenge is a dish best served cold.... They better be right. Sixteen-year-old Lon Pearce is an orphan who has lost both his parents separately at the hands of the same man, local business owner Carl Teverence. Grief-stricken by their murders, he heads into town, half-cocked and ready to take his vengeance... only things don’t quite turn out the way he’d hoped. Teverence and his men see him coming a mile away. They turn the tables on him with ease, and Lon is lucky to escape with his life. Alone and hunted, Lon is forced to leave everything he knows and loves behind, even his name. Now known only as Shawnee, he journeys west across the plains on a long and lonely trail. He hasn’t forgotten the score he has to settle, but he needs to learn the skills to make it possible. He lends a hand to those he finds in need along the way—even when it forces him further outside the law. Will Shawnee find his way back home to deliver the justice he so desperately desires? Will he have learned enough to defeat Teverence and his men, or will he wind up in a shallow grave next to his parents? And even if he is successful, will he have enough integrity—enough of his soul remaining—to think of himself as a good man? An action-filled adventure of loss and revenge, Bob Giel’s Shawnee will have you on the edge of your seat until the very last page.

Pirate Gold: The 1960 Season

By: Bob Marchinetti

Pirate Gold: The 1960 Season is a day by day account of the 1960 Pittsburgh Pirates, who rose from a decade of futility to become the champions of major league baseball. After exceeding expectations to win the National League pennant, they found themselves matched in the World Series against the most prolific dynasty baseball had ever seen: the New York Yankees. Featuring stars like Mickey Mantle, Roger Maris, Yogi Berra and Whitey Ford, the Yankees were entering their tenth World Series in a twelve year span. The Yankees pummeled the Pirates in three games of the World Series by scores of 16-3, 12-0, and 10-0. But the determined Pirates, led by Vern Law, Roy Face, Roberto Clemente and Bill Mazeroski managed to win three close games to force a seventh game showdown for the championship. It was the seventh and decisive game, won in a manner unprecedented in the history of the World Series, that gave us the treasure of Pirate Gold.

Frantic Frank Lane

Baseball's Ultimate Wheeler-Dealer

By: Bob Vanderberg

The book follows the colorful career of Frank Lane, who as baseball's busiest general manager during the 1950s made the deals that turned the Chicago White Sox, St. Louis Cardinals and Cleveland Indians from losers into pennant contenders almost overnight. He also worked--or tried to--as general manager of the Kansas City A's (Lane lasted eight months in 1961 under first-year owner Charlie Finley) and for the Milwaukee Brewers, where his boss was Bud Selig. He is best known for having traded 1959 American League home run champion Rocky Colavito to Detroit for the AL's 1959 batting champ, Harvey Kuenn, and for trading Indians manager Joe Gordon to Detroit for Tigers manager Jimmy Dykes. During his brief absence from baseball (1962-1964), he signed on as general manager of the National Basketball Association's second-year expansion team, the Chicago Zephyrs. He became a "superscout" for the Baltimore Orioles for several years and, after leaving Milwaukee, had the same job with the Texas Rangers and, finally, the California Angels. He completed well over 500 major- and minor-league transactions in his career. Joe Garagiola put it best: "They used to say that the toughest job on any club Frank Lane was running belonged to the guy who had to take the team picture.

Once Upon a Fastball

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Once Upon a Fastball

By: Bob Mitchell

Your legacy is in the Attic. The words leap from the cryptic poem left for Harvard professor Seth Stein by his Papa Sol, the doting grandfather who vanished without a trace two years earlier. It was Papa Sol who instilled an unquenchable passion for baseball in Seth's soul; it was Sol who also ignited Seth's obsession with history, spinning fabulous tales of times and people long gone. Seth is still searching for answers to Papa Sol's disappearance when the poem leads him to a scuffed, yellowed baseball resting in a box handmade by his grandfather. A single touch of the rough leather thrusts Seth through the swirling vortex of history onto the streets of 1950s Brooklyn, and then to the greatest baseball game ever played, the Bobby Thomson "Shot Heard 'Round the World" play-off classic. In this surreal, sepia-toned site of past glory, Seth begins a wondrous, life-changing odyssey to find the answers he so desperately seeks. Suspenseful, thought-provoking, funny, and poignant, this beautifully crafted novel is a joyous tribute to our inspiring and timeless national pastime, and a rare treasure for all those who love baseball. "Back . . . back . . . back . . . back. Yes, this novel is a home run." --Chris Berman "Bob Mitchell writes like a crafty veteran with a lot of pitches . . . he mixes baseball, history, and family to show us how sports connects. Enjoy." --Dan Shaughnessy "An endearing tale of love and loyalty . . . this delightful romp is a love letter to a time gone by." --T. Jefferson Parker "Once Upon a Fastball celebrates things Mitchell and I both love: history, poetry, baseball, family traditions, and noble values. No wonder I liked it immensely." --Fay Vincent
