Faithful Shep

The Story of a Hero Dog and the Nine Texas Rangers Who Saved Him

By: Don DeNevi

In a column in the El Paso Herald dated February 3, 1900, George Wythe Baylor, retired captain of Company C, Frontier Battalion, Texas Rangers, wrote of a curious incident that occurred in January 1880: two travelers had their horses stolen by a band of Chief Victorio’s renegades a hundred miles east of El Paso. In the dead of a rainy and cold West Texas winter, the two men walked all the way back to beg the Rangers to return to the scene with them and rescue their dog, Shep, a black German Shepherd whom they had left alone in the desert to stand watch over their property. From this odd footnote in history, Don DeNevi, author of more than thirty published titles, has imagined a gripping tale of heroism, sacrifice, and fidelity that celebrates the best in human nature—and canine nature, as well. Faithful Shep: The Story of a Hero Dog and the Nine Texas Rangers Who Saved Him is a novel based on true events from the Texas frontier: a time when the young town of El Paso eagerly awaited the coming of the railroads and when the bold and desperate Victorio threatened both sides of the Rio Grande in open defiance of the US Army, the Texas Rangers, and the Mexican territorial militia. This is the story of a dog named Shep, the two men who loved him, the nine Texas Rangers who rode into danger to save him—and the surprising way in which Shep returned the favor.

Analyzing Criminal Minds

Forensic Investigative Science for the 21st Century

By: Don Jacobs

An insightful book presenting cutting-edge information on the newest, most remarkable forensic science and methods used for understanding the criminal mind. Analyzing Criminal Minds: Forensic Investigative Science for the 21st Century explores new and emerging approaches to a perennially fascinating subject. Author Don Jacobs looks at 10 tools and products that have revolutionized the discipline, explaining how modern criminal mind analysis incorporates advances in criminal and forensic psychology, forensic neuropsychology, brain imaging, adolescent neurobiology, criminal profiling, and brain fingerprinting, as well as research into the paralimbic brain system and the impact of the "DANE" brain upon adolescent and young adult behavior. Twenty-three characteristics shared by jailed violent criminals are analyzed and considered in terms of neuropsychology and developmental psychology. The book also probes psychopathy in its various degrees, in children, adolescents, and adults, and explains a controversial but increasingly accepted theory that psychopathy is a "natural" outgrowth of evolution, describing how this "natural" psychopathy can become a condition typified by violent, sadistic, and irreversible personality disorder.

Hard Time

The Life of an Incorrigible on Alcatraz

By: Charlie Hopkins

HARD TIME: THE LIFE OF AN INCORRIGIBLE ON ALCATRAZ The true story of Charlie Hopkins #1186 one of the last surviving inmates of Alcatraz Penitentiary. "My friend and fellow alumni Charlie Hopkins and I both graduated from America's Top Crime School- Charlie was a better student than I- He's still free!" -James "Whitey" Bulger, #1428 AZ What if one could travel back in time and interview one of the 1500 or so hardened criminals that had served time at Alcatraz Penitentiary before it was permanently closed in 1963? Even if one could do such an impossible thing, what exactly would one ask a man who had rubbed shoulders with some of the most notorious gangsters, murderers, and thieves of the 1930s, 40s, and 50s? How would the conversation go when speaking to a close friend of "Creepy" Al Karpis, the "Birdman of Alcatraz" Robert Stroud, and Whitey Bulger. Now, thanks to author Don DeNevi, for the first time one does not need a time machine to recapture the first hand eyewitness accounts of one man's life on Alcatraz. Alcatraz inmate #1186 was Charles Edward Hopkins and Mr. Hopkins was no ordinary inmate. Not only did he serve time with the Anglin brothers who made the only successful escape from Alcatraz but he was well acquainted with notorious crime boss "Bumpy" Johnson and the legendary Italian mafia boss Vito Genevese and many other infamous Alcatraz inmates. Early in his prison career Charlie was clinically pronounced "psychotic" and "incorrigible" and was sent to Alcatraz. After serving his time, Hopkins disappeared into history before re-emerging in recent years as the pen pal of notorious Boston gangster James "Whitey" Bulger. Never before has Charlie's full story been captured and shared with the public. This is his true story as told in 1999 to author Don DeNevi and recently reviewed by him to ensure maximum historical accuracy. Mr. Hopkins is still alive and is approaching 88 years old and is estimated to be one of the last 5 or 6 remaining inmates that served Hard Time in Alcatraz before its closing in 1963. No matter what you have read or think you know about Alcatraz, you may be certain of one thing, you have never heard a story like this.

Ol' Shep: Book 10: The Gunfight for Yosemite Valley

By: Don DeNevi

He had been there alone for fifteen days. His side of bacon was eaten, and the sack of corn getting very low. The Rangers were as much delighted as if it had been a human being they had rescued.

Shep had held the fort...." -George Wythe Baylor, Captain (Ret.), Company C, Frontier Battalion, El Paso Herald, February 3, 1900 Faithful Shep is a fictional account of a loyal dog rescued by nine Texas Rangers, based on a fascinating true story from the history of America's west.

Shep in the Victorio War

By: Don DeNevi

During the summer of 1880, amid the searing heat of the Chihuahuan Desert of West Texas and northern Mexico, Chief Victorio led his band of Mescalero and Warm Springs Apaches in a last, desperate exodus from a disease-ridden, barren reservation. Raiding cattle and horses to survive, Victorio and his people eluded pursuers on both sides of the Rio Grande, as the US Army, the Texas Rangers, and the Mexican territorial militia combined forces to ferret out and eliminate the fugitive Apaches. Into the midst of the authentic historical backdrop of what became known as the Victorio War, author Don DeNevi places Shep, a black German Shepherd rescued and loved by Joseph Andrews and William Wiswall, two adventurers from the Colorado mining country. Shep forms an inexplicable bond with the Apache chief that leads Wiswall and Andrews into an unexpected and uncomfortable role. The imagined events of Shep in the Victorio War follow immediately upon those portrayed in DeNevi's earlier novel, Faithful Shep: The Story of a Hero Dog and the Nine Texas Rangers Who Saved Him. DeNevi's blend of meticulous historical research and rip-roaring adventure make this story of "the last Indian fight in Texas" a must-read for fans of Old West fiction, the Texas Rangers, the cavalry, and frontier history.
