Was life on the range in the 1880s and 1890s anything like the hard riding, hard working, hard drinking shoot 'em up images that moviegoers saw in old Westerns? Yes-and then some, the authentic documents in this collection tell us. Cowboys, sheepherders, ranchers and all those around them in Territorial New Mexico were engaged in constant life-and-death struggles. They battled with each other and with Indians. They endured blizzards, fires, drought, floods, disease and stampeding cattle. In one account, on the morning after Comanche Indians stole all their cattle, James Chisum told his daughter, "Cheer up, Sallie, the worst is yet to come." Also included in this collection are reports of cooperation and glimpses of daily happiness: the simple pleasure of riding the range; camaraderie during roundups; hot meals dished out from the chuck wagon; cow camp entertainments; trips to town for fandangos; a sheepherder resting beneath the constellations and his breakfast of "burra iates." There are also high-spirited narratives describing the taming of a good steer, adventures along the cattle trails, the retrieval of mavericks and the roundup of mustangs. If the stories in this collection seem familiar, they are also surprisingly fresh. Luckily for the rest of us, field workers in the Federal Writers' Project (a branch of the government-funded Works Progress Administration, or WPA, later called the Work Projects Administration), loved to listen and record as much as their subjects liked to talk. The resulting stories from 1935 to 1939 are rich in detail and human spirit. This collection also includes local newspaper articles, reports from New Mexico governors on the state of the livestock industry, cowboy poems, square dance calls, descriptions and drawings of cattle brands, glossaries of cowboy terms and the names of ranches in Colfax County. "Cowboys, Ranching & Cattle Trails" is the fifth volume in the New Mexico Federal Writers' Project book series. Previous titles are "Outlaws & Desperados," "Frontier Stories," "Lost Treasures & Old Mines" and "Stories from Hispano New Mexico." ANN LACY, an artist and researcher/writer, has lived in New Mexico since 1979. She works on projects related to New Mexico history, culture and environment issues. She is the recipient of a City of Santa Fe Heritage Preservation Award. ANNE VALLEY-FOX, writer, poet and researcher, is co-editor of the New Mexico Federal Writers' Project Book series. Her fourth volume of poetry is "How Shadows Are Bundled."

OMG!!! This Paper Is Amazing
Size: 1 Ream | 500 Sheets, Style: Letter (8.5x11)
Omg!!! This is seriously the best printer paper I’ve ever used. I honestly didn’t think paper could make that much of a difference until I tried this one. The quality feels so much better and thicker compared to regular cheap printer paper, and everything I print comes out super sharp and clean. Colors look brighter, text looks crisp, and the pages feel more premium. This paper is super clean bright white with a premium quality weight that immediately feels higher-end when you touch it. It makes documents, photos, and color prints look much more professional. I’ve used it for regular printing, important documents, and color prints, and my printer handles it perfectly without jams. It also doesn’t feel flimsy or thin when holding the paper. You can definitely tell this is higher quality paper right away. Now I don’t even want to go back to regular printer paper anymore lol. Definitely worth buying if you print a lot and want your documents to actually look nice.

Exceptional Quality for Professional Presentations
Size: 1 Ream | 500 Sheets, Style: Letter (8.5x11)
I recently purchased the Hammermill Premium Color 32 lb Copy Paper for a series of important presentations, and I am thoroughly impressed with its performance. This paper has elevated the quality of my work, making it stand out with its professional finish. Superior Brightness and Smoothness The 100 brightness rating ensures that colors pop and text is crisp, providing excellent contrast for both color and black-and-white prints. The ultra-smooth finish allows for superior toner adhesion, resulting in vibrant and sharp images without any smudging or bleeding. Heavyweight Durability At 32 lb, this paper offers a substantial feel, giving documents a premium weight that is noticeable. It holds up well during handling and conveys a sense of quality that lighter papers simply can't match. Reliable Performance I've used this paper in both laser and inkjet printers, and it has performed flawlessly in both. The 99.99% jam-free guarantee holds true; I have not experienced any jams or issues during printing, even with high-volume tasks. Eco-Friendly Choice Made in the USA and FSC certified, this paper is produced from responsibly managed forests, aligning with environmentally conscious practices. Conclusion For anyone seeking a high-quality paper that enhances the presentation of their work, the Hammermill Premium Color 32 lb Copy Paper is an excellent choice. Its brightness, smoothness, and durability make it ideal for presentations, proposals, and marketing materials. I highly recommend it for both professional and personal use.

My go-to paper for my Junk Journaling printing
Size: 1 Ream | 500 Sheets, Style: Letter (8.5x11)
This is my go-to paper for printing out my junk journal printables. Unfortunately, my HP Smart Tank 7600r doesn't handle cardstark gracefully but this paper is a very good substitute. The ink pops nicely giving the amazing images a quality ground they deserve.
