This book shows the deep roots between the Oregon desert, surrounding communities and British Columbia.It was in the mid 1800�s that the Colonial Government was beginning to form in British Columbia. Cattlemen from South of the border were very much encouraged to trail their cattle herds to the province and further north to the gold fields. The few herds of local stock that arrived,were rapidly dwindling as miners moved north in search of the yellow gold. Over twenty five thousand miners crossed the Canadian border and arrived in the Cariboo in two short years. Behind the gold miners, came the pioneer family�s, all eager to carve a living out of the province. Small cattle drives were formed from as far south as Burns, Baker, Bend, the Oregon Desert and Nevada.

Kind has fashioned a tribute to the horse�s contribution to the development of British Columbia and its role in military campaigns with his sixth self-published title, Buckaroos and Broncs ($35.00 plus shipping.) �The book is basically a tribute to the horse in general,� says Kind. �It moves through freighting, pack horse, transportation (BX.Stage lines) and road building, as well as the purchase of thousands of horses by the British from Canada/USA to fight their battles in the 1800s and early 1900s. I have also included the actual schooling of the horse and methods needed to make a well disciplined, finished horse.� Paintings of battles are featured, and early B.C. photos from the Clinton Historical society.

"She's downhill and in the shade" is a biography starting at the mighty Gang Ranch in B.C. then on into the sport of Rodeo in B.C, Alberta and the cowboys of Pendleton, Oregon. The book moves North to the �Muskwa� and �Spatzizi� Rivers and on into Big Game hunting. The stories are quite good and all first hand experiences. I have put a lot of humor in the first book.
