Johnny Nelson

This book is about Hopalong Cassidy and Johnny Nelson, two fun-loving, hard-fighting cowboys from the legendary Bar-20 ranch. In this classic saga of western adventure by Clarence E. Mulford, they are back and ready for new adventures. Johnny Nelson, the protégé of Hopalong Cassidy, goes roaming the West in search of adventure. Yet, when he comes to the aid of a rancher and his daughter near the town of Gunsight, he gets more than he bargained for: a land war and a chance at love.

John Nelson was an entrepreneur born in the mid-seventeenth century--a man, in Richard Johnson's words, "operating ahead of the government and settled society from which he came," who "responded to conventions and conditions derived from several different and often competing cultures." For Nelson, this meant trading out of Boston to the French and Indians of Canada, pursuing his family's dreams of the proprietorship of Nova Scotia, and promoting schemes of espionage and military conquest on both sides of the Atlantic. In the course of a long and adventurous life, Nelson served as middleman between Canada and New England; led an uprising that toppled the royal government of Massachusetts in 1689; and passed years in French prisons, including the Bastille, and then at court in London as a player in the complex European diplomacy of the time. Nelson's career reveals in bold colors the political and economic pressures exerted upon colonial America by the expansion and bitter conflict of European empires--he himself complained of being "crusht between the two Crownes." Yet it also shows how one man fashioned a life as "spy, speculator, multinational merchant, memorialist, politician, prisoner, parent, friend, and gentleman." Gracefully written and widely researched, the book is both a fine example of the new Atlantic history and a vivid recounting of the fortunes of an exceptional individual.

The Man From Bar-20 When Hoppy's friend, Johnny Nelson, left Bar-20 searching for even greater adventure and joined the CL Ranch, he found more than he expected. He found a hidden valley between Twin Buttes with over 200 of CL cattle rebranded QE. He found a gang of rustlers out to steal the rest of CL's beef. He found the country's fastest gunfighter looking to cut him down. What he should have found was a fast way out of that valley. But Hoppy never told him how to turn tail and run.

The second-largest reservation in the country, comprised of almost 2 million acres, it is home to 38,000 residents, almost 18,000 of whom are enrolled members of the Oglala Sioux Tribe. The history of the Pine Ridge Reservation is laden with both an awe-inspiring cultural heritage and the tragic effects of forced settlement on the reservation.
