<div><br><b>The Chateau de Sedan is a castle situated in Sedan, France,</b> on a headland on the border of Meuse, flanked by the rivers Biavre and Vra, in the Ardennes departement of France. It is a grand fortress of medieval European stock, covering an area of 35,000 m2 in its seven floors.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>Around 1424, Avrard de la Marck built a manor with two twin towers around a church over a period of six years.</b> When Evrard died in 1440, his son Jean de la Marck began reinforcing the fortress, but it was Robert II de la Marck, the grandson of Jean, who finished the most important work. </div><br/>

<div><br><b>The chateau du Hautanigsbourg is located at Orschwiller, Alsace, France, in the Vosges mountains just west of Salestat.</b> The castle is nestled at a strategic location on a high hill overlooking the Alsatian plain; as a result it was used by successive powers from the Middle Ages until the Thirty Years' War when it was abandoned. In 1900 it was restored under the direction of Emperor Wilhelm II. </div><br/>

<div><br><b>The first explicit mention that is known was in 1147.</b> It took its name from the original Kanigsburg (German, "King's Castle") in 1192. In the early thirteenth century the castle passed from the Hohenstaufen family to the Dukes of Lorraine who entrusted it to the Ratsamhausen family who held the castle until the fifteenth century.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>The Chateau de Hattonchatel is a chateau in Vigneulles Hattonchatel in the Meuse department, France.</b></div><br/>

<div><br><b>The chateau was built during the 9th century by Hatto, Bishop of Verdun,</b> whose name it bears, on a rocky promontory overlooking the Seine Valley. The settlement became the chief stronghold of the bishops and also the location of their mint until 1546. In 1636 the retreating Swedes besieged and burnt most of the town.</div><br/></div><br/>


<div><br><b>The American Lady Belle Skinner from Holyoke, Massachusetts. ( as the French say )</b>After graduating from Vassar in 1887, Belle Skinner spent a year in France where she fell in love with the village of Hattonchatel because it reminded her of the idyllic Connecticut Valley near her home in Holyoke, Massachusetts. "During the dark days of 1918, she saw it again, this time through field glasses from within the French lines. It was in the hands of the Germans. They had taken the village without resistance and had held it for four years. 


<div><br><b>Miss Skinner declared to a French officer that this was to be her village to adopt.</b> When he protested that there was nothing left but the hill, she replied with true American vision: `Then I will rebuild what there is of it.'" After the war, in 1919, she returned to Hattonchatel to make good on her promise. She spent a million dollars on the reconstruction - including a new water system, electricity, a model school house, and a town hall with a library and a cinema hall. "In recognition of her unselfish and well-directed efforts for the relief of suffering in France, the French Government bestowed upon Belle Skinner, in 1919, the Gold Medal of the Reconnaissance Francaise, and, in 1920, the Cross of the Legion d'Honneur."

<div><br><b>Whitetails communicate in many different ways including sounds, scent and marking. </b>All whitetail deer are capable of producing audible noises, unique to each animal. Fawns release a high pitched squeal, known as a bleat, to call out to their mothers. Does also bleat, as well as grunt. Grunting produces a low, guttural sound that will attract the attention of any other deer in the area. Both does and bucks snort, a sound that often signals danger. As well as snorting, bucks also grunt at a pitch thats gets lower with maturity. Bucks are unique, however, in their grunt-snort-wheeze pattern that often shows aggression and hostility.</div><br/>


<div><br><b>  Antlered white-tailed deer possess many glands that allow them to produce scents, some of which are so potent they can be detected by the human nose. </b>Three major glands are the orbital, tarsal and metatarsal glands. Orbital glands are found on the head, and scent is deposited from them by rubbing the head, often the area around the eyes, on hanging twigs. The tarsal glands are found on the lower outside of each hind leg. Scent is deposited from these glands when deer walk through and rub against vegetation. The metatarsal glands, found on the inside "knee" of each hind leg, are the most potent.</div><br/>

 
<div><br><b> During the first year the pedicles appear on the young deer's forehead.</b> The following year, the youngster sprouts straight, spike- like shafts, and in the third year, the first branch appears. In successive years, as the deer matures, his antlers lengthen and, in most species, he acquires additional branches. One can actually determine the age of the deer from the number of branches on his antlers, as their number increases with age.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>Whitetails communicate in many different ways including sounds, scent and marking. </b>All whitetail deer are capable of producing audible noises, unique to each animal. Fawns release a high pitched squeal, known as a bleat, to call out to their mothers. Does also bleat, as well as grunt. Grunting produces a low, guttural sound that will attract the attention of any other deer in the area. Both does and bucks snort, a sound that often signals danger. As well as snorting, bucks also grunt at a pitch thats gets lower with maturity. Bucks are unique, however, in their grunt-snort-wheeze pattern that often shows aggression and hostility.</div><br/>


<div><br><b>  Antlered white-tailed deer possess many glands that allow them to produce scents, some of which are so potent they can be detected by the human nose. </b>Three major glands are the orbital, tarsal and metatarsal glands. Orbital glands are found on the head, and scent is deposited from them by rubbing the head, often the area around the eyes, on hanging twigs. The tarsal glands are found on the lower outside of each hind leg. Scent is deposited from these glands when deer walk through and rub against vegetation. The metatarsal glands, found on the inside "knee" of each hind leg, are the most potent.</div><br/>

 
<div><br><b> During the first year the pedicles appear on the young deer's forehead.</b> The following year, the youngster sprouts straight, spike- like shafts, and in the third year, the first branch appears. In successive years, as the deer matures, his antlers lengthen and, in most species, he acquires additional branches. One can actually determine the age of the deer from the number of branches on his antlers, as their number increases with age.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>The ChÃ©teau de Beynac is a castle situated in the commune of Beynac-et-Cazenac, in the Dordogne dÃ©partement of France. The castle is one of the best preserved and best-known in the region.</b> This Middle Ages construction, with its austere appearance, is perched on top of a limestone cliff, dominating the town and the north bank of the Dordogne River.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>The castle was built from the 12th century by the barons of Beynac (one of the four baronies of PÃ©rigord) to close the valley.</b> The sheer cliff face being sufficient to discourage any assault from that side, the defences were built up on the plateau: double crenellated walls, double moats, one of which was a deepened natural ravine, double barbican.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>The castle was built from the 12th century by the barons of Beynac (one of the four baronies of PÃ©rigord) to close the valley.</b> The sheer cliff face being sufficient to discourage any assault from that side, the defences were built up on the plateau: double crenellated walls, double moats, one of which was a deepened natural ravine, double barbican.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>Brancepeth Castle is in the village of Brancepeth in County Durham, England,</b>  south-west of the city of Durham . A succession of buildings has been on the site. The first was a Norman castle built by the Bulmers which was rebuilt by the Nevilles in the late 14th century. For many years the castle was owned by the Neville family until in 1569 it was confiscated by the Crown following the family's involvement in the Rising of the North.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>There have been a number of other owners since that time. </b>In the early 1600s the estate was granted by the Crown to Carr and sold by them to Sir Nicholas Cole. In about 1720 the property was acquired by Sir Henry Bellasyse whose daughter was involved with Bobby Shafto. In 1796 the Castle was acquired by the Russells. The present building is largely a 19th century restoration carried out in the 1820s by John Matthew Russell and improved in mid 19th century by architect Anthony Salvin for William Russell ( High Sheriff of Durham in 1841)</div><br/>



<div><br><div id="red12"><b>Most Designs Used Today Were Conceived Hundreds Of Years Ago By Some Of The Worlds Most Famous Architects And Designers Working For The Aristocracies And The Well To Do Of Their Period. </b></div id="red12">Many of these architects and designers are as well known as Leonardo da Vinci (renaissance architecture) or Michelangelo,s (baroque architecture) as well as more recently  William Morris,  John Ruskin (founders of the Arts and Crafts furniture movement in circa 1800 England)  Gustave Stickley (founder of the American Arts and Crafts movement in America circa 1900.)

Then all timbers are hand hewn by our master carvers using a draw knife to make the beams appear as pealed logs.  We also hand chiseled to add a bark appearance if a bark look is desired. This method, although labor intensive insures the structure integrity and the bark will never fall off. </div><br/>

<div><br><b>The ChÃ©teau de Beynac is a castle situated in the commune of Beynac-et-Cazenac, in the Dordogne dÃ©partement of France.

<div><br><b>The castle was built from the 12th century by the barons of Beynac (one of the four baronies of PÃ©rigord) to close the valley.</b> The sheer cliff face being sufficient to discourage any assault from that side, the defences were built up on the plateau: double crenellated walls, double moats, one of which was a deepened natural ravine, double barbican.</div><br/>

<center><div><br><div id="red20"><b>More Product Details As Shown </b></div></center>
<div><br><b>A bar (also called a pub or tavern) is a business that serves drinks, especially alcoholic beverages such as beer, liquor, and mixed drinks, for consumption on the premises.</b> Bars provide stools or chairs for the patrons along tables or raised counters. Some bars have entertainment on a stage, such as a live band, comedians, go-go dancers, a floor show or strippers (see strip club). Bars that are part of hotels are sometimes called long bars or hotel lounges.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>The term "bar" is derived from the specialized counter on which drinks are served and is a synecdoche applied to the whole of the drinking establishment.</b> The "back bar" or "gantry" is a set of shelves of glasses and bottles behind that counter. In some bars, the gantry is elaborately decorated with woodwork, etched glass, mirrors, and lights. When food is served elsewhere in the establishment, it may also be ordered and eaten at the bar.</div><br/>


<div><br><b>There are many types of bars, which can be categorized according to the types of entertainment provided at the bar and by their clientÃ§Ã‚Â¨le.</b> Bars categorized by the type of entertainment or activities offered at the bar include: Topless bars, where topless female employees serve drinks or dance; sports bars, where sports fans watch games on large-screen televisions; salsa bars, where patrons dance to Latin salsa music; and dance bars, which have a modest-sized dance floor where patrons dance to recorded music. However, if a dance bar has a large dance floor and hires well-known professional DJs, it is considered to be nightclub or discothÃ§Ã‚Â¨que.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>Bars categorized by the clientele who come to the bar include:</b> biker bars, which are bars frequented by motorcycle enthusiasts, and in some regions, motorcycle gang members; gay bars, where gay men or women dance and socialize; cop bars, where off-duty law enforcement agents gather; and singles bars where (mostly) unmarried people of both genders can socialize and meet.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>A bar's owners and managers typically choose establishment names, decor, drink menus, lighting and other elements they can control so as to attract a certain clientele.</b> However, bar operators have only limited influence over who patronizes their establishments and a bar envisioned for one demographic can become popular with another. For example, a gay bar with a dance floor might attract an increasingly-straight clientele over time and vice versa. As well, a blues club may become a de facto "biker bar" if its main clients are biker gang members.
There are also retro bars and lounge bars.</div><br/>


<div><br><b>Wine bars Although the trend of wine bars in the United States was not well-received in the 1980s, they began to gain popularity in the 90s.</b> By early 2000, wine bars became very popular and started popping up in many metropolitan neighborhoods across the country. Wine bars now rival the local hangouts such as coffee shops and local bars. The wine bar phenomenon offers the taste before you buy philosophy. Wine bars put a new spin on wine tasting. They seek to remove the association of wine with upscale clientÃ§Ã‚Â¨le and overwhelming wine lists and replace it with a more casual and relaxing atmosphere. Many of these bars are furnished with nooks and booths encased in rich colors and plush surroundings in hopes their guests will linger. Wine bars look to embrace the intellectual stimulation linked to wine and offer an alternative to the bar scene. The laid-back environment lends itself to a good socializing setting with a less crowded feel and more intimate appeal. Modern wine bars have begun to incorporate a larger variety of food choices. Traditionally associated with cheeses and desserts, wine bars are looking to combine wine with appetizer-sized gourmet selections to enhance the palate. The concept brings the tastes of fancy restaurants to a dressed-down setting. Restaurant owners and chefs take the opposite approach and use wine bars as an opportunity for expansion.</div><br/>




<div><br><b>In Australia, traditionally the 'public bar' was where only men drank, while the 'lounge bar' or 'saloon bar' was where women or men could drink (i.e. mixed drinking). This distinction is not seen now as anti-discrimination legislation and women's rights activism has broken down the concept of a public drinking area accessible to only one sex.</b> Where two bars still exist in the one establishment, one (that derived from the 'public bar') will be more downmarket while the other (deriving from the 'lounge bar') will be more upmarket. Over time, with the introduction of gaming machines into hotels, many 'lounge bars' have or are being converted into gaming rooms.
In the major Australian cities there is an immense and diverse bar scene with a range of ambiences, modes and styles catering for every echelon of cosmopolitan society.</div><br/>

<div><br><b> Canada has absorbed many of the public house traditions common in the UK, such as the drinking of dark ales and stouts, and the establishment of British-style pubs.</b> Canada adopted the UK-style tavern, which was the most popular type of bar throughout the 1960s and 1970s, especially for working class people. Canadian taverns, which can still be found in remote regions of Northern Canada, have long tables with benches lining the sides. Patrons in these taverns often order beer in large quart bottles and drink inexpensive "bar brand" Canadian rye whisky. In some provinces, taverns used to have separate entrances for men and women.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>As Canada borders the United States, it has also adopted many U.S. bar traditions (such as the "biker bar", and the "sports bar").</b> As a result the term "bar" has often come to be differentiated with the term "pub", in that bars are usually 'themed' and often have a dance floor (such as a dance bar), as opposed to establishments which call themselves pubs, which are often much more similar to a British tavern in style. The U.S.- bar has become very popular in Canada. Canadian sports bars are usually decorated with merchandise and paraphernalia featuring the local hockey team, and patrons watch the games on large-screen televisions.</div><br/>


<div><br><b>Legal restrictions on bars are set by the Canadian provinces and territories, which has led to a great deal of variety. </b>While some provinces have been very restrictive with their bar regulation, setting strict closing times and banning the removal of alcohol from the premises, other provinces have been more liberal. In Alberta, for example, patrons can order beer for "take-out" at the end of the night, a practice which is illegal in provinces such as Ontario. Closing times generally run from 2:00 to 4:00 a.m.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>In Nova Scotia, particularly in Halifax, there was, until the 1980s, a very distinct system of gender-based laws were in effect for decades.</b> Taverns, bars, halls, and other classifications differentiated whether it was exclusively for men or women, men with invited women, vice-versa, or mixed. After this fell to the wayside, the issue of water closets led many powder rooms in taverns being either constructed later, or in kitchens or upstairs halls where plumbing allowed, and the same in former sitting rooms for men's facilities.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>India Bars in India are mainly clustered in metro cities, like Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, etc.</b> The rest of the country has very few bar formats. Mostly, drinks are served in establishments such as restaurants. Many consumers prefer to purchase liquor at "wine shops" (locally known as Thekas Âshops that, until recently, stocked only beer and liquor) and consume it at home. More recently, bars are showing up in smaller cities; but, these establishments cater to a mostly male clientÃ§Ã‚Â¨le and are unlike the social hubs of the west. Since last few years, many international brand have entered the market, like 'Hard Rock Cafe', 'TGI Friday's', Ruby Tuesday's', Pop Tate's, 'Ministry of Sound(MOS)', etc. Similar chains of bars are now starting to emerge from within the country. Olives, Punjabi by nature, Geoffrey's Dhadkkan at Solan Himachal Pradesh and All Sports Bar are among the few popular ones.</div><br/>


<div><br><b>In Italy, a 'bar' is a place more similar to a CafÃ©, where people go during the morning or the afternoon, usually to take a coffee, a cappuccino, a hot chocolate and eat some kind of snack like pastries and sandwiches (panini or tramezzini). However, any kind of alcoholic beverages are served. </b>Opening hours vary: some establishments are open since very early in the morning and close relatively early in the evening; others, especially if next to a theater or a cinema, may be open until late at night. In larger cities like Milan, Rome, Turin or Genoa, many larger bars are also restaurants and disco clubs. Many Italian bars have introduced a 'so called' "aperitivo" time in the evening: everyone who purchases an alcoholic drink then has free access to an usually abundant buffet of cold dishes like pasta salads, vegetables and various types of appetizers.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>Bars in Spain are very common and form an important part in Spanish culture.</b> In Spain it is common for a town to have many bars and even to have several lined up in the same street. Most bars have a section of the street or plaza outside with tables and chairs with parasols if the weather allows it. Spanish bars are also known for serving a wide range of sandwiches (bocadillos), as well as snacks called tapas or pinchos. Normally, most bars in Spain offer tapas, but some of them are served on a complementary basis when a drink is ordered, and others have to be ordered and paid. Normally, bars in Southern Spain offer free-tapas with the drinks while in North Spain bars tend to charge for them. Due to a recent law, some bars ban smoking though their number is comparatively small with the bars that allow it. Bigger bars must have always a smoke-free zone.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>Spain is the country with the highest ratio of bars/population with almost 6 bars per thousand inhabitants, that's 3 times UK's ratio and 4 times Germany's, and it alone has double the number of bars than the oldest of the 15-members of the European Union. </b> The meaning of the word 'bar' in Spain, however, does not have the negative connotation inherent in the same word in many other languages. For Spanish people a bar is essentially a meeting place, and not necessarily a place to engage in the consumption of alcoholic beverages. As a result, children are normally allowed into bars, and it's common to see families in bars during week-ends of the end of the day. In small towns, the 'bar' may constitute the very center of social life, and it's customary that, after social events, such as the Sunday catholic mass, people go to bars, including seniors and children alike.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>In the UK bars are either areas that serve alcoholic drinks within establishments such as hotels, restaurants, universities, or are a particular type of establishment which serves alcoholic drinks such as wine bars, "style bars", private membership only bars.</b> However the main type of establishment selling alcohol for consumption on the premises is the public house or pub. Some bars are similar to nightclubs in that they feature loud music, subdued lighting, or operate a dress code and admissions policy, with inner city bars generally having door staff at the entrance.
'Bar' also designates a separate drinking area within a pub. Until recent years most pubs had two or more bars - very often the Public bar, and the Saloon Bar, where the decor was better and prices were sometimes higher. The designations of the bars varied regionally. In the last two decades many pub interiors have been opened up into single spaces, which some people regret as it loses the flexibility, intimacy and traditional feel of a multi-roomed public house. One of the last 'Dive Bars' in london was underneath the Kings Head pub in Gerrard Street, Soho.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>In the United States of America, legal distinctions often exist between restaurants, bars, and even types of bars. </b>These distinctions vary from state to state, and even among municipalities. Beer bars (sometimes called taverns or pubs) may be legally restricted to only selling beer or possibly wine, cider and other low-proof beverages. Liquor bars sell everything from beer to hard liquor.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>Bars are sometimes exempt from smoking bans that restaurants are subject to, even if those restaurants have liquor licenses.</b> The distinction between a restaurant that serves liquor and a bar is usually made by the percentage of revenue earned from selling liquor, although increasingly, smoking bans include bars too. In most places, bars are prohibited from selling alcoholic beverages to go and this makes them clearly different from liquor stores. Some brewpubs and wineries can serve alcohol to go, but under the rules applied to a liquor store. In some areas, such as New Orleans and parts of Las Vegas, open containers of alcohol may be prepared to go. This kind of restriction is usually dependent on an open container law.</div><br/>

<div><br><b> In Pennsylvania and Ohio, bars may sell six packs of beer "to-go" in original (sealed) containers by obtaining a take-out license. </b>Historically, the western United States featured saloons. Many saloons survive in the western United States, though their services and features have changed with the times. Newer establishments have been built in the saloon style to duplicate the feeling of the older establishments. Many Irish or British-themed "pubs" exist throughout United States and Canada and in some continental European countries. La Crosse, Wisconsin, has the most bars per capita with 362 bars and only 51,034 people living in the city limits.</div><br/>


<div><br><b>Elsewhere Bars range from down-and-dirty "dives" which are little more than a dark room with a counter and some bottles of liquor, to elegant places of entertainment for the elite.</b>
Many bars set a happy hour to encourage off-peak patronage. Contrastingly, bars that fill to capacity typically implement a cover charge, often similar in price to one or two cocktails, during their peak hours. Such bars often feature entertainment, which may be a live band, or a popular D.J..

<div><br><b>A cattle drive is the process of moving a herd of cattle from one place to another, usually moved and herded by cowboys on horses.
Cattle drives involved cowboys on horseback moving herds of cattle long distances to market. It was a major economic activity in the American west, particularly between the years 1866-95, when 10 million cattle were herded from Texas to railheads in Kansas for shipments to stockyards in Chicago and points east. Because of extensive treatment of cattle drives in fiction and film, the cowboy became the worldwide iconic image of the American.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>Texans established trail driving as a regular occupation. Before they broke away from Mexico in 1836, they had a "Beef Trail" to New Orleans.</b> In the 1840s they extended their markets northward into Missouri. The towns of Sedalia, Baxter Springs, Springfield, and Saint Louis became principal markets. During the 1850s, emigration and freighting from the Missouri River westward caused a rise in demand for oxen. In 1858, the firm of Russell, Majors and Waddell utilized about 40,000 oxen. Texas longhorn were broken by the thousands for work oxen. Herds of longhorns were driven to Chicago, and at least one herd all the way to New York.</div><br/>


<div><br><b>After 1865 cowboys drove herds of longhorn cattle over the Chisholm Trail to the railheads in Kansas; they were replaced with hybrid short-horned breeds after 1900.</b>
The gold boom in California in the 1850s created a demand for beef and provided people with the cash to pay for it. Thus very long drives were attempted. Australians began cattle drives to ports for shipment of beef to San Francisco and, after freezing methods were developed, all the way to Britain. In 1853 Italian aristocrat Leonetto Cipriani undertook a drive from St. Louis to San Francisco along the Oregon-California trail; he returned to Europe in 1855 with large profits.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>The California Gold Rush In the cold morning hours of January 24, 1848, James Marshall,</b> a construction foreman at Sutters Mill, was inspecting the water flow through the mills tail race.</b> The sawmill, on the banks of the American River in Coloma, California, was owned by John A. Sutter, who desperately needed lumber for the building of a large flour mill. On that particular morning, Marshall not only found the water to be flowing adequately through the mill, but also spied a shiny object twinkling in the frigid stream. Stooping to pick it up, he looked with awe at a pea-sized gold nugget lying within his hand.He immediately went to visit Elizabeth Jane "Jennie" Wimmer, the camp cook and laundress, who had grown up in a prospecting family.</div><br/>
 
<div><br><b> Ms. Wimmer used a lye soap solution overnight to verify that the 1/3 ounce nugget Marshall had found was true gold. </b>Dubbing it the Wimmer Nugget, which was later appraised at $5.12, Marshall gave it to her on a necklace. It would later be displayed at the Columbian Exposition of 1893.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>The frontier! There is no word in the English language more stirring, more intimate, or more beloved. It has in it all the elan of the old French phrase, En avant! It carries all of the old Saxon command, Forward!! It means all that America ever meant.</b> It means the old hope of a real personal liberty, and yet a real human advance in character and achievement. To a genuine American it is the dearest word in all the world. What is, or was, the frontier? Where was it? Under what stars did it lie? Because, as the vague Iliads of ancient heroes or the nebulous records of the savage gentlemen of the Middle Ages make small specific impingement on our consciousness today, so also even now begin the tales of our own old frontier to assume a haziness, an unreality, which makes them seem less history than folklore. Now the truth is that the American frontier of history has many a local habitation and many a name. And this is why it lies somewhat indefinite under the blue haze of the years, all the more alluring for its lack of definition, like some old mountain range, the softer and more beautiful for its own shadows.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>A cattle drive is the process of moving a herd of cattle from one place to another, usually moved and herded by cowboys on horses.
Cattle drives involved cowboys on horseback moving herds of cattle long distances to market. It was a major economic activity in the American west, particularly between the years 1866-95, when 10 million cattle were herded from Texas to railheads in Kansas for shipments to stockyards in Chicago and points east. Because of extensive treatment of cattle drives in fiction and film, the cowboy became the worldwide iconic image of the American.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>Texans established trail driving as a regular occupation. Before they broke away from Mexico in 1836, they had a "Beef Trail" to New Orleans.</b> In the 1840s they extended their markets northward into Missouri. The towns of Sedalia, Baxter Springs, Springfield, and Saint Louis became principal markets. During the 1850s, emigration and freighting from the Missouri River westward caused a rise in demand for oxen. In 1858, the firm of Russell, Majors and Waddell utilized about 40,000 oxen. Texas longhorn were broken by the thousands for work oxen. Herds of longhorns were driven to Chicago, and at least one herd all the way to New York.</div><br/>


<div><br><b>After 1865 cowboys drove herds of longhorn cattle over the Chisholm Trail to the railheads in Kansas; they were replaced with hybrid short-horned breeds after 1900.</b>
The gold boom in California in the 1850s created a demand for beef and provided people with the cash to pay for it. Thus very long drives were attempted. Australians began cattle drives to ports for shipment of beef to San Francisco and, after freezing methods were developed, all the way to Britain. In 1853 Italian aristocrat Leonetto Cipriani undertook a drive from St. Louis to San Francisco along the Oregon-California trail; he returned to Europe in 1855 with large profits.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>A cattle drive is the process of moving a herd of cattle from one place to another, usually moved and herded by cowboys on horses.
Cattle drives involved cowboys on horseback moving herds of cattle long distances to market. It was a major economic activity in the American west, particularly between the years 1866-95, when 10 million cattle were herded from Texas to railheads in Kansas for shipments to stockyards in Chicago and points east. Because of extensive treatment of cattle drives in fiction and film, the cowboy became the worldwide iconic image of the American.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>Texans established trail driving as a regular occupation. Before they broke away from Mexico in 1836, they had a "Beef Trail" to New Orleans.</b> In the 1840s they extended their markets northward into Missouri. The towns of Sedalia, Baxter Springs, Springfield, and Saint Louis became principal markets. During the 1850s, emigration and freighting from the Missouri River westward caused a rise in demand for oxen. In 1858, the firm of Russell, Majors and Waddell utilized about 40,000 oxen. Texas longhorn were broken by the thousands for work oxen. Herds of longhorns were driven to Chicago, and at least one herd all the way to New York.</div><br/>


<div><br><b>After 1865 cowboys drove herds of longhorn cattle over the Chisholm Trail to the railheads in Kansas; they were replaced with hybrid short-horned breeds after 1900.</b>
The gold boom in California in the 1850s created a demand for beef and provided people with the cash to pay for it. Thus very long drives were attempted. Australians began cattle drives to ports for shipment of beef to San Francisco and, after freezing methods were developed, all the way to Britain. In 1853 Italian aristocrat Leonetto Cipriani undertook a drive from St. Louis to San Francisco along the Oregon-California trail; he returned to Europe in 1855 with large profits.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>The California Gold Rush In the cold morning hours of January 24, 1848, James Marshall,</b> a construction foreman at Sutters Mill, was inspecting the water flow through the mills tail race.</b> The sawmill, on the banks of the American River in Coloma, California, was owned by John A. Sutter, who desperately needed lumber for the building of a large flour mill. On that particular morning, Marshall not only found the water to be flowing adequately through the mill, but also spied a shiny object twinkling in the frigid stream. Stooping to pick it up, he looked with awe at a pea-sized gold nugget lying within his hand.He immediately went to visit Elizabeth Jane "Jennie" Wimmer, the camp cook and laundress, who had grown up in a prospecting family.</div><br/>
 
<div><br><b> Ms. Wimmer used a lye soap solution overnight to verify that the 1/3 ounce nugget Marshall had found was true gold. </b>Dubbing it the Wimmer Nugget, which was later appraised at $5.12, Marshall gave it to her on a necklace. It would later be displayed at the Columbian Exposition of 1893.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>William Barclay Masterson was born in Iroquois County, Illinois, 1856 His father was a farmer and came originally from St. Lawrence County, New York. His mother and father  still live, and count themselves among the Sedgwick County pioneers of Kansas, with a sunflower residence that reaches rearward half a century. First a Kansas farm boy, Mr. Masterson was early abroad upon the plains. What is farmland now was savage wilderness then, and those who invaded it did so with a knowledge that their hands must keep their heads. For twenty years, beginning when he was thirteen, Mr. Masterson lived by his own personal powers of offense and defense, and was in more or less daily peril of death from Indians, or from outlaw spirits common enough, these latter, in the West of that hour.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>Has Wasted Least Lead of any Man</b> Just as some folk are born poets, so others are born shots, and Mr. Masterson, from the first, evinced a genius for firearms. With either rifle or pistol he proved himself infallible, and of all who ever plied trigger he has wasted the least lead. It was as a hunter, he won his name of "Bat," which descended to him as it were from Baptiste Brown, or "Old Bat," whose fame as a mighty Nimrod was flung all across, from the Missouri River to the Spanish Peaks, and filled with admiration, that generation of plainsmen which immediately preceded Mr. Masterson upon the Western stage.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>The California Gold Rush In the cold morning hours of January 24, 1848, James Marshall,</b> a construction foreman at Sutters Mill, was inspecting the water flow through the mills tail race.</b> The sawmill, on the banks of the American River in Coloma, California, was owned by John A. Sutter, who desperately needed lumber for the building of a large flour mill. On that particular morning, Marshall not only found the water to be flowing adequately through the mill, but also spied a shiny object twinkling in the frigid stream. Stooping to pick it up, he looked with awe at a pea-sized gold nugget lying within his hand.He immediately went to visit Elizabeth Jane "Jennie" Wimmer, the camp cook and laundress, who had grown up in a prospecting family.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>The California Gold Rush In the cold morning hours of January 24, 1848, James Marshall,</b> a construction foreman at Sutters Mill, was inspecting the water flow through the mills tail race.</b> The sawmill, on the banks of the American River in Coloma, California, was owned by John A. Sutter, who desperately needed lumber for the building of a large flour mill. On that particular morning, Marshall not only found the water to be flowing adequately through the mill, but also spied a shiny object twinkling in the frigid stream.

<div><br><b>The California Gold Rush In the cold morning hours of January 24, 1848, James Marshall,</b> a construction foreman at Sutters Mill, was inspecting the water flow through the mills tail race.</b> The sawmill, on the banks of the American River in Coloma, California, was owned by John A. Sutter, who desperately needed lumber for the building of a large flour mill. On that particular morning, Marshall not only found the water to be flowing adequately through the mill, but also spied a shiny object twinkling in the frigid stream. Stooping to pick it up, he looked with awe at a pea-sized gold nugget lying within his hand.He immediately went to visit Elizabeth Jane "Jennie" Wimmer, the camp cook and laundress, who had grown up in a prospecting family.</div><br/>
 
<div><br><b> Ms. Wimmer used a lye soap solution overnight to verify that the 1/3 ounce nugget Marshall had found was true gold. </b>Dubbing it the Wimmer Nugget, which was later appraised at $5.12, Marshall gave it to her on a necklace. It would later be displayed at the Columbian Exposition of 1893.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>Lawman turned outlaw, Alvord was born in Arizona Territory in 1866. </b>The son of a justice of the peace, he often traveled with his father. When he was just 15 years old he was working as a stable hand at Tombstone's O.K. Corral, where he witnessed the famous gunfight. Three years later, he also was present when vigilantes lynched John Heath, a convicted thief and murderer. In 1886, at the age of twenty, Alvord was appointed Deputy Sheriff of Cochise County by the newly-elected Sheriff, "Texas" John Slaughter.</div><br/>
 
 

 
</div><br/> Within no time, Alvord earned a reputation as an excellent tracker as he brought in a number of cattle rustlers and other wanted fugitives.</b> For the next three years, Alvord served with Slaughter in many a shoot-out with outlaws, rustlers, and gunmen of all kinds. However, Alvords sterling reputation as an efficient lawman began to slip in 1889, when he began to drink heavily</div><br/>

<div><br><b>The California Gold Rush In the cold morning hours of January 24, 1848, James Marshall,</b> a construction foreman at Sutters Mill, was inspecting the water flow through the mills tail race.</b> The sawmill, on the banks of the American River in Coloma, California, was owned by John A. Sutter, who desperately needed lumber for the building of a large flour mill. On that particular morning, Marshall not only found the water to be flowing adequately through the mill, but also spied a shiny object twinkling in the frigid stream. Stooping to pick it up, he looked with awe at a pea-sized gold nugget lying within his hand.He immediately went to visit Elizabeth Jane "Jennie" Wimmer, the camp cook and laundress, who had grown up in a prospecting family.</div><br/>
 
<div><br><b> Ms. Wimmer used a lye soap solution overnight to verify that the 1/3 ounce nugget Marshall had found was true gold. </b>Dubbing it the Wimmer Nugget, which was later appraised at $5.12, Marshall gave it to her on a necklace. It would later be displayed at the Columbian Exposition of 1893.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>The California Gold Rush In the cold morning hours of January 24, 1848, James Marshall,</b> a construction foreman at Sutters Mill, was inspecting the water flow through the mills tail race.</b> The sawmill, on the banks of the American River in Coloma, California, was owned by John A. Sutter, who desperately needed lumber for the building of a large flour mill. On that particular morning, Marshall not only found the water to be flowing adequately through the mill, but also spied a shiny object twinkling in the frigid stream. Stooping to pick it up, he looked with awe at a pea-sized gold nugget lying within his hand.He immediately went to visit Elizabeth Jane "Jennie" Wimmer, the camp cook and laundress, who had grown up in a prospecting family.</div><br/>
 
<div><br><b> Ms. Wimmer used a lye soap solution overnight to verify that the 1/3 ounce nugget Marshall had found was true gold. </b>Dubbing it the Wimmer Nugget, which was later appraised at $5.12, Marshall gave it to her on a necklace. It would later be displayed at the Columbian Exposition of 1893.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>The California Gold Rush In the cold morning hours of January 24, 1848, James Marshall,</b> a construction foreman at Sutters Mill, was inspecting the water flow through the mills tail race.</b> The sawmill, on the banks of the American River in Coloma, California, was owned by John A. Sutter, who desperately needed lumber for the building of a large flour mill. On that particular morning, Marshall not only found the water to be flowing adequately through the mill, but also spied a shiny object twinkling in the frigid stream. Stooping to pick it up, he looked with awe at a pea-sized gold nugget lying within his hand.He immediately went to visit Elizabeth Jane "Jennie" Wimmer, the camp cook and laundress, who had grown up in a prospecting family.</div><br/>
 
<div><br><b> Ms. Wimmer used a lye soap solution overnight to verify that the 1/3 ounce nugget Marshall had found was true gold. </b>Dubbing it the Wimmer Nugget, which was later appraised at $5.12, Marshall gave it to her on a necklace. It would later be displayed at the Columbian Exposition of 1893.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>The California Gold Rush In the cold morning hours of January 24, 1848, James Marshall,</b> a construction foreman at Sutters Mill, was inspecting the water flow through the mills tail race.</b> The sawmill, on the banks of the American River in Coloma, California, was owned by John A. Sutter, who desperately needed lumber for the building of a large flour mill. On that particular morning, Marshall not only found the water to be flowing adequately through the mill, but also spied a shiny object twinkling in the frigid stream. Stooping to pick it up, he looked with awe at a pea-sized gold nugget lying within his hand.He immediately went to visit Elizabeth Jane "Jennie" Wimmer, the camp cook and laundress, who had grown up in a prospecting family.</div><br/>
 
<div><br><b> Ms. Wimmer used a lye soap solution overnight to verify that the 1/3 ounce nugget Marshall had found was true gold. </b>Dubbing it the Wimmer Nugget, which was later appraised at $5.12, Marshall gave it to her on a necklace. It would later be displayed at the Columbian Exposition of 1893.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>This Lodge Style Furniture Is Built From Solid Cedar Square Beams</b> that have been fully cured by natural desert air drying. All timbers are cured for at least 2 years to less than 6% prior to being tenon joined, pegged and doweled to create a solid structure. This solid structure would be likened to the way a well built wooden train trestle or old 19th century barn would be built. Then all timbers are hand hewn by our master carvers using a draw knife to make the beams appear as pealed logs.  We also hand chiseled to add a bark appearance if a bark look is desired. This method, although labor intensive insures the structure integrity and the bark will never fall off. </div><br/>

<div><br><b>Most log furniture Is  built with semi cured lumber taken directly from the forest.</b> Many of these tables are not structural even though they would lead one to believe they are at first blush. </div>

<div><b>The reason is usually the instability of the lumber.</b> These natural logs will usually continue shrink 20% to 35% more once they are in the environment of your home. This allows the slip joints to shrink and almost always bow and twist. <b><div id="red12">This of course makes most of these natural log tables, that appear to be quality furnishings, eventual firewood.</b></div>

<div><br><b>The California Gold Rush In the cold morning hours of January 24, 1848, James Marshall,</b> a construction foreman at Sutters Mill, was inspecting the water flow through the mills tail race.</b> The sawmill, on the banks of the American River in Coloma, California, was owned by John A. Sutter, who desperately needed lumber for the building of a large flour mill. On that particular morning, Marshall not only found the water to be flowing adequately through the mill, but also spied a shiny object twinkling in the frigid stream. Stooping to pick it up, he looked with awe at a pea-sized gold nugget lying within his hand.He immediately went to visit Elizabeth Jane "Jennie" Wimmer, the camp cook and laundress, who had grown up in a prospecting family.</div><br/>
 
<div><br><b> Ms. Wimmer used a lye soap solution overnight to verify that the 1/3 ounce nugget Marshall had found was true gold. </b>Dubbing it the Wimmer Nugget, which was later appraised at $5.12, Marshall gave it to her on a necklace. It would later be displayed at the Columbian Exposition of 1893.</div><br/>
