Book Description
In the grand storytelling style of Watership Down and Tailchaser's Song comes an epic tale of adventure and danger, of heroism against insurmountable odds, and of love and comradeship among extraordinary animals who must brave The Wild Road . . .
Secure in a world of privilege and comfort, the kitten Tag is happy as a pampered house pet--until the dreams come. Dreams that pour into his safe, snug world from the wise old cat Majicou: hazy images of travel along the magical highways of the animals, of a mission, and of a terrible responsibility that will fall on young Tag. Armed with the cryptic message that he must bring the King and Queen of cats to Tintagel before the spring equinox, Tag ventures outside. Meanwhile, an evil human known only as the Alchemist doggedly hunts the Queen for his own ghastly ends. And if the Alchemist captures her, the world will never be safe again . . .

Sadly, Warriors is better.......2007-08-22
I bought both 'The Wild Road' and its sequel 'The Golden Cat' for little than six bucks at a used bookstore. I was actually pretty thrilled to own them both, mostly because I've seen them at Barnes and Noble and actually wanted to read them. The sequel actually fared a lot better than this, to which I will write a review shortly, but it's a sad sight to see how a sequel is a lot better than the book that started it all.
Plot: A Black-tipped Burmilla cat named Tag is young and inexperienced to the world outside him. Nonetheless, he gets dreams of wanting to go out into the wild ad kill mice, be a wild cat, but the comfort of being a housecat is stronger, and he merely watches his dream through a slate of glass. Then he gets urgent dreams from an old one-eyed black cat named Majicou. Tag realizes he is destined to be the keeper of The Wild Road, an ancient, magical road used by wild animals. He is also the keeper of the King and Queen of cats, to whom he has to find and take to Tintagel before a spring equinox. All of this cannot be complete without the help of Majicou, his assistants, and the evil presence of a man known as the Alchemist, who hunts for the King and Queen of cats to control the wild road, and to seize the Golden Kittens that the Queen will give birth to. The Alchemist isn't an ordinary human, just like the Majicou isn't an ordinary cat.
For one, there are so many things that rightfully make me mad about this book, and for one, it lags, lags, lags. I mean, it is hard to get through, and for most of the time I ended up skimming through it till the end. Then I had another go at it, this time actually reading every word, page for page. It's still boring. It's like you're waiting for a certain game to download on your computer, and you just sit there and wait for something good to happen and see if it's already finished downloading. But like a crappy game you bought that thought was good, 'The Wild Road' does no justice, even for cat fans.
For one, Tag is a silly adolescent who plays his part right, and is the only character who is a bit likeable throughout this book. Majicou, the cat who teaches him the concept of the Wild Roads, and eventually tell him a bit of his past as the Alchemist's cat, is the most selfish and rather dull character in the book. He shows up, insults Tag, gives him little advice, barely shows him the power of the Wild Roads, before he gets up and disappears. No wonder why Tag is so confused half the time. Loves a Dustbin, Majicou's fox lieutenant, isn't a better character either. He tags along with Tag, but he's annoying and just as dull and flat as his master.
The King and Queen of cats are pedigree cats, bred by the Alchemist himself. Pertelot Fitzwilliam is an Egyptian Mau, and her mate is Ragnar Gustaffson Coeur de Lion (or just Rags), a Norwegian Forest cat with hardly any brains, but is a sweet and kind cat who, for some reason, has a healing power, though that isn't discovered until the very end of the story. Both cats have fancy funny names that associate with their heritage, but it's never clear why these two are the King and Queen of cats. Is it because they're both pedigrees from an old breed? Well, that could easily be any cat that's a Norwegian Forest or an Egyptian Mau. Is it because they were bred by the Alchemist? The Alchemist is known for torturing cats to death and harvesting their powers. While the two cats are so called the king and queen, Tag eventually finds them, looses them, finds them again, and eventually get to Tintagel before the spring equinox. With the help of Sealink, a loose calico cat with an attitude who traveled around the world, and is probably one of the coolest felines I've met; and Cy, a small tabby cat who has more than loose screws in her head. Other characters are introduced, but you really don't care for them, and you hardly care for the king or queen. Also, the Wild Roads...this is what the book is about, correct? Well, it talks a great deal about them, and how animals use them for traveling, but so far, no one uses the Wild Roads! It takes you from point A to point B in a heartbeat, but I guess if the Wild Roads were used, then that would have defeated the purpose of a drawn out, tedious quest, thus making the book pretty small.
The Wild Road is a concept that sounded nice, but Gabriel King as a writer failed to give it life. So far, I see only cats using them, and mostly in the flashbacks, no less. The Alchemist...he's supposedly been around for a very long time, so is he some kind of mystic? Majicou is also extremely old, so does the Wild Road grant semi-immortality? There are just so many things that needed to be explained, that never were explained. Also, humans in this story are cruel. Extremely cruel. Like too cruel to even be believable. They torture cats, even the officers who specialize in capturing them. Since when have they used lead pellets to shoot at cats, grab them roughly and actually kick them into sacks? Are you kidding me?! It's not like the stars of the show are in Mexico; they're in the USA! Also, dog lovers, look elsewhere. Dogs in this story are depicted as stupid, unintelligent monsters. It turns out to be comical and funny when told in the eyes of cats, and cats you can't find any attachment for. In the end, when all of this mess is over, and the book is finally finished, you don't feel excited or even glad that Tag has won, the King and Queen of cats have three Golden Kittens, and Majicou has sacrificed himself to destroy the Alchemist. So many inconstancies where there should've been answers and magic that was never explained that could have been told more in its sequel. But although the sequel cuts down on the boringness of what was 'The Wild Road', it still raises a lot more questions than answers, which probably would have been solved in a possible third book, if it will ever be in production. Ah well, all I can say is that this is one book that fails to interest me, cats or no cats.
A personal favorite, but not for everyone........2007-01-28
After reading some of the reviews on this page, I felt compelled to write one myself. I own the Wild Road as well as the Golden Cat, and read both when I was still a young student in highschool. I enjoyed the Wild Road especially but found the plot a tad convoluted and confusing, both due to the author's writing style, and the puzzling and fantastical qualities of the subject matter in general. Upon reading it at a later date a second time, I was able to appreciate it much more thoroughly, picking up on subtle nuances in the writing that made it a much more understandable read; it has since become among my favorite books.
However, it is not to be mistaken as kin to Tailchaser's Song, Watership Down, The Sight, or other animal epics; if you expect to read a book of those sorts, you will probably be dissapointed. The Wild Road and The Golden Cat alike are first fantasty, and secondly animal epic; you must be open to some extremely outlandish concepts traditionally only found in the realm of fantasy and sci-fi novels to enjoy this book. It deviates vastly from the very natural, organic approach most animal epics take, delving deep into the mysticism and allegory that are usually only found as small underlying currents in the genre.
Furthermore, the author of this book was clearly an animal welfarist (or even animal rights activist), as evinced be re-occuring motif of man's cruelty. Starving strays, tortured victims of vivisection, and similar themes dominate both books. This may be difficult for sensitive animal lovers and irritating to those who will percieve this as "PETA propoganda." I personally think that the element of graphic violence brutality gave the book more weight, but many found it gratuitous or offensive.
In short, this book is a fantastic read if you can keep an open mind and enjoy it for the writing and particularly the fantastic characters, but if any of the above comments have made you think twice, trust you SECOND instinct and pass it by. It is certainly not a book for everyone.
Terrible.......2007-01-21
I purchased this book because I was under the impression it would be similar to "The Ghatti's Tale". This book was very hard to read and I didn't even finish it. It jumped around and didn't seem to have any point. Not only did I buy this book that was such a disappointment, I also bought the second book and now I have two books that I won't read and wasted my money on. While I did not read the second book, I have no doubt it is as bad as the first.
Extreme dislike.......2006-11-29
I loved "Tailchaser's Song" by Tad Williams (although I did read it as a teen) and I like cats, so I thought I'd try this cat-character fantasy novel. I really did not like it. I read it to the end because I kept thinking "maybe it will get better and it will all have been worth it". But no. The main cat character was very juvenile and annoying. He is a young cat, so maybe his characteristics were "realistic", but it was still annoying. The whole "wild roads" concept was extremely strange and just not "believable" fantasy. A fantasy world needs to be built up in such a way that the reader is drawn in and finds the world believable and compelling. This was not the case for me. I scanned a few of the reviews and several people seemed to really like the book, so maybe it is a "loved it" or "hated it" book. I am still searching for a quality "Tailchaser's Song" or "Watership Down" type book. I would not recommend this book.
A Wild Ride On The Wild Road.......2006-11-10
Even if you're not a cat lover, this book won't fail to intrigue you. It's a mgical journy of cats surviving in the wild as they see life through feline eyes and interpret it so. Their simple philosophy on different situations made me laugh, cry and ponder my life situations. The story is so absorbing that at times I forgort I was reading what a cat was thinking. This was one of a few books that I couldn't wait to read every night and was sad to see it end. I'm giving a copy to all my cat owner friends. Put it in the top ranks with Watership Down.

A great guide for wildflower hunts.......2002-05-09
I'm a wildflower enthusiast who arrived in the Sacramento area about six years ago, and I use this book almost every weekend during the wildflower season in the spring. Its great value is a series of descriptions of places and roads with good wildflowers. These descriptions are organized around the major towns along the Gold Country, from Oroville in the north to Mariposa in the south. The description of each location gives decent directions (I have had to hunt sometimes but I've never failed to locate a destination yet), some local history or color, and an overview of the species that might be there. At the beginning of each town section, Fuaver provides lists that identify the locations that are especially good for kids, for hiking, for the serious botantist, or because of their good flower displays.
The place descriptions make up perhaps the first 40% of the book. The rest of the book provides descriptions and drawings of the various flower species you might see. I use a variety of other books for flower identification so this particular section isn't of much use to me, but it would probably help someone just getting started.
Even though I don't use the second part, this book has been great , giving me lots of good ideas about places to see.
A Wildflower Lovers Guide +.......2001-03-14
Toni obviously knows all the backroads and trails of the Gold Country where wildflowers bloom in the spring. Her guide is excellent: clear directions; ratings for families with children or for botanists; drawings and descriptions of the plants; mentions of other points of interests near-by. The areas described are primarily along highway 49 including sites near Colfax, Auburn, Placerville, Jackson, down to Mariposa. Have fun - and don't pick the flowers!

Although not as renowned as Buffalo Bill Cody, Joseph Miller and his brothers were in many ways as impressive as impresarios. Their Wild West shows, which competed with Cody's show and the Ringling Brothers' circuses, featured talent like Will Rogers and Tom Mix and significantly influenced American mass entertainment. In The Real Wild West, Michael Wallis makes a case that the Millers didn't just invent the romantic West but lived it as well.
Like Cody before them, the Millers took their cues from the frontier, largely because they played a significant part in its conquest. The family's rambunctious Kentuckian patriarch, George Washington Miller, abandoned the bluegrass of his home state to raise cattle on the greener pastures of the plains. His sons followed suit, but in 1905, a rodeo at the 101, their 100,000-acre-plus Oklahoma ranch, for the National Editorial Association led to a new career in popular entertainment. Within a decade, film producer Thomas Ince had set up shop nearby, utilizing talent from the 101 for his westerns. (It was Ince's mysterious death, combined with revelations of financial chicanery, that ultimately destroyed the enterprise in the 1920s.)
Wallis doesn't sugarcoat accusations of murder and illegal financial maneuverings on the part of the Millers, instead making interesting parallels between their ruthlessness and business acumen and the romantic vision of the West they presented to early-20th-century audiences. His account is also notable for its numerous biographies of 101 performers--people like Princess Wenona, the Native American rival to Annie Oakley, and Bill Pickett, an African American cowhand who founded most of the events on the professional rodeo circuit--and conveys the enthusiasm many must have felt during the Wild West shows' heyday. --John M. Anderson
Book Description
Founded in 1893, the 101 Ranch was famous across the country for its touring Wild West shows, which featured countless cowboys and cowgirls, including Buffalo Bill, Geronimo, and Bill Picket. Playing to packed arenas from coast to coast, and even in Europe, the 101 Ranch show came to embody the spirit of the frontier for the entire nation. The Miller brothers, who owned the ranch, also found themselves involved in the formation of Hollywood and western movies, and the ranch produced many of the earliest western film stars, including Tom Mix and Buck Jones.
Ten years in the making, this epic story of the 101 Ranch is nothing less than a sweeping history of the West of myth and reality. Indeed, the history of the ranch begins in Kentucky in the early 1840s and continues through most of the first half of the twentieth century. Describing the legendary cattle drives from San Antonio along the fabled Chisholm Trail, as well as the hardscrabble life of cattlemen, Michael Wallis paints an indelible portrait of the frontier as it expanded westward in the middle of the nineteenth century.
Colonel George Washington Miller, the founder of the 101, participated in these cattle drives, and Wallis follows Miller from Kentucky through Missouri and Kansas and into the Cherokee Outlet in northern Oklahoma, where he founded the 101 Ranch on the banks of the Salt Fork of the Arkansas River.
Although the 101 was an enormous, viable ranch that produced huge profits for the Millers, the family became best known for its touring shows, in which ranch hands showed off the kind of bronc-busting activities they performed on the ranch. Their re-creation of life in the West captured the imaginations of Americans across the country who longed to preserve the frontier, even as it began to disappear.
The massive popular interest in the West, evidenced by the crowds at the 101 Ranch shows, also sparked a growth in western movies, and the Miller brothers were there to participate. Dozens of Hollywood's earliest films were shot on location at the ranch, and man of the 101 Ranch cowboys starred in these motion pictures.
Following the Miller brothers through their barnstorming years, Wallis also portrays the origins of the mass entertainment industry that flourishes today, and shows how this industry helped to undo the West of reality and preserve it as a popular mythology. Full of incredible characters and unbelievable stories, this is an evocative reflection of the story of America itself, in all its grandeur and all its foibles.

Fact and Fiction of the Wild West.......2003-12-18
This book goes a long way in explaining why there was so much written about the Wild West and why so much embellishment took place.Throughout history there has been all kinds of spins put on the people involved and what really occurred.Why would anyone expect anything different during the expansion of the West,particularly after the Civil War? In dramatic times of history,be it the Wild West,WW2,Crime in Chicago etc.people are craving for an understanding of events as well entertainment,and that is what we are given by the writers and the media.
Personally,I enjoy both the factual as well as the fictional
aspect of these times.
One character who often appears in books is Ned Buntline.He was a real person by the name of Edward Zane Carroll Judson,and this book does a pretty good job of telling us who he was and some of the things he did.Somebody must have written a book on him;it would be a good read.
Terrific.......2001-05-23
One terrific book -- a majestic recreation of the figures that helped define the old west and western entertainment.
Real, - maybe, Wild - certainly!.......2001-02-23
Readers lacking a sense of irony may be dismayed to discover that the Real Wild West was only loosely hitched to reality. Spurred by the imaginations of Charles Miller and his three sons, our perception of what is the west sports the distinct brand of the 101. Take heart, though, because on the Miller Brothers' 101, the west was most certainly wild.
Possibly outlaws and certainly mavericks, the Millers rounded up some legendary talent to work their ranch and perform in their touring shows. The 101 herd of entertainers included Geronimo, Will Rogers, champion cowgirl Lucille Mulhall, Annie Oakley rival Princess Wenona, and such film legends as Tom Mix, Buck Jones, Ken Maynard, Yakima Canutt and Hoot Gibson. Black cowboy, Bill Pickett, famed for inventing the rodeo event steer wrestling spent a long career at the 101, and Buffalo Bill Cody spent his final year with the outfit.
While tooling a longstanding image of the west with their Wild West productions, the Millers also saddled up to motion pictures, oil production and an outstanding crop and livestock operation. Their story is a rodeo itself, made all the more interesting by the hints that white hats did not cover the heads of all of the 101 cowboys and cowgirls.
When the last little doggie was wrangled on the 101, the Miller Brothers' legacy did not ride off into the sunset, but continues to stampede through the dreams of would-be cowpokes everywhere. I'm not a regular patron of movie theatres, but I cannot wait until this saga makes it to the big screen!
Great Western & Family History.......2000-05-25
This book was a welcome source of information on the Carson & Miller families whose genealogy I have been researching. Michael Wallace did an excellent job of getting his historical facts straight and offered some additional resources for my search for family history.
The easy style presented an engrossing story of a family moving through history from the 1850's to the 1930's and adjusting (not always easily) to the changing moores of society.
My father was a cousin of the Miller Bros. and told us children stories of his childhood in Oklahoma and attending the shows at the 101. My sister & I recently visited the old 101 ranch site and were sad to see that little is left. The Miller house in Winfield, Kansas is still standing in beautiful condition and is a private residence.
Michael Wallace is an excellent storyteller. The book gave life to my genealogy and made me feel in touch with the characters and the times. Anyone with an interest in western history would enjoy this story of a dynamic family who helped shape our images of the old west.
A great book, highly recommended........1999-06-03
If you like history and the stories of the old west, buy this book. I really enjoyed it.
Book Description
This collection of essays from Barry Lopez, Peter Matthiessen, Janisse Ray, and 25 more of our finest nature writers explores the devastation and loss of wildlands of 500,000 miles of roads built in federal forest lands. It also offers hope with restoring these damaged lands through road removal, and preserving some of our finest pristine public wild lands.
Customer Reviews:
A mixed bag but generally a good one.......2007-09-04
Like many others, I'm increasingly disgusted by roads and the way they grow like weeds around our country. This book was collected by Thomas Reed Petersen on behalf of Wildlands CPR, a group that seeks wildlife restoration and road removal. All royalties go to Wildlands CPR, if that influences your buying decision.
The book collects about two dozen essays, of average to high quality, on the subject of roads on public lands. The styles and purposes are varied indeed, including polemics, public policy papers, meditations, and journalism. There are several classic authors such as Edward Abbey, Barry Lopez, Peter Matthiessen - - and an introduction by Annie Proulx.
Many essays discuss the problems of roads on national forest lands, which were built to serve a clearcut and then abandoned. However, the more striking group of essays discusses the problems of off-highway vehicles (mostly all-terrain vehicles and snowmobiles), which have become a bane for those who love nature.
Not everything in here is a winner. Depending on your interests, however, you'll likely to find a half-dozen or more essays that you particularly enjoy.
A new and provocative nature read . . ........2006-09-27
A Road Runs Through It: Reviving Wild Places is a powerful set of essays revolving around the unfortunate overabundance of roads on America's public lands -- many of which are unnecessary and ecologically damaging: fouling streams, dirtying our drinking water, fragmenting habitat, posing safety hazards, and eroding the wild character of some of our most precious landscapes.
Roads, while they have their place in servicing our towns and cities and in providing entryways to beautiful and soul-rejuvenating places, are also a bane. As we learn from the text only 6% of our National Forest lands (not to mention other agency lands) are paved and maintained, leaving 94% as "roads to nowhere". With the U.S. Forest Service reporting a $10 billion backlog in road maintenance, it's high time to remove these unneeded, costly, and damaging roads . . . for the good of local communities, the U.S. economy, and, of course, for wildlife and overall ecological integrity.
With a lineup of authors including Annie Proulx ("Brokeback Mountain"), Barry Lopez (Arctic Dreams), and the late polemicist Edward Abbey among others, this is a sure fire winner of a nature book. Brilliantly edited and with an introduction by environmental writer Thomas Reed Petersen, this book will educate, motivate, and move the reader to action.
A highly recommend read for anyone who loves and wants to protect America's wild places.

Three people-each on a journey-and living life eight seconds at a time. Despite ever-present danger, insufficient pay and endless miles down unfamiliar, often unfriendly highways, it's a journey they love. Wild Ride! takes readers on the road, into the arena and onto the backs of bucking broncs, hard-running horses and cantankerous bulls in an often funny, sometimes heartbreaking, but always candid look at the lives of a trio of rodeo's most successful stars. Barrel racer Monica Wilson, bull rider Kelly Armstrong and saddle bronc rider Duane Daines share their greatest triumphs and darkest hours. While most of us mutter, "Nothing could make me do that," Wild Ride! allows us to understand why these three could never want to do anything else.

Good info if you really need it.......2007-06-19
Originally written in 1989, and revised in 2003 (complete with comments that you should consider a 300TDI over a TD5 for third world use - and that at the time they were still available for export), this book is published by LR for those who are going to ship their 90's and 110's off to places without local dealers. (And where graded track will be the best to hope for.) If you are within driving distance of your dealer or return to your suburban house on Sunday evening you don't need this book.
Seven chapters cover:
1) Which Defender? explains the options / differences and why you might want them. Final word: find dealer with experience where you're going.
2) What Spares? and 6) Which Extras? some good ideas on what should be in the vehicle and at base camp, and how to get them there and keep them in usable condition.
3) Who Drives? How to operate the Defender. I felt most of this information was readily available elsewhere (one of my faves is Jim Allen's Four Wheeler's Bible). And if you can swing the logistics, a "Land Rover Experience" full-day or longer class for your drivers who are new to the off-road environment is well worth the investment.
4) What Fuel? good info on keeping your fuel at basecamp. Especially when shipments can only come in every few months.
5) Which Workshop? laying out a maintenance area and program for maintaining the vehicles.
7) What If? survival information (mostly not vehicle specific) with concentration on high temperature environments.
If you're planning an expedition where you'll be at a new place every night, Tom Sheppard's Vehicle Dependent Expedition book is back in print (2003 softcover edition $35), and I would read that first. It will take longer, but will cover a lot more subjects. Then come back to this book to see if you've forgotten anything.
This book concentrates more on the "base camp" type of operations. So if you are starting a safari company or NGO effort this is the kind of stuff you'll need to know. (But don't skip VDE in your planning stages.)
