Fire On The Mountain (Abbey Novel)
''Fire on the Mountain'' is a 1962 novel by Edward Abbey. It was Abbey's third published novel and followed '' Jonathan Troy'' and ''The Brave Cowboy''.

Richard Chaves
__NOTOC__ Richard John Chaves is an American character actor. Biography Career Chaves helped write the critically acclaimed stage drama ''Tracers''. In the early 1980s, he began work as an actor taking on various soap opera roles until he gained a role in 1987 as Poncho in the science fiction film ''Predator''. Soon afterward, his career received another boost with the role of Lt. Colonel Ironhorse in the television series ''War of the Worlds''. Chaves once calculated that the volume of fan mail he received outnumbered the rest of the cast members by a four or five to one ratio. However, his career hit a bump when ''War of the Worlds'' was given new creative management for its second season. The new executives did not think that the Ironhorse character worked with the format they wanted for the show, so his character and that of Norton Drake were killed off. His most recent acting appearances were in the films ''Lost Warrior: Left Behind'', ''Dark House'' and ''Beyond the Ga ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
