from Doubleday
Price: $19.77

Customer Review:
Douglas Blackmon has created a classic historical book covering the "dark ages" in American Negro history, namely the period from Reconstruction to the start of World War II.

from Oxford University Press, USA
Price: $23.10

Customer Review:
I enjoyed this book. Like the others in the Oxford series, it's an "easy read", written in plain English devoid of technical or academic jargon.
And one learns a lot from it. In particular, two areas of coverage stand out. (1) Before reading the book, i had believed that the USA's victory over... more info

from Simon & Schuster
Price: $17.16

Customer Review:
I'm only partially through the book, but what a story. The fact that he couldn't even stand up when he was born, because of his leg deformity, makes him amazing. Then to become the great racer he was. Like Seabiscuit, he fought the odds because he had grit and determination. Oh how we as humans can... more info

from Simon & Schuster
Price: $13.23

Customer Review:
This was a Father's Day gift that he really enjoyed. McCullough's 1776 was great, and this seemed to be just as good, even though written a number of years ago & given a new cover.

Read this as a first edition hardback---my Amazon reviewing is a little behind, to say the least---outstanding book. The best book on L&C in print. Ambrose collaborated on a book with Nat'l Geo that is spectacular as well. OUTSTANDING from cover to cover.

Hampton Sides has written one of the finest histories of the American West to date. BLOOD and THUNDER is a fascinating adventure of not only Kit Carson, but the many people he was associated with in his incredible travels throughout America's western expansion. The characters come alive, as Sides... more info

from Vintage
Price: $10.85

Customer Review:
I am a well educated person with a particular interest in Jefferson. I was amazed at the assertion by Ellis that Jefferson formed the republican party. The republican party was not established until 1854. The party the Jefferson formed evolved into the democratic party. Are we living in the soviet... more info

10.Desperate Passage: The Donner Party s Perilous Journey WestDesperate Passage: The Donner Party's Perilous Journey West
from Oxford University Press, USA
Price: $18.48

Customer Review:
Rarick writes a very nice narrative of the Donner Party that includes references of the Hardesty and Dixon excavations of recent years. I liked the book and his generally neutral positions with a couple of exceptions. He is a bit too harsh on Lansford Hastings who is all but vilified as a main cause... more info
