Historian William Hazelgrove returns with a book on an incredible true adventure of moving over 60 tons of cannon across 300 miles of wilderness from Ft. Ticonderoga to Boston, enabling General George Washington to save the American Revolution. It's "Henry Knox's Noble Train of Artillery".

Investigative reporter Susan Berfield uncovers a moment when capitalism and government struggled for the proper perspective in America. The youngest President ever, Theodore Roosevelt, stood up to the richest financiers in America to find a fair way to do Big Business. A massive coal miner's strike shut down the transportation of goods (like food and fuel) on railroads. Could TR and JOP Morgan resolve the strike and the Railroad Trust lawsuit to save our nation?

It's more sordid than you might think, the life of the beguiling actress with the sad eyes. Natalie Wood had the stage mother from hades, who pushed and created the star, but never loved her. Natalie spent her adult life looking for a lover who really cared for her alone. Her relationship with Robert Wagner had some major shocks (and the author, Susanne Finstad, doe snot pull punches. This is adult content time.)

These two books look at frequently-asked questions about Heaven, Hell, angels, demons and spiritual warfare.

Lots of fun to read and loaded with amazing tidbits about Alabama history , heritage, culture, and cuisine.
