Story4.5 out of 5 stars 48
Prior to the Civil War, the fastest mail between the West Coast and the East took almost thirty days by stagecoach along a southern route through Texas. Some Californians feared their state would not remain in the Union, separated so far from the free states. Then businessman William Russell invested in a way to deliver mail between San Francisco and the farthest western railroad, in Saint Joseph, Missouri - across two thousand miles of mountains, deserts, and plains - guaranteed in ten days or less.

Perhaps more than even Washington, Jefferson, or Adams, Ben Franklin is the Founding Father who best exemplifies the authentic American spirit and values. Eminent historian Thomas Fleming paints a lively portrait of this self-made man blessed with a wealth of talents: a best-selling author, the most important newspaper publisher in America, and a world-renowned scientist and inventor before he took on the task of becoming the true "Father" of American independence.

The Klondike gold rush, which occurred between 1896 and 1899, was one of the strangest outbreaks of "gold fever" ever to take place. With news of California's rush still fresh in their minds, thousands of men with get-rich-quick dreams hurried to stake out claims in the Yukon. But they did not count on the murderous weather...or the severe mountain passes that protected the gold.

Geronimo: Wolf on the Warpath
I really enjoyed this book. I've never had much interest in biographies but this was well written and extremely informative. I had a lot of misconceptions about Geronimo. I would highly recommend this to anyone.

I was not bored for one minute. It was my first in-depth encounter with the history of Geronimo, and I was quite surprised at what kind of person he was.

Geronimo
This was no wheres near anything I thought it would be like. I think anyone who knows anything about the history could have written a book equal to this. I would not recomend this book.
