Book excerpt: Local Author Writes Jewel of a Tale "Had I been given this book without a cover I would have guessed it was written by someone like Larry Mc Murtry, Louis L'Amour or perhaps even Ivan Doig or Will James. Instead, it was written by a native Oklahoman living in Mounds."-Tulsa World Oct. 30, 2005. Review By: Mike Nobles, Co-Founder of "A Group of Writers" "The book is an engrossing read, each chapter another slice of everyday life during a not so everyday cow-punching existence."-Western Horseman, April Issue 2006, Bunkhouse Review "A very impressive debut from an author I look forward to following in the years to come. The North to the Tallgrass series delivers; knock the dust off your boots, sit a spell and read a truly enjoyable western written by a man who walked the walk! Enjoy the ride!"-Joanie Stephenson, Steve's Sundry, Books & Magazines, Tulsa, Oklahoma

Book excerpt: #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A twisting, haunting true-life murder mystery about one of the most monstrous crimes in American history, from the author of The Wager and The Lost City of Z, “one of the preeminent adventure and true-crime writers working today."—New York Magazine • NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FINALIST • NOW A MARTIN SCORSESE PICTURE “A shocking whodunit…What more could fans of true-crime thrillers ask?”—USA Today “A masterful work of literary journalism crafted with the urgency of a mystery.” —The Boston Globe In the 1920s, the richest people per capita in the world were members of the Osage Nation in Oklahoma. After oil was discovered beneath their land, the Osage rode in chauffeured automobiles, built mansions, and sent their children to study in Europe. Then, one by one, the Osage began to be killed off. The family of an Osage woman, Mollie Burkhart, became a prime target. One of her relatives was shot. Another was poisoned. And it was just the beginning, as more and more Osage were dying under mysterious circumstances, and many of those who dared to investigate the killings were themselves murdered. As the death toll rose, the newly created FBI took up the case, and the young director, J. Edgar Hoover, turned to a former Texas Ranger named Tom White to try to unravel the mystery. White put together an undercover team, including a Native American agent who infiltrated the region, and together with the Osage began to expose one of the most chilling conspiracies in American history. Look for David Grann’s latest bestselling book, The Wager!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first summary of how archaeology has contributed to our understanding of the War of 1812. The contributors of original papers discuss recent excavations and field surveys that present an archaeological perspective that enriches,—and often conflicts with, received historical narratives. The studies cover fortifications, encampments, landscapes, shipwrecks, and battles in the midwestern, southern, mid-atlantic, and northeastern regions of the United States and in Canada. In addition to archaeologists, this volume will appeal to military history specialists and other historians.
