This is the lively story of the only bicycle corps the U.S. Army ever authorized. Using buffalo soldiers, this 1890s African-American unit conducted drills and exercises on wheels. They rode into Northern Montana on muddy trails and toured Yellowstone on their 100-pound iron bicycles. As proof of their capabilities, these Iron Riders pedaled 1,900 miles from Ft. Missoula, across the snow-dusted Rocky Mountains and steamy Great Plains, to St. Louis. As they approached the city over 1,000 civilian bicyclists rode out to escort them into town in a great parade. Learn more about the adventures of this little known buffalo soldier unit and fascinating details about this era in America. Well researched and a good read. Full of rare pictures and drawings.

Few artists if the 19th century were as well-known during their lifetime as was Moses Ezekiel. The first Jewish cadet at the Virginia Military Institute, he fought in the battle of New Market in 1864. Encouraged by General R.E. Lee to pursue his artistic calling, Ezekiel studied in Europe and became the first American to win the coveted Prix de Rome. The ex-patriate Virginian established his studio in the ancient Baths od Diocletian in Rome. Three European monarchs knighted Ezekiel for his works; he was a favorite among artists, composers and fellow ex-patriates. Visiting Ezekiel s studio was a must-see stop for American tourists, including Ulysses S. Grant and Theodore Roosevelt.

Imagine while at a quiet family gathering, your aunt happens to mention a fire and a dead body and that your great-grandmother was arrested for murdering your great-grandfather. After you pick your jaw up off the floor, what do you do? Of course, you abandon your successful engineering career and go traipsing across the globe to find out what happened and write a book about it. That is what Christy Leskovar did. Her first book, ONE NIGHT IN A BAD INN, a High Plains Book Award finalist, tells the true story of what she found out. FINDING THE BAD INN: DISCOVERING MY FAMILY'S HIDDEN PAST is the detective hunt behind how she discovered who started the fire, how the body ended up in the house, why her grandmother was sent to an orphanage when she wasn t an orphan, what really happened when her grandfather saved that man in the war, and so much more. Armed with many questions and only a handful of clues, she set off on a quest to solve the mysteries, a quest that took her across the globe to her family s ancestral homes in Wales and Ireland, to the coal mines of Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, to a desolate Montana homestead near Forsyth, to the historic copper mines of Butte, to First World War battlefields in France and Belgium. And after amassing a treasure trove of intriguing stories, we learn how she managed to knit those stories into a compelling book. FINDING THE BAD INN and ONE NIGHT IN A BAD INN are two pieces of a remarkable true story. Begin with either one.

As A young man Harold Stine never traveled far from his home in Charleston, West Virginia, a place of forested mountains, deep valleys and muddy lethargic rivers. Friends and family, church and school were the secure web that encased his life. And yet he left this life to fly in France as a reconnaissance pilot in the Great War. His two years in France were the singular sojourn of his life, catapulting him from comfort into chaos. To better understand his father s odyssey (based on pilot s log, diary and a box of some 300 photographs and postcards), William Stine and his wife, Sharon, retraced his journeys in France. They found Harold's flying fields, located towns where he was stationed, matched his photographs and postcards with the scenes that unfolded before them and used his photographs to engage local people.
