I just finished two Tom Clavin books: "The Last Outlaws" about the Dalton and Doolin gangs of Oklahoma, and the "Three Guardsmen" Bill Tilgman, Heck Thomas, and Chris Madsen who hunted them. I had no idea Indian Territory/Oklahoma was that rowdy in the 1890's. Also by Clavin: "Follow Me To Hell", about McNelly's Texas Rangers. They really took care of business and had a body count to show for it. Also, "The Last Days of the Dinosaurs" by Riley Black. I thought the extinction took a while. Not. The dinosaurs were wiped out in literally a few hours. "Gun Barons" by John Bainbridge. The weapons that transformed America and the men who invented them. "Freedom's Forge: How American Business Produced Victory in WWII" by Arthur Herman. The auto industry was our secret weapon. |
| Just finished Don Brown and Jerry Yellin's The Last Fighter Pilot. While Don is a good writer, I don't care for his writing style. I concede it was neccessary to flush out the story othewise it would be phamplet size. The chapters written by Capt. Jerry Yellin were much better. |

Just finished the fighting bunch. I'm honestly shocked the deputies or big players in the machine weren't hunted down and killed Attached File |

McManus' Island Infernos was a great read. I finally understand Holland Smith's relieval of US Army's 27th Infantry Division commander, R. Smith. I also got details of Anguar's commander, Maj. Goto's death. Now onto the final book the trilogy, To the End of the Earth. |

Andrew Jackson and the Miracle of New Orleans. My first article published was New Orleans related. I'm still reading about the battle. My first blackpowder sharpshooter article ETA: Book was a good read. Per the author Jackson was a self-made military genius (kinda like Forrest was in the Civil War). Like Cesar he knew how to judge his enemy and after beating Red Stick and Red Stick approached to surrender, Jackson gave him good terms. When the pirate Lafitte offered help, Jackson reflected on it and allowed him to join (provided he supplied manpower, artillery and blackpowder). Jackson reasoned defeating the British was more important than hanging a notorious pirate. |

Attached File After the war is over, a radioactive cloud begins to sweep southwards on the winds, gradually poisoning everything in its path. An American submarine captain is among the survivors left sheltering in Australia, preparing with the locals for the inevitable. Despite his memories of his wife, he becomes close to a young woman struggling to accept the harsh realities of their situation. Then a faint Morse code signal is picked up, transmitting from the United States and the submarine must set sail through the bleak ocean to search for signs of life. "On the Beach" is Nevil Shute's most powerful novel. Both gripping and intensely moving, its impact is unforgettable. |

 A highly infectious, deadly virus from the central African rain forest suddenly appears in the suburbs of Washington, D.C. There is no cure. In a few days 90 percent of its victims are dead. A secret military SWAT team of soldiers and scientists is mobilized to stop the outbreak of this exotic "hot" virus. The Hot Zone tells this dramatic story, giving a hair-raising account of the appearance of rare and lethal viruses and their "crashes" into the human race. Shocking, frightening, and impossible to ignore, The Hot Zone proves that truth really is scarier than fiction. |

Herman Lehmann's Nine Years Among the Indians 1870-1879 Got some wildnerness stuff I've never read elsewhere. A great book about a boy's 9 year captivity first with the Apache and later with the Commanches. Quite a bit of insights into Apache ways in the book. |

A Hasidic gunslinger tracks the renegade teacher who betrayed his mystic Jewish order of astral travelers to the Great Old Ones across the demon haunted American Southwest of 1881. Bought it on a whim. Very entertaining. |
| A collection of H. G. Wells science fiction. It's my first time reading any of his stories and I didn't realize they were written in the late 1800's. I've only heard reference to War of the Worlds from the radio drama and it was originally based in England. This has made it all the more interesting being that it was written so far ahead of the technology development. |
| The Storm on Our Shore. It's a combination of an American trained Japanese doctor on Attu and the American GI who slew him and recovered his diary. Decades later the GI finds the daugther and returns the diary to her. |

I had the same thought while reading Mary Shelley's The Last Man, written 1826. It is set in 2070 or something! They have airline systems of dirigible airships, but no electricity or other modern stuff. The Last Man is nicely written but somewhat of a disappointing apocalypse story... the damn plague doesn't appear until halfway through! Maybe all the early stuff will be important, but it seems very slow. Maybe she was being paid by the word. |
