by Ron Powers & Robert Morgan
|
|
 A hellraiser with a penchant for buzzing airfields, Bob Morgan fell for a Seattle beauty that would carry him through the war in Europe--a four-engined Boeing B-17F Flying Fortress. After falling in love with Margaret Polk of Memphis, Morgan named his new bomber after her--the Memphis Belle.

by Ron Powers & John Baldwin
|
|
As the Confederacy felt itself slipping beneath the Union juggernaut in late 1864, the South launched a desperate counteroffensive to shatter the U.S. economy and force a standoff. Its secret weapon? A state-of-the-art raiding ship whose mission was to prowl the world's oceans and sink the U.S. merchant fleet. The raider's name was Shenandoah, and her executive officer was Conway Whittle, a twenty-four-year-old warrior who might have stepped from the pages of Arthurian legend. Whittle would shar... more info>>

Mark Twain: A Life [Secure eReader (recommended)/Mobipocket/Microsoft Reader]
by Ron Powers
|
|
Mark Twain founded the American voice. His works are a living national treasury: taught, quoted, and reprinted more than those of any writer except Shakespeare. His awestruck contemporaries saw him as the representative figure of his times, and his influence has deeply flavored the 20th and 21st centuries. Yet somehow, beneath the vast flowing river of literature that he left behind--books, sketches, speeches, not to mention the thousands of letters to his friends and his remarkable entries in p... more info>>

Tom and Huck Don't Live Here Anymore: Childhood and Murder in the Heart of America [Secure eReader (recommended)]
by Ron Powers
|
|
 Something had gone terribly wrong in Hannibal, Missouri. Within the space of six weeks, two killings--a manslaughter and then a murder--had taken place in the town that Mark Twain consecrated in his timeless classics about boyhood, the town that so proudly called itself "America's Home Town." Both were committed by adolescents. Ron Powers felt compelled to revisit Hannibal. He had grown up there, and news of the crimes violated his faith in the town as an American sanctuary.
