As ambitious as her husband, William Howard Taft, Helen Herron may be the most underrated of all our First Ladies. She encouraged Taft in all his political accomplishments and he may not have become president without her. He preferred the judiciary and eventually became Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. Helen (Nellie) Taft was the first wife of a president to ride down Pennsylvania Avenue with her husband on inauguration day and the only woman who was wife of both a president and a chief justice. She is best known for working with the wife of the Japanese Ambassador to import and plant more than 3,000 cherry trees around the Washington Tidal Basin. Witty, intelligent, open-minded, and curious about the world, she is even today beloved in the Philippines, where her husband served as head of the civil government in 1900. She and her husband courted criticism for including Filipinos in social affairs. In this volume, she recounts her full life as partner to U.S. President William Howard Taft.

This is not the memoir of just any old cowboy. This is Notre Dame-educated Frank Hastings, at one time known to nearly every cattleman in the United States. Hastings early 20th century book on the ranching and packing industries is all at once fascinating, well-written, and often humorous. Born during the American Civil War, he has a boy's memories of that period but the meat of this book, so to speak, is the cattle industry and early ranching. He relates wonderful stories not only of the cattle industry but of famous people he knew, cowboys, Civil War stories, the origins of famous breeds, and more. For the first time, this long out-of-print volume is available as an affordable, well-formatted book for e-readers and smartphones. Be sure to LOOK INSIDE by clicking the cover above. Buy it today!

One of the most remarkable books to come out of the immediate aftermath of the American Civil War was William F.G. Shank's book on the generals he observed up close and personal all during the war. As a correspondent for Harper's Magazine and the New York Herald, Shank followed through camp and battle, seeing the strengths but also the foibles and failings of some of our most prominent Union leaders. Shank does not shy from including illuminating details that he was later told may have offended the subjects of his treatments. But he is admiring of the men he met and admirably creates portraits of Grant, Sherman, Sheridan, Rousseau, Thomas, Hooker, and others that you will not read elsewhere. As he states in the preface: "Very few generals have appeared great to the war correspondents; and though very few of the latter can claim to be descendants of Diogenes, they can assert, with equal positiveness, that very few of the generals have been Alexanders, and that 'the very sun shines through them.'" An interesting note included about Rousseau (one of our least written-about generals) is that during his legal career, he successfully tried a veritable "To Kill a Mockingbird" case. No student of the war should be without this volume. For the first time, this long-out-of-print book is available as an affordable, well-formatted book for e-readers and smartphones.

Captain William Parker's autobiography provides a unique insight into the United States Navy of the mid-19th century during an era when the Age of the Sail was coming to an end and the advent of steam power and ironclads was beginning. He entered the U.S. navy as a midshipman on the 19th day of October, 1841, being then fourteen years of age, on a ship under Commodore Perry. It is also the story of a man who served two governments in his career. In this witty, articulate memoir, Parker tells the good and the bad about the convulsion that tore the country apart in the American Civil War. At the end of the war, he was only 38 years old but out of a job, as he had lent his talents to the Confederacy. This long forgotten work is a pleasure to read for anyone interested in the Civil War and the changing times during the mid 19th century. For less than you'd spend on gas going to the library, this long out-of-print volume is available as an affordable, well-formatted book for e-readers and smartphones.
