Can anything bring a greater sense of awe than viewing a chain of mountains from afar? Observing a long line of craggy peaks spread across the horizon and rising upward into an azure skyline gives a special perspectives to what a mountain really is. Such sites provide memorable experiences that last a lifetime.. Hiking that same mountain chain provides another perspective to the mountains. The rough terrain, winding and hazardous paths, and sheer drop-off cliffs provide a totally different, if equally memorable perspective. There are dangers in walking in the midst of mountains. Mountains can be hazardous. So it is with politics. Democracy, too, is a beautiful thing. This nation embodies a near-perfect set of rules and guidelines devised by men that we call our founding fathers and embodied in a document we call a constitution. Our constitution, too, creates a sense of awe. Today, watching the daily machinations of politics; the, the process of voting, campaigning, maneuvering, the political intrigue and the oversized egos of so many of our politicians throughout the nation makes us wonder. Politics, too, has its craggy paths and steep cliffs that so many of us disdain. It, too has its precarious nature.. At no time since the civil war has the fractured nature of the nation been more obvious than in the current political scene. Democracy is under attack, in danger of being replaced by an autocratic form of government. The author of this book has lived through the presidency of 15 chief executives—that’s 84 years of presidency. Born in the mid-west into a Republican family of long-standing, McGill spent his early years cementing that early belief through family conversations and school classes listening to history and civic teachers. He developed the engrained belief that, somehow, the Republicans best served the needs of the American people. It was sometime during his college years that the author began the long shift from Republican to Democrat. McGill shares that transition even as he warns about the current political dangers threatening the future of the nation. There is an urgency to the book—a concern for the future the children of today. A recurring question in the book asks about the world the children and grandchild will inherit.

The Instant New York Times Besteller National Bestseller "[The] authors’ finest work to date." —Wall Street Journal The explosive true saga of the legendary figure Daniel Boone and the bloody struggle for America's frontier by two bestselling authors at the height of their writing power—Bob Drury and Tom Clavin. It is the mid-eighteenth century, and in the thirteen colonies founded by Great Britain, anxious colonists desperate to conquer and settle North America’s “First Frontier” beyond the Appalachian Mountains commence a series of bloody battles. These violent conflicts are waged against the Native American tribes whose lands they covet, the French, and the mother country itself in an American Revolution destined to reverberate around the world. This is the setting of Blood and Treasure, and the guide to this epic narrative is America’s first and arguably greatest pathfinder, Daniel Boone—not the coonskin cap-wearing caricature of popular culture but the flesh-and-blood frontiersman and Revolutionary War hero whose explorations into the forested frontier beyond the great mountains would become the stuff of legend. Now, thanks to painstaking research by two award-winning authors, the story of the brutal birth of the United States is told through the eyes of both the ordinary and larger-than-life men and women who witnessed it. This fast-paced and fiery narrative, fueled by contemporary diaries and journals, newspaper reports, and eyewitness accounts, is a stirring chronicle of the conflict over America’s “First Frontier” that places the reader at the center of this remarkable epoch and its gripping tales of courage and sacrifice.
Authors Bob Alexander and Donaly E. Brice grappled with several issues when deciding how to relate a general history of the Texas Rangers. Should emphasis be placed on their frontier defense against Indians, or focus more on their role as guardians of the peace and statewide law enforcers? What about the tumultuous Mexican Revolution period, 1910-1920? And how to deal with myths and legends such as One Riot, One Ranger? Texas Rangers: Lives, Legend, and Legacy is the authors’ answer to these questions, a one-volume history of the Texas Rangers. The authors begin with the earliest Rangers in the pre-Republic years in 1823 and take the story up through the Republic, Mexican War, and Civil War. Then, with the advent of the Frontier Battalion, the authors focus in detail on each company A through F, relating what was happening within each company concurrently. Thereafter, Alexander and Brice tell the famous episodes of the Rangers that forged their legend, and bring the story up through the twentieth century to the present day in the final chapters.
