The Capture of the USS Pueblo

The Incident, the Aftermath and the Motives of North Korea

By: James Duermeyer

For President Lyndon Johnson, 1968 was a year of calamity, including the hijacking of the USS Pueblo in international waters off North Korea. After a fierce attack by the North Korean Navy, the lightly armed spy ship was captured and its 83 crewmen taken hostage, imprisoned and tortured for nearly a year before being released. How and why did the Navy, the National Security Agency and the Johnson administration place the Pueblo in such an untenable situation? What drove Kim Il-sung, North Korea's autocrat, to gamble on hijacking a ship belonging to the world's most powerful nation? Drawing on extensive research, including summaries of White House meetings and conversations, the author answers these questions and reviews the events and flawed decisions that led to Pueblo's capture.

Singing Creek

By: James Duermeyer

Award winning author James Duermeyer continues the saga of lawman Nathan Wolf in this exciting story of the old West. His story is set in the period following reconstruction in America’s history, when former Southern slaves migrated to Kansas to pursue the dream of owning their own land. But the reputation of “bloody Kansas” was still alive, with disreputable outlaws creating evil havoc in this gripping novel of the old West. Nathan Wolf has moved from Iowa to southeast Kansas to become a U.S. Marshal and marry the beautiful and indomitable Claire May. Barely into the job, Marshal Wolf is confronted with multiple crimes. Are they connected? Cattle rustling, extortion, bank robbery, and a twenty-year-old cold case murder of two black settlers keep Wolf and the reader guessing. As if that was not enough to hand to the lawman, a kidnapping is thrown into the mix for good measure. Wolf, a lawman of strong character, investigative skills, and intuition, must dig to the bottom of the crimes while narrowly escaping the attempts on his life and the lives of his new wife and family at the hands of a ruthless gang. Singing Creek is the second book in the Nathan Wolf series, following Trail of the Outlaw.

Trail of the Outlaw

By: James Duermeyer

Chronicles of the American frontier recount innumerable stories of the men and women who brought honor to themselves as they contributed to winning the west. In this work of historical fiction, character Henry Vogler was one who chose to take his place in the annals of the American West with guile and malevolence. From a lineage of dishonest bastards, Henry grew from boyhood to manhood being educated by the street hoodlums and grifters with whom he associated. From the time he was seventeen years of age, Henry Vogler was a wanted man, pursued by the law and law-abiding citizens who attempt to administer swift and final justice to the outlaw. Trail of the Outlaw is an exciting story that will keep you interested and turning pages to discover what happens next, and is a silver medal award winner from the Independent Publishers under its original title The Bastard Trail. James Duermeyer continues to display his story-telling skill as he places the reader into the life of an American frontier outlaw, a man with virtually no redeeming qualities. Through the gritty life of the outlaw, we meet a colorful cast of characters, several of whom suffer at the hands of Vogler. Unlike many other western tales, Trail of the Outlaw follows the life of an outlaw, while sharing the lives of individuals he encounters along the way. Duermeyer’s clever introduction of a love story into the novel may lead the reader to recall two characters who also appeared in his second novel, Flint Bluff (a 2013 Silver Medal winner in the Independent Publishers Book Awards). A great frontier/Western read.

The novel is an extraordinary saga following three generations in the lives of several families as they settle a frontier community along the Mississippi River, which would become the city of Burlington, Iowa.

You will meet European immigrants, Native Americans, and African Americans as they all make their way in this new community. Based on true historical events of the era, this richly detailed fictional story follows key figures of two families as they grow and face tremendous challenges, including Indian attacks, outlaws, the growing pains of the frontier town, participation in the siege of Vicksburg during Civil War, as well as strained family dynamics. The author skillfully incorporates events of humor, character-building, pathos, love, war, crime, and spirituality in this exciting, entertaining, and informative read that you will surely enjoy.

Around Troy Hill, Spring Hill, and Reserve Township

By: James W. Yanosko,Edward W. Yanosko

The Reserve Tract across from Fort Pitt was set aside in the 1780s by the government of Pennsylvania as a way of raising funds to pay the troops who had served during the American Revolutionary War. Although many areas in the commonwealth were set aside like this, few grew to such prominence as the distinct neighborhoods of Troy Hill, Spring Garden, Spring Hill, and Mount Troy. German and Croatian immigrants flocked to the area on the outskirts of Allegheny City, and along with them came their customs, religions, skills, and traditions. They helped build a nation by providing steel, leather products, food, and even beer; their spirit and work ethic set a standard that many Americans to this day try to emulate. The Heinz complex, the old E&O Brewery, St. Anthony's Chapel, Most Holy Name Church, and the Teutonia Mannerchor are several of the local landmarks that were established generations ago and are still being utilized today.

Heroes in Obscurity

By: James Duermeyer

Heroes in Obscurity is a sincere, joyful look at a U.S. Navy officer's service on least of these classes of ships during the Vietnam era. His memory of that time is sharp, and his stories of those years are very engaging. Whether the reader is an armchair warrior or one who has served, or is serving, this book offers a candid, humble and humorous account of a young naval officer's experiences at sea and ashore while obtaining his qualifications for greater rank and responsibility. Jim Duermeyer served on three active duty ships, ships that were not large or famous, ships that did their actual hard work every day, ships that caused young officers to mature rapidly. Photos.
