The River of Doubt: Theodore Roosevelt's Darkest Journey by Candice Millard
Ann Riddle, January 11, 2007
The River of Doubt is a great read! The information that accompanies the finds of Roosevelt that give the scientific info of each species, as we know it today, make it a natural science text with all the excitement of a true life adventure.(6 of 13 readers found this comment helpful)
The Children's Blizzard by David Laskin
Ann Riddle, January 11, 2007
I selected this book for my Book Club for the month of January for the obvious reason...to be thankful for a nice warm place to read a book and the fact that I was a child in southwestern NE. in the 40s and 50s. There was a blizzard in 1949 that rivaled the 1888. My group likes historical non-fiction and we are from NE. and IA. we have a lot of weather-related stories to tell and the subject of this book is very poignant. I've recommended it to another library book club that I am a member of. Thank you for it, Mr. Laskin.(4 of 6 readers found this comment helpful)
