Iowa | A few of the best that I read last year:
Mighty Fitz: The Sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald by Michael Schumacher
The Mysterious Case of Rudolf Diesel by Douglas Brunt
Destiny of the Republic by Candice Millard - about the short presidency and assassination of James Garfield.
The Last Time Around Cape Horn by William F. Stark - who knew that they were still hauling freight from Australia to Europe post-WW2 using sailing ships??
Empire of the Summer Moon by S.C. Gwynn - story of Quanah Parker and the Comanches
Endurance: Shackleton's Incredible Voyage by Alfred Lansing - how those guys survived is amazing
The River of Doubt by Candice Millard - Theodore Roosevelt's exploration of an unknown tributary of the Amazon.
