Nonfiction - Published in 2003. Everyone knows about Paul Revere's midnight ride. But not everyone knows the harrowing details and narrow escapes that occurred along the way. This timeless and witty book highlights little-known facts about patriot Paul Revere.

What Was the Underground Railroad? | Yona Zeldis McDonough
Pickpick

nonfiction - published in 2013. No one knows where the term Underground Railroad came from--there were no trains or tracks, only “conductors“ who helped escaping slaves to freedom. Including real stories about “passengers“ on the “Railroad,“ this book chronicles slaves' close calls with bounty hunters, exhausting struggles on the road, and what they sacrificed for freedom.

I love a good Shakespeare reference. After Trump‘s meeting with Putin and disastrous news conference, John Bolton told Republican Senator Roy Blunt that Putin will always be Putin and took the opportunity to make this reference to Hamlet. #thedivider #vladimirputin #donaldtrump #peterbaker #susanglasser #ushistory #internationalpolitics #worldhistory #politicalscience #russia #unitedstates #johnbolton #hamlet

I like this quote. I don‘t want to lean one way or another with the quotes I choose, but I think this quote by Brendan Buck explains the state of Congress during the Trump presidency. #government #trump #thedivider #peterbaker #susanglasser #brendanbuck #houseofrepresentatives #politicalscience #uspolitics #congress #paulryan #donaldtrump #history #ushistory

We got a lot of hirings and firings in chapter 8. I don‘t know about you, but I definitely got a headache reading these. Knowing that Trump is going to be president again in a few short months, I want to know if you could give him advice on what to look for as he chooses his cabinet members, what would you tell him? What makes a good cabinet member? #donaldtrump #thedivider #peterbaker #susanglasser #presidency#presidentialcabinet #ushistory

A must-read. I enjoyed the audiobook narration by several contributors, authors, poets.
