Historia
It was one of the most searing images of the twentieth century: two young boys, two princes, walking behind their mother’s coffin as the world watched in sorrow—and horror. As Princess Diana was laid to rest, billions wondered what Prince William and Prince Harry must be thinking and feeling—and how their lives would play out from that point on.

A shame that they were treated so badly, good for them to get out while they still could have a life.

Historia
Cesar D’Angelo was 10 when his father was killed in the mines. Cesar, the oldest boy in his family, had to take his father’s place working for the coal company. His first job was working high up in the dangerous coal breakers. At the age of 12, he went down into the blackish, coal dusted mines to begin his long mining career. His first job was sitting in the dark alone for 10 to 12 hours a day as a door keeper. Later he became a spragger, mule driver, and had various other jobs until becoming a lifetime coal miner.

My Family History
Revisado: 09-06-22
This book does an excellent job of stitching together the history of the anthracite coal industry in NEPA. My grandfather worked in the mines for his whole life after coming here from Poland and I never knew the stories that were revealed in this book. Anyone who had relatives who were miners should read this one , I am glad I did. It opened my eyes to my family history in a very welcome way that makes me appreciate my family even more than I did.

Historia
Ronald Kitchen was 21, on his way to buy milk for his four-year-old, when he was picked up by the Chicago police, brutally tortured, and coerced to confess to five counts of heinous murder. He spent 22 years in prison, 13 of those on death row, labeled as a monster. Kitchen was only one of the many victims of Jon Burge and his notorious Midnight Crew that terrorized and incarcerated Black men - 118 have come forward so far - on the south side of Chicago for nearly two decades.

A story that I wish was unbelievable.
Revisado: 06-03-22
This was an amazing expose of the corrupt police in Chicago , I wish that it was fiction but unfortunately it is not. The research that went into this had to be a huge undertaking but the t’s were crossed and the i’s were all dotted correctly . It is my hope that this story helps to alleviate any future situation that may present itself but I hope with a bit of doubt. I can hope!

Historia
A new edition of a sports icon's memoir, coinciding with the 50th anniversary of Kathrine Switzer's historic running of the Boston Marathon as the first woman to run. In 1967, Kathrine Switzer was the first woman to officially run what was then the all-male Boston Marathon, infuriating one of the event's directors who attempted to violently eject her. In one of the most iconic sports moments, Switzer escaped and finished the race. She made history - and is poised to do it again on the 50th anniversary of that initial race, when she will run the 2017 Boston Marathon at age 70.

Historia
Scottie Pippen has been called one of the greatest NBA players for good reason. Simply put, without Pippen, there are no championship banners - let alone six - hanging from the United Center rafters. There’s no Last Dance documentary. There’s no “Michael Jordan” as we know him. The 1990s Chicago Bulls teams would not exist as we know them. So how did the youngest of 12 go from growing up poor in the small town of Hamburg, Arkansas, enduring two family tragedies along the way, to become a revered NBA legend?

Pip feels he gets no credit and he holds a grudge.
Revisado: 11-24-21
Pippen was an excellent player who had to live in the shadow of MJ but in spite of that became one of the best ever. Basketball is a team sport and it takes 5 guys to excel in a prescriptive process . Neither Pippen nor Jordan would have been so great without each other. I learned that both of their egos were way too big. Interesting take on a career that I watched every day in Chicago.

We need people like McCabe desperately. People need to stand up to this president before he grows that little mustache, he is as bad as the last guy with that little mustache. God help the USA. And go see BlackKlansman too, it shows what is happening . Stop the madman soon.

Historia
In The Forgotten, Ben Bradlee, Jr., reports on how voters in Luzerne County, a pivotal county in a crucial swing state, came to feel like strangers in their own land - marginalized by flat or falling wages, rapid demographic change, and a liberal culture that mocks their faith and patriotism.

Revisado: 11-05-18
Being from the NEPA area and having left there permanently in 1978 this was an eye opener. People were not like this when I lived there. I guess Trump emboldened racists to act on their thoughts, really sad. I am struggling to understand this, it is really bothering me. I hope I can understand why and I hope that this mindset goes away. We are all people and , oh well, I just do not understand or condone this approach.

Historia
For Rich Cohen and millions of other fans, the Chicago Cubs have always been more than a team: they've been the protagonists of a King Arthur epic, in search of the Holy Grail that is winning the World Series. A chronicle of the last few miraculous seasons as experienced through the prism of Cubs history, The Chicago Cubs tracks the famous curse, which was placed on the team in 1945 by the infamous owner of the Billy Goat Tavern, who was ejected from Wrigley Field when he tried to bring his goat into the grandstand for the fifth game of the World Series.

108 years later...
Revisado: 10-24-18
What can be said when a team goes 108 years between World Series wins, that is one year for every stitch on a baseball or a very long time! Good for the cubs and good for Mr Cohen the author not only for a good book but for being able to cleanse his mental makeup before he like so many others passed on into immortality having never witnessed a cubs team winning just once!
