I was born in 1945 so I loved reading about what was going on in the world I was about to join.
This book is incredibly informative. It provided for a fabulous book club discussion.

I bought this for my history class and I like learning about history so I thought this book was quite interesting. It is well written and contains a lot of information. Each section has an opening paragraph explaining what the section will be about. At the end of each section there is a small overview repeating the main points. Same with each chapter.

This volume of historical events is very clear and concise without excessive and unnecessary drawn out details. It provides the information you really need. I like that it reads well and holds my attention unlike other history books. I feel that this book will be one of my favorites and I am glad I found it on Amazon.

I have an enormous interest in reading about history, especially concerning the area I have spent a lot of time in over the past 25 years plus of my life.  This is a very engrossing book filled with a lot of information about life when settling was moving forward and vistas were opening up.  If you are a history buff of sorts, this is a great read.

I love the fact that this book is filled with so much history.  There are letters from the monuments men to their wives which gives such a personal side of the war.  I never knew this side of WWII until I heard about the book.  I was slightly disappointed that art treasures in Italy weren't included in the book, but learned that Mr. Edsel will be coming out with another book specifically about the monuments men's work in Italy.  I will be reading that also!

I purchased this book because I was doing genealogical research and found that there was an entire chapter written about my great grandmother and her family. While this is not the most well written book I have ever read, it is full of interesting information and was tremendously helpful to me in researching my family history. The woman who wrote it obviously had a passion for sharing the story of The Shaniko People and it is a genuinely pleasant read. It is full of information on the town, how it was founded, many of the families that lived there, and just general information that paints a vivid picture of what life must have been like in this little Oregon town. There are a lot of photos throughout the book and even some excerpts taken directly from the diary pages of a woman who lived there.

If you are interested in learning more about the town of Shaniko, I would highly recommend reading this book. It is a quick read and full of valuable information if you are researching your family roots in this area of Oregon.

The Da Vinci Code made me curious about the Knights Templar and George Smart's book provides a huge amount of information about a fascinating historical period.  The bibliography will be invaluable for further reading.

This book is HUGE!  It is probably 3 inches thick and has lots of interesting facts, photos, historical documents, etc.  Incredible amount of info for the price.  I have been reading individual Presidential biographies.  This will give me a "Cliff's Notes" approach to the Presidents and then I can go back and read individual biographies later about the Presidents that particularly interest me.

It's amazing how much information is contained in this book.  The photos are wonderful, the type easy to read, and the glossy pages make it feel like a much more expensive coffee table book.  Some descriptions of historical hardships get bogged down with too many details like people's names who were in charge of bankruptcy proceedings etc which, I found, confuse the backgrounds.  But that's a nitpick.  Overall, this gives railfans and model railroaders a wealth of information on so many hard-to-remember fallen flags that you'll find yourself re-reading the book in no time; there is THAT much interesting to read.  Well done TRAINS!

This book has a profusion of wonderful old photos, most of which are in sepia and a few are color-tinted.  Also, the written information is very informative.

Great historical reference. Researching family history and found a lot of good info.  Very dense read though but a lot about Germantown migration that you won't find in other sources.
