David Crockett

The subject of stage plays, books, movies and one of the most popular television series of all time (with a theme song that millions of Americans can instantly sing along with from the very first word), he really was the King of the Wild Frontier. And he was so much more.  
Davy Crockett remains one of the most iconic Americans of any era. But who was Davy Crockett, really? To answer that question we go straight to the source. The man we call Davy was known in his time as David and even before his final adventures the legend was already overshadowing the man. So Crockett decided to set the record straight by telling his own story, in his own words.  
A Narrative of the Life of David Crockett of Tennessee takes us back to the beginning of the story with Crockett's parents. He shares his adventures in growing up, leaving home, hunting bear, courting ladies, building and losing business ventures, serving under Andrew Jackson in war and opposing President Jackson's policies in Washington, D.C.

Fagan of Hoboken & the Horseshoe...

Nicholas Fagan Dealy

Declaring that you would rather cut your own throat than meet with the Democratic machine boss to talk out your differences was not the usual way to become Mayor of Hoboken in New Jersey’s Hudson County of the 1890s. But that’s exactly what Lawrence Fagan did, prior to winning the job for the first time in 1893.
A Democrat but independent in actions and views, Fagan served four consecutive terms during the city’s period of peak immigration and population growth. Efforts toward reforming a loosely run police force and officiating the fighting forces of temperance and a swelling saloon industry occupied much of his time in office, a tenure also shaped by an apocalyptic harbor and steamship fire in 1900.
In addition to being a politician, Fagan was an ironmaster. He ran an ironworks in the rugged Horseshoe section of neighboring Jersey City, where he took a very hands-on approach to business. On one occasion, Fagan determined that a labor union representative had called on his foundry for purposes of extortion. Fagan made his view on this matter clear and responded with his fists. When summoned by a court of law to answer for the assault, Fagan’s testimony was frank and explicit. He freely acknowledged punching the plaintiff. “Had I been excessively angry at the time,” explained Fagan, “the punishment would have been more severe.”
Fagan was also an owner of a newspaper, The Observer, which had grown to become New Jersey’s most influential Democratic publication by 1910. The apogee of Fagan’s interest in the newspaper business coincided with the launch of Woodrow Wilson’s career in politics. As Wilson campaigned to be Governor of New Jersey, he encountered a peculiar truth: The road to the governor’s mansion in Trenton went through Hudson County’s “Elysian Fields of politics,” and therefore through Lawrence Fagan.

The hilarious tell-all memoir by the first winner of RuPaul's Drag Race Down Under 
  
Hailing from a sleepy eastern suburb of Auckland, Nick Nash grew up feeling like he stood out for all the wrong reasons. It wasn't until he experimented with the art of drag that he found freedom in his fierce and confident alter-ego, Kita Mean.

Bursting with outrageous style and cheek, Life in Lashes is a memoir of a lost boy who found salvation as a drag queen, learned to love herself, and went on to share her fabulousness with the world.
