Alexander Mckee - the Great White Elk
Alexander McKee, a mixed-blood British agent, was one of the few individuals in history able to unite Indians and exert unbelievable leadership on their behalf. When the War for Independence broke out between the Colonies and the British, McKee chose to remain loyal to his mother country, and assumed a major role on the American frontier. Because of his selfless devotion to the British and the Native Americans, he forfeited massive real estate and social standing when he left his Pittsburgh mansion to organize Indian raids on the American frontier, for which he was branded a traitor by the Continental Congress. This exciting and well-researched book sheds new light on McKees role in history as he maneuvered British frontier policy and promoted the interests of the beleaguered Native Americans. Its little wonder that the Natives called McKee The Great White Elk.

Ice Crash
A fascinating and detailed account of the disaster that struck the airship Italia in the Arctic in 1928. Perfect for readers of Alec Wilkinson, Martin W Sandler, Buddy Levy and Valerian Albanov. By 1928, pioneering aviator, aeronautical engineer, and Arctic explorer General Umberto Nobile had already completed one successful long-distance flight in an airship to the Arctic. The Norge, designed and piloted by Nobile, had been the first aircraft to fly across the polar ice cap from Europe to America and may even have been the first to reach the North Pole. Convinced that dirigibles rather than aeroplanes were the future for air travel, Nobile set out in the airship Italia for a second ambitiou...
The Mckee Family History of Noble County, Ohio
David McKee is known as the progenitor of the McKee family of Noble County, Ohio; however, with our current lifestyles and social terms, Martha, David's wife, may well be included in this status. David died rather suddenly in 1815, leaving Martha to raise and oversee their family as they continued to live in the wilderness. David and Martha were together for twenty-eight years. They had seven sons and two daughters, who went on to prosper in the local community. Several McKee descendants continue to live in Noble County today. They too follow the same family values that David and Martha instilled in their sons and daughters. They were a pioneer settler family, who were of the front line of defense against the native Indians as trouble took place.
Death Raft
In July 1816, the French frigate Medusa ran aground on a sandbar 40 miles off the coast of Senegal. Forced to abandon ship by the captain, 150 men and women embarked on a makeshift raft so overloaded that they were up to their hips in water. But their ordeal was only beginning ...
