Colonel Roosevelt
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK • “Colonel Roosevelt is compelling reading, and [Edmund] Morris is a brilliant biographer who practices his art at the highest level. . . . A moving, beautifully rendered account.”—Fred Kaplan, The Washington Post This biography by Edmund Morris, the Pulitzer Prize– and National Book Award–winning author of The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt and Theodore Rex, marks the completion of a trilogy sure to stand as definitive.

Howards Grove, Wisconsin
Howards Grove began as two separate villages, Howards Grove and Millersville. Not until 1967 did the two unite into one incorporated village. Let us now step back to a time before any Europeans arrived when Indian villages could be found throughout Sheboygan County, including the area that would become Herman Township. In this township the Native American villages were mainly to be found along the banks of the Pigeon River. The year 1846 was an important year, for it marked the appearance of the first immigrants. They found their way up the Pigeon River and settled in the surrounding wilderness of what would become the township of Herman. This book traces the history of the village and area up until current times.
