What followed was the largest manhunt in the state’s history–more than a thousand men scouring mountains, forests, and rivers for answers that never came. His wife and two sons lived out their lives haunted by a single question: Did he die in the line of duty, or did he choose to disappear? Nearly ninety years later, one unexpected phone call shattered the silence–and reopened a mystery everyone thought was buried–Idaho’s oldest cold murder case.

Game Warden Art Teed vanished on a smoke-choked August day in 1934, last seen pursuing wildlife thieves in the backwoods of Idaho. What followed was the largest manhunt in the state’s history–more than a thousand men scouring mountains, forests, and rivers for answers that never came. His wife and two sons lived out their lives haunted by a single question: Did he die in the line of duty, or did he choose to disappear? Nearly ninety years later, one unexpected phone call shattered the silence–and reopened a mystery everyone thought was buried–Idaho’s oldest cold murder case.

They walked a thousand miles to find a harbor that didn't exist. They found San Francisco Bay instead. They didn't want it. In 1769, a Spanish expedition of sixty-four men left San Diego under orders to locate the harbor of Monterey. Their engineer, Miguel Costansó, kept a diary of measurements: distances, latitudes, the depth of every pool, the height of a dead grizzly bear. He did not record feelings. He recorded facts. The facts are these: the men walked for six months through canyons and mountains and fog. They ate their mules when the food ran out. Seventeen soldiers were crippled by ...

In the fall and winter of 1863, Union General Ambrose Burnside and Confederate General James Longstreet vied for control of the city of Knoxville and with it the railroad that linked the Confederacy east and west. The generals and their men competed, too, for the hearts and minds of the people of East Tennessee. Often overshadowed by the fighting at Chickamauga and Chattanooga, this important campaign has never received a full scholarly treatment. In this landmark book, award-winning historian Earl J. Hess fills a gap in Civil War scholarship.

The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is an institution defined by its light, yet its most enduring legend is born of the shadows. To walk the brick paths of the oldest public university in the nation is to tread upon layers of history that are both academic and spectral. While the university officially prizes the transparency of research and the democratic ideal of public education, there exists on its eastern edge a silent contradiction. There, atop the ridge of Piney Prospect, sits a stone for-tress that has guarded the secrets of a select few for over a century.

To understand the history of the Stewards is to attempt to grasp the shape of the wind. For nearly four centuries, this silent collective has operated beneath the surface of official histories, leaving behind no monuments, no signed treaties, and no public martyrs. While other secret societies like the Freemasons or the Rosicrucians eventually allowed their rituals to be cataloged and their symbols to be sold in gift shops, the Stewards remained committed to a much more difficult path: absolute, functional invisibility. They did not seek to be known, they sought to be effective.

Most gunfights in Tombstone did not begin in the street. They began in saloons. Inside smoky rooms where spoiled beer soaked into warped floorboards, gamblers slid crooked cards across sticky tables, and armed men watched each other beneath flickering lamplight. The Wild West we remember is mostly legend. Hollywood shows clean duels in empty streets and heroic gunfighters standing alone against outlaws. But the truth was far messier. Real frontier violence grew out of crowded saloons filled with alcohol, suspicion, wounded pride, and revolvers waiting inches from a man’s hand. In Gunsmoke...

Instead, it resides within a storied, once-shadowy organization known as Florida Blue Key (FBK).

It was just the trigger Orthodox Jewish activist Albert Lucas had been waiting for.

In the autumn of 1890, the wind sweeping across the gorges of Ithaca, New York, carried with it the whispers of a new era. Cornell University, then a young but rapidly ascending institution founded on the principles of egalitarianism and practical education, was becoming a fertile ground for a different kind of tradition. While the university’s founder, Ezra Cornell, had famously declared an intent to found an institution where "any person can find instruction in any study," a group of ambitious seniors sought to create a more exclusive echelon within that democratic framework.
