There is no one simple answer to anything. So when i do write these books try to pick an era in American History. When i wrote about bonnie and clyde was really writing about the depression and growing up poor in the dust bowl. When i wrote about the gunfight at the o. K.

Corral, but the accidental shooting in an empty lot on fremont street just did not have the same sort of ring to it when the first people were going to write this history. I wanted to write about the settling of the last part of the american frontier, and about three and half years ago it occurred to me that a lot of that unique time in American History that we know as the late 1960s is either getting completely forgotten or else people are sort of putting their own little twist on it.

Would be no lawyer, no due process, no charges and potentially where they could be tortured forever and some of them died. It was just the most unamerican thing i have ever heard of. Id absolutely couldnt believe it was for real when i started out on this. The more i learned the more i realized it was a worldwide puzzle and there were reporters piecing little bits of it together which made it incredibly interesting. It all we ever had to go on and what has been accepted was what manson himself wants to tell people. Illegitimate son of a teenage prostitute mother who cared so little about her child that she once tried to sell him for a pitcher of beer, how is a child he was abused by the uncles she would have moved into their home one after another.

Former Ann Arbor News editor said down with us to discuss his book a boy governor. The youngest chief executive in any state history. A very young age, appointed territorial secretary at 19 which is a record that will probably never be broken. Another record was in 1835.
