American Shooter – A Personal History of America’s Gun Culture

A historic narrative of the history of America's gun culture interwoven with the experiences of a 50 year veteran of that culture, Souter accepts the label,
"A Liberal in the NRA." Its text walks a line between the warring factions of pro-gun bullying and anti-gun lunacy, discovering a third path between the two camps. America's shooting sportsmen and women deserve a better reawakening of a 300-year tradition. Once a disconnect is made between weapons of war and the exciting possibilities of nationally recognized shooting sports, the media and the political finger-pointers on both sides can relax and participate in the rich heritage that builds character, respect and a keen eye.

The Burlington Zephyrs

The Burlington Zephyrs is a technical study of invention and development that looks at the series of streamlined trains created in 1934, which set speed records and changed the way passenger trains and modern aircraft would be built in the future. The Burlington Zephyrs were the definition of "streamlining" and gave Americans hope during the Great Depression that their country faced an optimistic future.

Author, historian, and train expert Gerry Souter enhances his informative historical survey with 100 color and 200 black/white photographs, making "Burlington Zephyrs' a core addition to personal and academic Railroading History reference collections and supplemental reading lists.
