When the U.S.S. battleship Maine mysteriously exploded in Havana harbor on February 15, 1898, it set off the Spanish-American War, that "splendid little war" which forever changed the United States'' position among nations. "Remember the Maine!" was the outraged public''s call for battle, but here it is a call to remember the seemingly star-crossed ship and the more than 260 young men who perished with it. Author John Edward Weems tells the story of the ship from beginning to explosive end, with the help of the Maine''s survivors, whom he interviewed in 1957. The text of this edition has not been revised, for good reason. Since the book''s first publication in 1958, no conclusive evidence of what caused the fatal explosion has ever been found.

Dream of Empire is the story of the decade in which Texas was a sovereign nation, one of the most dramatic and least-known episodes in the history of this continent.

"By beginning where the standard works leave off and carrying the story up to its logical conclusion in 1865, this book fills a definite void in the history of the fur trade in the American West. Set in the upper Missouri country, which was bypassed by settlement until the 1860s, it focuses primarily upon the St. Louis firm of Pierre Chouteau, Jr., and Company, usually known as the American Fur Company....This is not the distorted and romanticized approach so typical of much of the literature on the earlier fur trade. Drama is inherent, but it is sound, well-conceived, carefully documented history."-American Historical Review
