Typically I find books like these to be full of one and a half page synopses of events that have been so belabored that there can be absolutely nothing interesting left to know about them. This book surprised me as, while most of the events were typical overly-done and belabored ones, I learned something new, sometimes many new things, from each one. The anecdotes were well written and interesting with lengthy bibliographical info for each event. I felt like this could be a really good book for launching research on any of the given subjects. I'm glad I read it!

An interesting look at the mysteries of America - lost colony of Roanoke, etc. along with reading lists if you're interested in finding out more. Reminded me somewhat of the TV show, Digging for the Truth.

Short synopsis of various US mysteries. Author obviously forms his own opinion/judgment in some cases, and in others proof of a verdict has been reached independently. A FUN book to read.
