Join us at Henry’s Books in Spearfish on Saturday February 15 from 12:00 PM to 2:00 PM for a book signing with local author Brad McKim as he shares his most recent works with us.About the Author:
Raised in Southern California, Brad McKim spent thirty years as a lawyer living in Colorado, Texas, Alaska and London, England. Through his work and love for travel he has visited all 50 states and over 75 countries. In 2015 he retired from the practice of law to pursue other passions including his lifelong interest in presidential history. His historical novels, A Presidents Story (published by History Publishing Company out of New York) and A Presidents Story Too (Outskirts Press), are the result. Brad now lives in Wyoming with his wife Kay.
About the Books:
In the wake of the Civil War, fourteen men will succeed Abraham Lincoln and attempt to reunify the United States. As their personal tales intertwine and overlap on their way to the Presidency, they defer to Congress until it is clear that Democrats and Republicans are more concerned with the prerogatives of power and patronage than Lincoln’s pledge of freedom and opportunity for all Americans. The 19th-century Presidents battle with Congress to reform how jobs and other benefits are dispensed, while the Presidents of the early 20th century find themselves presiding over a country that has transitioned from an agricultural economy—supported by slave and immigrant labor—to an industrial economy generating the wealth that thrusts the country onto the world stage. Through it all, the Presidents continue the novel practice of handing over power peacefully, even in the face of a Depression that will challenge the United States’ newfound status as a world power.
