SLAG & The Golden Age of Lead-Silver Ore
SLAG tells the story of western mining and smelting, from the introduction of professional engineers like the author’s great great grandfather Anton Eilers during the Civil War, through its Wild West years, and into its Trust years. The story ends with a highly public showdown over control of ASARCO in the early 1920s—the second largest employer at the time—between the author’s great grandfather, Karl Eilers, and the famous Guggenheim family.
The Amber Panels of Konigsberg
The Amber Panels of Konigsberg combines the fast pace of ‘National Treasure’ with the smarts of the ‘Da Vinci Code’ to create a modern thriller grounded in the real life disappearance of the Amber Panels, one of the greatest art mysteries of WWII.
