…with the 4th of July weekend upon us, what better thing than making some time for some heavy reading. Here are a list of titles, new books from the Browsing Collection, all on history. Admittedly, a list that is as much of a hodgepodge as the fare at a 4th of July picnic, but perhaps somewhere here an appetizing title?
