Carl Jon Munson Libri

To Forge a Nation, historical fiction based on historical fact, tells the stories of seamen, soldiers, prospectors, churchmen, prostitutes, gamblers and lawmen forging American history during the Age of Immigration and western expansion when the U.S. immigrant population reached as high at 75% of total population. During the historical period between 1859 and 1918, minor characters and events often took historical center stage, while many significant characters and events were not recognized or their legacies forgotten. To Forge a Nation brings to life those latter events and characters.
