Hands Up, Don’t Shoot
Ulysses Mcdowell
About the Book

Hands Up, Don’t Shoot is an account of my initial travel to Ferguson, MO in August 2014 to visit the site where Michael Brown – another unarmed Black person – was killed by a police officer. In March of 2020, Breonna Taylor was killed by police. Then in May of 2020, George Floyd was killed by police, and like the Brown killing, I felt compelled to visit his death site because his death shocked the conscience of the world and began a movement not seen since the Civil Rights era. In August of 2020, Jacob Blake was killed by police.

Theodore Roosevelt’s Arizona Boys
Marty F. Feess
About the Book
Theodore Roosevelt reinvented the presidency for the twentieth century with his use of the “bully pulpit” and his emphasis on the “square deal.” In so doing he enlivened American politics and made the federal government relevant for the common man. This was nowhere more true than in the southwest which had provided his famous Rough Riders. A great many former Rough Riders gained political appointment in Arizona after Roosevelt became president. This book is about the unique relationship between Roosevelt and his Rough Riders in Arizona and how Arizona politics and Roosevelt’s administration and career were affected. Many of the characters are colorful and these true stories are rich in hope, humor, and humanity.
