This month, we’re discussing Bill Bryson’s One Summer: America, 1927. The inimitable writer of humorous travelogues takes a deep dive into a few eventful months during the Roaring ’20s, when Charles Lindbergh, Sacco and Vanzetti, Herbert Hoover, and Babe Ruth shared the headlines. 

Real People/Real Stories meets the third Thursday of each month and explores the best in nonfiction history, biography, science, nature, and the arts.
