Book Description
Not Just Any Bag of Bones is more than just an autobiography; its a testament to the indomitable spirit that was Jonathan Studebaker. Throughout his life, Jonathan wanted to be a normal human being and not just another person stuck in a wheelchair. Although he never played competitive sports, Jonathan was as much an athlete as any who wore a jersey. Although he never realized his dream to become an NFL coach, he came darn close. This book may make you want to cry for Jonathan, but perhaps even for yourself. You will learn first-hand what its like to be physically disabled and dependent on others for the living of your life. You will feel the pain people with severe disabilities go through on a daily basis. You will see through the eyes of someone who wanted access to everything able-bodied folk simply take for granted. You will be forced to get off whatever pity pot you may be sitting on and begin to live your own life to the fullest. Whether youre a sports fan or not, there is something in this book for you.

Book Description
Completing J. North Conway’s widely acclaimed trilogy of Gilded Age New York City Crime—following King of Heists and The Big Policeman—Bag of Bones combines the era’s affluence, decadence, and corruption with a gruesome deed fit for the tabloids of today. In 1878, the body of multi-millionaire A. T. Stewart was stolen from St. Mark’s Churchyard. The ghoulish crime, the chase for the culprits, the years-long ransom negotiations, and the demise of the Stewart retail empire fed a media frenzy. When the widow Stewart eventually exchanged $20,000 for a burlap bag of bones on a country road, not everyone was convinced that the remains were truly those of “The Merchant Prince of Manhattan,” the department store pioneer who had risen from the flood of Irish immigration to a place alongside names like Astor, Vanderbilt, and Rockefeller. As Bag of Bones details the futile tactics used by police to identify the grave robbers, it also unveils the villainy of Judge Henry Hilton, the Stewart family advisor who not only interfered in the case repeatedly but also dismantled a once-great business empire . . . all the while profiting quite nicely. By the end of this fascinating slice of history, one is left to wonder who displayed the greater evil: the grave robbers or Judge Hilton.
