What really happened to America's most famous female aviator and her navigator as they made their world flight around the equator in 1937? Did her Lockheed Electra 10E run out of fuel and crash into the Pacific Ocean? Was it shot down during a spy mission over a secret naval base? Did Amelia Earhart and Fred Noonan survive an emergency landing only to be captured and imprisoned? Read the fascinating accounts by eyewitnesses and those who knew them! Author Donald Moyer Wilson has compiled stories, legends and testimonies from a great many sources, recorded through the years by priests, reporters and serious investigators. Step by step, story by story, Wilson builds a compelling case based on what residents of several Pacific Islands saw, heard and witnessed from that fateful day, July 2, 1937, whet Earhart vanished. Wilson's conclusions, based on the reports of more people than have previously appeared in a single book, are must reading for anyone searching for the solution to aviation's greatest mystery. Six pages of archival photographs; twenty pen and ink drawings of researchers and eyewitnesses, maps of the Pacific, detailed appendix and index.

Unknown to Dawn, her grandfather has shot an old swan out of mercy. In their coastal Alaskan town, her father buys the swan pelt, preventing her Uncle Alex, a fur trader, from selling it for export. Dawn’s father surprises her part-Aleut mother with a hat she helped to make and also with an idea to catch poachers. Shooting swans has become illegal but Alaska is a territory and Prohibition occupies the Sheriff. Dawn and her mother become involved with suspicious responses to the swan bonnet besides its haunting effect. Because Dawn’s grandparents see the swans first, Dawn agrees to secretly watch the migration with the Deputy Sheriff’s son. But after she and her mother encounter women from a ship and find out about a hunting party, they ride to the inlet. There are also townspeople roving the shore but who is the vigilante and who is the poacher?
