Erie ex-pat and prolific non-fiction author Dr. Craig von Buseck was our Friday guest leading into the Labor Day weekend. Dr. Von Buseck is known for his book about another Erie native Harry T. Burleigh, titled Nobody Knows : The Forgotten Story of One of the Most Influential Figures in American Music. Our conversation covered his book from 2019, I Am Cyrus: Harry S. Truman and the Rebirth of Israel, which has been nominated for several book awards. Craig also introduced his upcoming biography on President Ulysses S. Grant entitled Victor! The Final Battle of Ulysses S. Grant, and a future project for two more Erie-related books on Col. Strong Vincent, and Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry.
