David Bristow

I often say that I write history for people who think they don't like history. If you like a good story, that's close enough, because history is full of great stories. My first book, A Dirty Wicked Town, is a look at the colorful past of my own little corner of the world. My latest book, Sky Sailors: True Stories of the Balloon Era, is written for middle grade readers (though adults enjoy these stories as well). Learn more about the balloon era at www.davidbristow.com
