Welcome to the Topeka & Shawnee County Public Library

James Sturm’s America: God, Gold, and Golems.

This beautifully illustrated graphic novel perfectly captures three snapshots in America’s history. Comprised of three chapters—“The Revival,” “Hundreds of Feet Below Daylight,” and “The Golem’s Mighty Swing”, this book takes you from religious pioneers searching for a homestead, to a mining town full of ghosts and greed, and finally the travels and tribulations of a pre-depression Jewish baseball team. You will be fascinated by the story and pictures, and don’t worry, it reads nothing like a history text. Check out James Sturm's America: God, Gold, and Golems today!
