Captain Thomas Musgrave’s own journal of the wreck of the schooner Grafton on Auckland Island, south of New Zealand, on the third of January 1864 — twenty months ashore with his four companions: the house and the forge they built, the school and the Sabbath they kept, the seals they lived on, and at last the vessel they made themselves out of the wreck’s dinghy, lengthened and decked with island timber and iron of their own forging, which the captain sailed to Stewart Island in July 1865 to fetch help for the two men left behind — every man of the five lived — read aloud in Alan’s voice while Captain Musgrave himself, in the portrait printed in his book from James Brown’s photograph of 1865, stands talking on the stage, with his own sketch map of the islands and the engravings from his mate Raynal’s “Wrecked on a Reef” passing behind and “The Larboard Watch” of 1901 underneath.

Little Sure Shot in her own words — the most famous woman shot in the world tells her own life in a newspaper interview of 1919, printed with her words in quotation marks in her lifetime: her letter to President McKinley of 1898, the Wild West programme of 1893 that introduced her to the world, and the wire obituary of 1926 that closed her story — read aloud in Amy’s voice while Annie herself, in her Library of Congress portrait, stands talking on the stage, with the photographs of her own time around her.

The biography Capone himself read. In September 1930 — while Al Capone still ruled Chicago, a year before the tax trial that destroyed him — Chicago crime reporter Fred D. Pasley published the life of the Big Shot as it was happening: the barber-shop of the twenty-one shaving mugs, Colosimo and Torrio, the seizure of Cicero, and the beer wars at full blaze. Volume One carries Pasley’s Parts One through Four, whole, and closes on the crime that made Capone a national name — the St. Valentine’s Day Massacre — told three ways: by Pasley, by the era’s own photographic record, and by the newspapers America read the morning after, read aloud in Ryan’s voice with the labeled witnesses in Alan’s voice while Al Capone himself stands on the stage. 6 hours 26 minutes of narration. An honest word: this house’s rule is to take an author’s words only when he has been dead a hundred years — Fred Pasley died in 1951, seventy-five years ago — and this one book proceeds on the copyright door: the 1930 biography is public domain in the United States by publication year, with the margin printed in the open for every buyer to weigh.

In 1804 Captains Meriwether Lewis and William Clark led the Corps of Discovery from St. Louis up the Missouri, and home again in 1806 — some 8,000 miles of river, plain, and mountain. Volume One carries Paul Allen’s Preface, Thomas Jefferson’s memoir of Captain Lewis, and Book I, Chapters I–VII of the 1814 History: the departure from Wood River, the councils with the Osage, Oto, Sioux, Teton and Ricara, the Fort Mandan winter with the Mandans, and the spring setting-out of 1805 — read aloud in Alan’s voice while Captain Clark himself, from the portrait Peale painted from life, stands talking on the stage, with the expedition’s own maps and the Peale portraits in the gallery. 7 hours 38 minutes of narration. An honest word, printed on the book’s face as it is in its disclaimer: the words are Nicholas Biddle’s telling of Lewis and Clark’s own records — their journey, their observations, and their facts, in the prose of the man they chose to tell it; nothing has been added to the 1814 text, and nothing taken from it.
