Anything pre-civil war. Been reading history books since I was 7.

Dad born in 1926. Mom 1932. Neither one told any stories of really hard times. I never asked either, tho.

There’s a Canadian on here that would know one, can’t remember his name….
Trapping bois the last 2 years. Special forces and Nam biographies. I told Jim Shockey to write a bio, he said his new book “Call Me Hunter” is kinda based on him, but it’s fiction, I hate fiction books. The few hockey enforcer books I’ve read are good.
On a side note, why haven’t there been any good Vietnam movies in ages?

I read a lot of fur trade history, from the start of it in the East, on through the Great Lakes and into the mountains of the West. I try to read primary sources first (written by people who lived it at the time they lived it), followed by well researched secondary sources.

Any suggestions for Great Lakes, upper mississippi fur trade?

The Empire of the Summer Moon is supposed to be a good non-fiction book about the Comanches and their warrior ways. I haven’t read it yet but my nephew says it is very interesting.

American Revolution and Civil War.

This book has quite a bit. It starts with the earliest and goes through the mountain man era. Quite a bit in there about the upper Mississippi and Great lakes, Hudson Bay company, etc. It's very detailed and you won't read it all in one sitting that's for sure!

If you want to get really serious about reading about the Mountain men, this series is amazing. It's a commitment financially but they aren't printing any more of them. I paid a little less than this for mine.
