4/19/1775 the American revolutionary war and the events that led up to it and the battels that one it and the men who fought it who went on to be the founders and shapers of the nation.
what were their words and intents , their arguments for and against different decisions
it sets context for so much.
America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

War of 1812. I'm still looking for a book recommendation. 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?

Been watching "dates and dead guys" on YouTube lately, Great videos about the commanches, apaches, etc and their wars with settlers. 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.

Any suggestions for Great Lakes, upper mississippi fur trade? 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!
