American History Buffs discussion

Use this discussion thread to recommend NONFICTION books or author's to the group!

Recently read "Death of an Empire–the rise and murderous fall of Salem, America's richest city." Very informative and enlightening. As a student of the early colonial period and a anything about Salem, MA I found this book extremely enjoyable. Would recommend it to everyone!!!

One of my favorite non-fiction books is The Fourth Part of the World: An Astonishing Epic of Global Discovery, Imperial Ambition, and the Birth of Americaby Toby Lester. I'm currently reading We Are the Revolutionists: German-Speaking Immigrants and American Abolitionists after 1848by Mischa Honeck . Highly recommend both.
