I recently finished Blood and Thunder by Hampton Sides and was absolutely riveted, what a great book. It’s made me want to read more about this period of American history: Western expansion, Manifest Destiny, the Pioneers, exploration and the experience of the Native American tribes…basically the period between the Revolutionary War and the Civil War. Any recommendations on books that take a comprehensive look at this period?
A couple that I’ve had my eye on are Undaunted Courage and Dreams of El Dorado…just wondering if there are “must reads” I’m missing. Thank you!
