I liked the book Long Knife by James Alexander Thom. It is the story of George Rogers Clark, the older brother of William Clark (Lewis and Clark expedition). Thom also wrote From Sea to Shining Sea about Lewis and Clark. I also thought that was a good book. |

Citizen Washington - William Martin Dark Eagle: A Novel of Benedict Arnold and the American Revolution - John Ensor Harr Shadowbrook: A Novel of love, War, and the birth of America - Beverly Swerling Love and Honor - Randall Wallace - This one covers the events leading up to the American Revolution If you're interested in any non-fiction, these two books are very readable. 1776 - David McCullough The First Salute: A View if the Am Revolution - Barbara W. Tuchman |

Do a search for American Revolution, literature & fiction. There are over 100 books shown, some of which sound very good. I kind of wish I hadn't looked, trying to save credits! |

His Excellency George Washington was a good read. I have 1776, but haven't read it yet. I also really liked the Interpreter by Robert Moss and Firekeeper, also by Robert Moss - It's set in the Revolutionary period, but it also deals with the Mohawk Indian tribes. I love these.
