rockala Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 I am trying to find books that are about history or even historical fiction that have the last 200-300 years as the backdrop? Without researching too much :001_smile:, I will start; To Kill a Mockingbird Treasure Island Pride & Prejudice Oliver Twist I am trying to create a reading list that gives a feel for the history of the time, but would be interested in any books you consider pertinent to the era.

Heather in VA Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Well you've got some historical literature so I will suggest some more as well as some non-fiction history. Red Badge of Courage Huckleberry Finn Uncle Tom's Cabin Up From Slavery (and/or Souls of Black Folk) Battle Cry of Freedom King Leopold's Ghost All Quiet on the Western Front The Grapes of Wrath Cry the Beloved Country The Great Gatsby Guns of August 10 Days the Shook the World Citizen Soldiers I Have a Dream and Letters from Birmingham Jail Fallen Angels There are lots more... but this is a start.
