jaderbee Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Someone just linked to these elsewhere on the boards: http://barefootmeandering.com/images/BarefootMeanderingReadingLists.pdf Those lists might be helpful. Are you only looking books of that era or set in era? I read Abigail Adams:Witness to a Revolution this summer and loved it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
