Good books that describe life here before and during the European influx.

The First Frontier by Scott Weidensaul. Focuses on the period from discovery up to the revolutionary period. A lot happened in those 275 years that I had never heard of. Eastern North America was a pretty brutal place in those days.

 

[Nicodemus]

A Few Acres Of Snow, by Robert Leckie.

Always been partial to The Frontiersmen, by Allan Eckert

Always been partial to The Frontiersmen, by Allan Eckert

Like all of Allan Eckert’s Winning of America series.

Travels of William Bartam 1774. Travel over Georgia, S.C, Florida and on a need to read. Piles of bones mixed high as a man on a horse between 96 an Charlestown.

Besides some of the ones already mentioned, A New Voyage to Carolina by John Lawson is one of my favorites.

1491: New Revelations of the Americas Before Columbus by Charles C. Mann is another good one. And Definitely Bartram's Travels.

Listen to every hint to old books and old folks tales, I was talking to a old farmer few years ago and he told me of a rock in a cypress swamp that was a meteor and was to take me there. I was reading " Cold before morning " a Florida book on early setting and there it was in 1800s it was witnessed crossing Gainesville Florida. Hes gone and I never took him up on it. Knowledge missed.

That’s a good one too. I’ve got that one, and it took quite a while to find it, and it wasn’t very cheap. lol
