American History

I'm reading The Great Upheaval by Jay Winik right now, covering American and European history for the last quarter of the 18th century. Evidently he wrote an Civil War history that has some good reviews as well. I found this one in a remainder stack at a bookstore---something that would never happen online.

At the shop I'm still working on Charles Keene off and on, while the Lantern Guy has another Louis L'amour on the desk.
