US/Western History topics
1) SPF "The Little Ice Age: How Climate Made History, 1300-1850" by Brian Fagan.
2) "The Adventures of Captain Bonneville" by Washington Irving. Bonneville was one of the most influential characters in the early history of the American West. Born in France and educated at West Point, he was an Army officer but also an entrepreneur, a fur trader, a would-be author, and very likely a spook. When he couldn't finish his autobiography, Washington Irving, America's first truly famous author and an explorer in his own right, bought the rights to it and produced this much more expansive volume on Bonneville's 1832-35 Western explorations. The result couldn't be any less like "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow"! Quality PB 304 pp. new cond. with map. $6
