Looking for some good reading material, just finished Crow Killer and really enjoyed it. Anything similar that y’all would recommend?

I’ve read a few different versions of the mad trapper of Rat River. But they were all more of a story line put together of what happened. They all differed a bit because they haven’t figured out exactly who he was and where he’s from.

Probably one of the most important non-fiction accounts of that time period.

Three against the Wilderness. I believe it was about the Collier Family in Alaska.


God please keep they 19 fallen UBB miners out of trouble up there.

I just finished reading this one. It’s a great read and very well researched.
I much prefer accounts that are either first-hand or researched with footnote documentation. I’ve read most of the firsthand accounts of the era and have enjoyed all of them.

My girlfriend just got me this book and I have just started reading it. Looks very good so far.


I'm just happy to be here! Today I'm as young as I'll ever be and and older than I've ever been before!
