1.The TerrorThe Terror
from audible.com
Price: $15.74

Customer Review:
The funny part about this, is that I hesitated buying the book. The only book I had read from Dan Simmons was Darwin's blade, and I didnt like it at all. But after reading a positive review in USA Today I thought I'd give him another shot. Am I ever glad I did! Quite simply, maybe the best book I've... more info

3.1812: War with America1812: War with America
from Belknap Press
Price: $23.10

Customer Review:
Latimer's book feels like a definitive account of a conflict that is very poorly understood or studied. The book is obviously not written to be a dry recounting of troop movements or a collection of anecdotes strung together as some seem to be. The author is not shy about making some sharp comments,... more info

from Wiley
Price: $23.36

Customer Review:
I found this book very interesting. I am of Cajun decent. My father is originally from Vacherie and my mother's family is originally from Edgard. This is the history I wish I would have been taught in highschool when learning about Louisiana history. I had no idea about the deportation in Nova... more info

5.The Iroquois (Peoples of America)The Iroquois (Peoples of America)
from Wiley-Blackwell
Price: $35.23

Customer Review:
This book is a great introduction to the history and ethnography of the Iroquois. It starts with a summary of the archaeology of the various Iroquois speaking groups in the north east U.S. and southern Canada (not all Iroquois speakers were Iroquois Indians!)and moves forward in time. Its main focus... more info

6.The Knights Templar in the New World: How Henry Sinclair Brought the Grail to AcadiaThe Knights Templar in the New World: How Henry Sinclair Brought the Grail to Acadia
from Destiny Books
Price: $11.53

Customer Review:
Well researched and thought-provoking, The Knights Templar in The New World offers compelling evidence that the Holy Grail was spirited to North America. As such, it should really be read alongside Swords at Sunset by Michael Bradley, as Bradley's book establishes that the Holy Grail was and perhaps... more info

from Little, Brown, & co

Customer Review:
This is the third book of Parkman's that I've read. Previously, I read Pioneers of France in the New World and The Jesuits in North America. About all three I would say a) they are absolutely amazing works of brilliant, inspired scholarship, b) Parkman's measured, objective, caring approach to the... more info

9.Guide Book to the Historic Sites of the War of 1812Guide Book to the Historic Sites of the War of 1812
from Dundurn Pr Ltd

Customer Review:
For various reasons, the War of 1812 between the United States and Great Britain to lay claim over Canada is sometimes referred to as a forgotten war. There was no well known American president involved such as George Washington, nor was there a popular general involved such as Ulysses S. Grant to... more info

10.Epic Wanderer: David Thompson and the Mapping of the Canadian WestEpic Wanderer: David Thompson and the Mapping of the Canadian West
from University of Nebraska Press

Customer Review:
I first saw this book in a store in Banff, at the tail end of a 10-day hiking trip through the Canadian Rockies. I didn't want to lug a book home, so I ordered through Amazon. Perhaps I like this book because I hiked a bit of the area it describes, but more important to me is the astonishing story... more info
