Even though he clearly prefers the dutch/french way of dealing with indians, he pretty much admits that the english methods were very effective

@Nemets One thing Ive learned through reading all these sorts of books is that there’s good information you can glean from all of them as long as you understand what’s really going on. I just don’t think they have as much net value as a lot of other books. The best thing about them is the bibliographies. You can usually find great primary sources in those

@Tron very true.

2018-04-19 20:13:31 UTC  

I still like these sorts of books since they put a lot together. I wouldn't even know where to start looking for early colonial demographics, but he has it all there

What are the best broad strokes books on American history to augment and fill in the gaps of public school education?

@Gaius Mucius Scaevola I wish I had a good answer for you

2018-04-24 20:48:41 UTC  

@Gaius Mucius Scaevola Have some suggestions. Will send sources when home.

The Journals of Lewis and Clark edited by DeVoto - I **HIGHLY** recommend this book. Especially if you are feeling blackpilled and need to take a break from politics.

Reading this work currently, incredibly inspiring to read directly from the journals of men who agitated for revolution. And revolution from a tyranny which was, I believe, far less serious than what we face today.

The Market Revolution is a history of the expansion of the consumer market into every facet of the American life from roughly 1815 to the Civil War. Charles Sellers is obviously a Marxist, but there are critical elements of truth to his writing. A couple critiques: there were certainly other integral factors at play in shaping the American and the Southern psyches during this time; Sellers probably gives a little too much power to this market revolution. Also, Sellers distinguishes between two groups that he calls the Arminians and the Antemonians, one being for and the other against the Market Revolution. However, he gets the groups backwards in this book.
That said, this book helps the reader grasp the power of the market over those within its hegemony and therefore has a wealth of information relevant to us.

I would follow the Market Revolution with Liberty and Power by Harry Watson. Where Sellers explains the nature of the Market Revolution, Watson describes and analyzes the results of it. He explains how the rise of market capitalism was not always equated with liberty, rather, many saw it as a vehicle of tyranny. There are elements of the Whig and Democrat platform here which I agree with. But that is with the benefit of hindsight. And, of course, this all takes place within an American democratic paradigm, but there is a wealth of information in this relatively short book (for an academic history) that will help shape the ideology and historiographical thinking of its readers

Any one have a robust and well-sourced critique of MLKjr ? His Communism, sexual degeneracy, rootless cosmopolitan handlers, etc.

*Just finished this book. The author isn't the best - but the stories are amazing.*

Gents, I've read a few things about Robert E. Lee around the internet that've made me want to dive in a bit deeper. Interested in men of great moral character and leadership for obvious reasons. Any recommendations for bios etc on him?

2019-02-13 01:17:59 UTC  

No, but I’ve been reading this exquisite biography on Charles Lindbergh

2019-02-14 00:00:47 UTC  

@Mr Snow Gray Fox is supposed to be a good biography on him. I haven’t read it but I was told it’s great by somebody I trust on such matters

2019-02-14 00:01:11 UTC  

The author’s name is Burke Davis
