David McCullough has 1776 and Adams about the early founding that were great to me. Chernow has Hamilton and Washington which are dense but very informative.

Was going to recommend this. Also his book on the Wright Brothers was really well done.
Shelby Foote's Civil War set (3 volumes) is amazing.
A Terrible Glory and The Killing of Crazy Horse cover the Indian wars of the 1870s.
Empire of the Summer Moon covers the Comanches in Texas.
Any of Erik Larson's books. Devil in the White City (Chicago World's Fair) has already been mentioned. Issac's Storm (Galveston hurricane), Dead Wake (Lusitania) and The Splendid and the Vile (Churchill's first year as prime minster) are also really well done, but slightly out of scope of what you asked about.
