Reading again a favorite, Ladislas Faragos-Patton: Ordeal And Triumph. The book the movie Patton was based on. An amazing larger than life character on a larger than life stage in a life and death struggle. Exceptionally well researched and written.
Ladislas Farago on To Tell the Truth (Jan 22, 1957)

The Frontiersmen. By Allen W Eckert.

Great read.

LINK



Settling the Ohio Valley. Simon Kenton, Simon Girty, Tecumseh, Daniel Boone are the principle subjects. Very detailed and well written. Covers a period that isn’t discussed much in film or print.
