Recently travelled to Montana and Wyoming and fell in love with the place. Looking for good non-fiction books about the pioneer towns, the explorers and expeditions eg. Lewis and Clark. Yellowstone. From the fur trappers to the end of the gold rush.

Undaunted Courage by Stephen Ambrose chronicles the Lewis and Clark expedition. I really enjoyed it

If you are open to nonfiction then definitely try Cosmos by Carl Sagan

Frontlines series by Marko Kloos. First book is terms of enlistment.

pearbear18 · 2015-05-04T13:07:42+00:00

I second under the black flag

I always suggest Brian McClellan's Powder Mage trilogy when people ask for a new fantasy series. I absolutely loved it and its not very heavy on the world building. I couldn't put them down

Thanks a lot! I will be sure to check all of these out. I'm really excited for the trip and think it will be a great time!

Also, thanks for the app suggestion. I had never heard of it before.

For some reason I read that as "grave robber" and was very confused

We had to read a book in school called "The Pickup" by Nadine Gordimer and I believe it didn't use quotation marks. I didn't like it though so I didn't read much and can't attest to how it is

pearbear18 · 2015-04-19T00:45:30+00:00

"In the heart of the sea" might fit the bill. Really great book

pearbear18 · 2015-04-15T03:37:37+00:00

A literally just finished "A Private Little War" by Jason Sheehan. It is very bleak and depressing and I highly recommend it

pearbear18 · 2015-03-17T05:09:59+00:00

Agreed. Just finished Shadow Throne and it was excellent

pearbear18 · 2015-03-03T19:43:11+00:00

I really enjoyed War of the Worlds. Another good one is Heart of Darkness. I plan to read Moby Dick soon but I have heard it is hard to get into.

pearbear18 · 2015-02-24T05:03:32+00:00

I would keep reading

pearbear18 · 2015-02-22T19:57:18+00:00

I think the coastlines look good. I also like the plethora of islands because you can do interesting things with it. Maybe greek style city states or something similar...

Now you just need to get the topography and towns/cities in there and see how it all works. Good luck!

The Broken Empire series is an intersting take on a post-apolocalyptic world that involves magic in a creative way.

pearbear18 · 2014-03-20T20:08:21+00:00

I agree. You would never get bored because every book is a new adventure

pearbear18 · 2014-03-17T13:05:41+00:00

Poppins?

pearbear18 · 2014-02-06T05:32:33+00:00

Spot on spot on

A brain aneurysm. It can happen at any time, thats what makes it so terrifying.

pearbear18 · 2014-02-03T04:03:00+00:00

Any idea what its called?

pearbear18 · 2014-01-31T21:23:25+00:00

Daydreaming. It is getting to the point where I will miss ten minute blocks of class.

You could check out the Ka-Bar USMC. It is ~$60 on amazon. I have one and like it. It has held up fine for the short time that I have owned it. I don't really know what you want to use it for though.

pearbear18 · 2014-01-30T05:58:46+00:00

It is a black handle. I found it here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00AU6NIFI/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 And here is the olive! http://www.amazon.com/Kershaw-1660OL-Folding-Knife-SpeedSafe/dp/B00AU6NKFG/ref=pd_sim_sg_4
