- akira2501 2y agoIt's the middle distance of the 1800s that I'm very much into reading now. It's contemporary enough that you can understand it, relates a history that we still teach today, and provides a view into our country that's hard to achieve anywhere else. Highly recommended recent reads: Benjamin Franklin's Autobiography Looters of the Public Domain, S.A.D. Puter. The Boston Tea Party and Memoir of George R.T. Hewes.
