A little modern perhaps but "Fate is the Hunter" by Earnest K Gann is wonderful. It's about flying though.
"Iron Coffins" by Herbert Werner is a good read about Uboot warfare in WW2...
Anything by Winston Churchill is well written and informative.
If you like science fiction most anything by Heinlein or Asimov.....
If you like reloading, check out Phil Sharpe or Major George Nonte among others...
If you just like the sound of 'right' words, Shakespeare or Milton.... Watching Shakespeare is 10x more enjoyable....
The Operator by Robert O'neill
I like it

"Peace is that brief glorious moment in history, when everybody stands around reloading." -- Thomas Jefferson
"The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

One of my favorites is the 5 book set of Alan Ekharts The frontieersman. Its the settling of Kentucky ohio indianna a little of Illinois and Detroit. A very good set to read by the firelight on a chilly night.
the caplock muzzleloading rifle. by ned Roberts.
Hmm, lots of interesting choices so far. Thanks everyone.
Just finished "Liberty's Last Stand"by Stephen Coonts. I don't think he liked President Obama very much...
With the old breed.
Eugene Sledge.
WWII pacific theater. Possibly the best ground pounder account of any war ever.
One of the best reads of my life.

The wife got me, Winchester an American Legend by R.L. Wilson for Christmas. It was real good. Many nice and history photographs and information. Picture heavy, so it went pretty quick.

Handlogger sounds like it'd be interesting. Thanks for the heads up.
Find a copy of Hatcher's Notebook if you're ever in the mood for something more technical.
For hunting/adventure try Safari Press, they have a pretty big selection of books by the African hunters from the late 1800s thru the 1950s.

I've always found sailing stories interesting and living on or near the great lakes all my life I heard a few. Some from ABies all the way to captains. So, I read many lake books. One inpeticular is Shipwrecks of the Straits of Mackinac by Charles and Jeri Feltner. Many locations mentioned I have visited as I lived very close to Mackinac for years and worked offloading lake vessels. Got to talk to many sailors. I got to know one Captain quite well and repected the hell out of him. He sailed for 50+ years and pushed his boat threw many winds. He had the respect of his crew and it showed. Other captains weren't as good and that showed as well.
You might like "Off The Mangrove Coast" by L'amour.

That was a great book!
Another was "The 13th Valley" by John Del Vecchio. Takes place in Viet Nam. A fictionalized account of his real world experiences.
