Wennawoods

I like a good western, but I'd just as soon read a great eastern. It's easy to forget that the western frontier was once the Atlantic coast, or not too far from it.
Here's a passage from a description of the History of Brule's Discoveries & Explorations: It was Brule’s restless spirit and ardent love of adventure that prompted him to request permission from Champlain to explore interior New York and Pennsylvania. No white man had preceded him into that region and the date of that particular journey was 1615—a little over eight years after the settlement of Jamestown and six years after the first white man ascended the Hudson. Read about the tobacco farmers to the west of the Iroquois called the Neutral Nation. Learn the basis for the Iroquois hatred of the French. Sail down the Susquehanna River past the “palisaded forts” of the Susqhehannocks into the Chesapeake Bay through Brule’s journal in the early 1600’s and record his time here in North America until his untimely death at the hands of the Huron who killed and ate him.
If you're looking for books on the first 300 years of American History (1492 - 1792), you can't go wrong with Wennawoods Publishing. Wennawoods carries just about everything on the old Eastern Frontier in print, they also reprint titles that have been out of circulation for decades.
One of my favorite local subjects is the Susquehannock who aren't a "mysterious tribe" as much as an out of print tribe. A good starting point is Annals of the Susquehannocks: and Other Indian Tribes of Pennsylvania 1500-1763.
I have ordered from Wennawoods several times and have always found it a pleasant experience. You can find Wennawoods online catalog here.
