I’ve been listening to quite a few audio books and really enjoy it especially on long drives to the lease. I enjoy American history, Indian history, mostly history and non fiction not into fantasies or anything like that. Recently I’ve listened to Empire of the summer moon, undaunted courage about Lewis and Clark, Bury my heart at wounded knee, The journey of Crazy Horse, and Sitting Bull biography.

Any must read American history, Texas history, Native American history books I should check out next?

Waiting for Bill he likes to read

My wife gat several for a long ride to Montana. They helped pass the time.

Sapper, I'm an audiobook addict. Are you downloading them free from your local library? My local library has thousands of titles available and will also add new titles upon request.

Here are a few I really enjoyed.

Erebus by Michael Palin.



The Splendid and the Vile by Erik Larson.



The Lost Airman by Peter Stevens.



The Devil in the White City by Erik Larson.



Shattered Sword by Jonathan Parshall.



I know you're mostly into non-fiction, but you really ought to try the really good fiction stuff below.

Thirteen Moons by Charles Frazier.



And a final suggestion for very enjoyable Cop/Who-Done-It fiction. Give the Virgil Flowers Series a try. The author is John Sanford. There are twelve books in the series. They are really good, with bits of humor thrown in. I bet you get hooked with the first book.

American Buffalo by Steve Rinella

Indian Depredations in Texas. My great grandfather is mentioned in that book

Edit: I don't believe it's available in audio.

What app do you use?

I like Erik Larsen, too. The Splendid and the Vile was great. I just finished Isaac's Storm, by him about the Galveston hurricane, which was very good.

Ridgeline by Michael Punke is good.

To Kill A Mockingbird. Atticus be the man.

We've discovered some historical podcasts that are awesome. Recommend checking out the "Infamous America" podcasts which you can listen to on the way to the lease.

Just been buying the book of the Apple bookstore on my iPhone

I know you said books but there are also some good historical NON-FICTION podcasts out there.

Right now I am listening to a Podcast called, Our Thing, its has the mobster Sammy the Bull on it and it talks about his life in the mob.

Borderlands is another good Podcast about the Sheriff out in Presidio County from the 90's. Then Tom Brown's Body another Texas Monthly piece that was pretty good.

Most local libraries have an audiobook app and you can "check out" audio books through the app for free. There are 3 or 4 main apps, but different libraries use different apps.

Some great recommendations above, but here are some others you might want to check out if you like history:

A Terrible Glory, Custer and the Little Bighorn-James Donovan
The Texas Rangers, Wearing the Cinco Peso 1821-1900-Mike Cox
The Liberation Trilogy (#1 An Army at Dawn, #2 The Day of Battle, and #3 The Guns at Last Light)-Rick Atkinson. Best and most comprehensive books I have ever read regarding the United States in the European/North African theatre of WW2.

What I learned about audio books is that first you find the book you like and then find you find a good narrator for the book. Makes a big difference.

Try "Goodbye to a River" by John Graves.

One of the men I served with wrote a book about his 2 tours in Vietnam, The book is supposed to come out in an audio version in the next few months. Title is Seeking Quan Am: A Dual Memoir of War and Vietnam Last I heard the book was being read by an Iraq War veteran.
