Disclaimer: Going into this idea, I got really excited about finding some new reads set in an era I’m not terribly familiar with, however, I quickly discovered this was trickier than it appeared in my mind’s eye. I was able to find plenty of books set in the late 1700’s, but almost none dealing specifically with the Revolutionary War as a backdrop. Those which did, often focused on British officers and piracy. While I don’t mind, it didn’t seem quite right for my focus on the American side of things. Eventually, I had to make some choices, so I’m looking forward to the following books and hoping some of you might be able to make suggestions for next year’s list in the comments.
