Brotherhood of the Rose, by David Morell.
“American Nations-A History of The Eleven Rival Regional Cultures Of North America” by Colin Woodward. Meets the majority of your criteria: Nonfiction, History, Autobiographies, and of course, America.
Anything by Rick Bragg. He’s a great southern author and is an amazing storyteller.
Start with “All Over But the Shoutin’.” Then check out his latest, “My Southern Journey.”

Read the dictionary; all other books are in it.
Robert Leckie is my favorite historical author. Any of his numerous books would be great. I have his histories of the Revolutionary War, Civil War, WWII, and his book “The Wars of America,” which starts with the French and Indian War and ends with Desert Storm.

The Mayans were an utterly lost people.
They knew nothing worth knowing that every other person on Earth didn’t already know.
Nothing there to decode.

Roger that..!
I highly recommend A sword on the Land by FR`s own Pastor Bill Randles it deals with Islam and the Muslim world in the end times
Missing 411 by David Paulides. Somethings we all need to know.

The Mandibles: A Family, 2029-2047 (Hardcover)
Great book. Well written walk through a dystopian future that takes current policies and extends them to their logical conclusions. An excellent parsing of the differences between Keynesian and the Milton Friedman’s schools of economic thought. Managed markets and free markets. Some mistake this as a homage to Ayn Rand. People who do not know the difference between Austrian School of Economics and Objectivism. The characters stay on course during this tour de force through years of economic and societal breakdown. Worth the read. And you all know I am fussy.

Yes, The Boys in the Boat was another Book Club favorite! We discussed the book at a picnic at our host’s summer place (think rustic) on Seneca Lake. We had Jimmy Joy and his wife as our guests. He is the former rowing coach for Hobart and William Smith Colleges. He was warm and down to earth, and had just amazing stories to tell about rowing, coaching, and his experiences. He knew George Potock, builder of the cedar shells in the book, and his son, Stan. Jimmy added another dimension to the enjoyment of that wonderful book. We were so fortunate!

Awesome book club experience! You were really lucky! I think that someone in our group said that rowing was the only competitive sport that required its teams to be “in sync” in breathing, metabolizing, and physical movement. Wonderful book about people with nothing who learned how to take their talents, work with them, and become winners instead of whiners. Quite a contrast to the “Hands Up, Don’t Shoot” young people of today!
