"It was on the first of May, in the year 1769, that I resigned my domestic happiness for a time, and left my family and peaceable habitation on the Yadkin river, in North Carolina, to wander through the wilderness of America, in quest of the country of Kentucke.."
-John Filson.


Following list of books can be seen as a "first aid". Many of the subjects are interlinked thus making it recommended to look over the whole list. Sadly, you would have to purchase since they aren't available at your local library (in Sweden). Visit our linkpage where links to sites selling material and books can be found. We highly recommend you to check the bibliography in books to get further sources to continue your quest.
