The Junto offers some holiday book recommendations. There is some really good stuff on this list. Using their list, here are my top 5!
Andrew Burstein, Lincoln Dreamt He Died: The Midnight Visions of Remarkable Americans from Colonial Times to Freud
Catherine A. Brekus, Sarah Osborne’s World: The Rise of Evangelical Christianity in Early America
Allegra di Bonaventura, For Adam’s Sake: A Family Saga in Colonial New England
Jill Lepore, Book of Ages: The Life and Opinions of Jane Franklin
Alan Taylor, The Internal Enemy: Slavery and War in Virginia, 1772-1832
Oh yes, I also heard there were a few other books out there are pretty good and would make great stocking stuffers:
The Way of Improvement Leads Home: Philip Vickers Fithian and the Rural Enlightenment in America
