What do you mean by historical book? Any book written in that time frame, or one focused on the history of the USA?

If the former, the best piece of literature written in America during that timeframe was Moby-Dick, but it doesn't have much connection with American history. Other good literary choices would be Poe, Whitman, Fenimore Cooper and

If you want something non-fiction, try the essays of Ralph Waldo Emerson, which represent the development of Transcendentalism, the first particularly American school of philosophy. If you like military history, I enjoyed Jefferson Davis' The Rise and Fall of the Confederate Government, which presents the Civil War from the point of view of the CSA's president (I'm not a Dixieboo, I just thought it was an interesting read).

There's a lot of good choices.

Thanks, currently looking in to these. Yeh, definitely non-fiction, definitely more historical which I forgot to say. Something that really ties in to American history. For example, a book written by Columbus or Jefferson would be easy mode but I'm looking for something a little more comprehensive than such as those.
