Hello! I'm looking to read about Bacon's Rebellion and I'm wondering if anyone has any recommendations for a book to read on this subject.
My local library has the following books on the subject:
Tales from a Revolution by James D Rice (2012)
The Governer and The Rebel by Wilcomb Washburn (1957)
1676 The End of American Independence by Stephen Webb (1984)
Torchbearer of the Revolution by Thomas Jefferson Wertenbaker (1940)
Narratives of the Insurrections 1675-1690 by Charles McLean Andrews (1967)
These are the options my library has but I'm more than willing to spend money on a book if anyone has a better recommendation than those listed here. Just looking for a really good, detailed study on the rebellion. Thanks!!
Of the books listed I’ve only read Tales of a Revolution but it does a great job of fleshing out Bacon’s Rebellion. It also ties the rebellion into larger trends in American history and helps explore the transition between the early colonial period to the later colonial period expertly. Plus, it’s a shorter book but doesn’t skip on the content. It’s a good read!
