I'm banned off of /b/ and /pol/ so I have to come here.

I need some good book suggestions for the first people who came to jamestown and what their lives were like. Maybe a book about plymouth too.

I want a book that is unbiased truth. Not a lefty book that preaches that the natives were goody goodies. and dindu nuffin wrong.

I also don't want a right leaning book.

Post suggestions please. I'm starting to get into u.s history.

>No bias

>In history

Welcome to hell. There is no such thing as unbiased history. There are narrators that are open with their biases or that relate the facts objectively, but none that I know of that are not in one way or another biased, even if it's just them accepting the mainstream-narrative too uncritically.

My best advice is to get familiar with the different viewpoints. When you are, you can disseminate the good from the bad in a narrative. Not reading anything biased at all will make you miss out on some really great historians.

As for actual suggestions, I can't help with that, sorry. I never read a history book dealing particularly with the early history of America, only a few dozen essays or so.
