The Broad Highway  |
| Jeffery Farnol (1878 - 1952) |
Publishers Weekly #1 Best Seller for 1911.
Farnol developed the Regency Romance genre. Books in this style invoked the literature and language of the English Regency period, more or less around the time of the Napoleonic wars and the French revolution.
Farnol's first novel, a swashbuckling story of the highroads of Kent in the Regency era, is still regarded as a classic and catapulted him to fame.

| The Count of Monte Cristo |
| Alexandre Dumas (1802 - 1870) |
A classic adventure story often considered, along with The Three Musketeers, as Dumas' best work and one of the best novels of all time. Amazingly the plot is based on a true story. |

| The Crossing |
| Winston Churchill (1871 - 1947) |
Publishers Weekly #1 Best Seller for 1904.
It is important to note that the author is not the famed English politician and author, but an unrelated American writer.
This book has been named "The Crossing" because I have tried to express in it the beginnings of that great movement across the mountains which swept resistless over the Continent until at last it saw the Pacific itself. The Crossing was the first instinctive reaching out of an infant nation which was one day to become a giant. No annals in the world's history are more wonderful than the story of the conquest of Kentucky and Tennessee by the pioneers...Winston Churchill

| The Journals of Lewis and Clark |
| Meriwether Lewis (1774 - 1809) |
In 1803, the Louisiana Purchase sparked interest in expansion to the west coast. The USA purchased 2,100,000 square km of largely unknown territory from France for 3 cents per acre. This huge swath of land stretching from New Orleans to Canada now about forms about 23% of the USA. President Jefferson sent Lewis and Clark to study the Indian tribes, botany, geology, Western terrain and wildlife. The journal details their trek from the Missouri River to the northern Pacific coast and back. |
