Book Suggestions for Xmas

I've gotten two new books that are awesome:

Alaska's Wolfman, the 1915-55 wilderness adventures of Frank Glaser, by Jim Rearden. I'm half way through this already , taken from interviews with the last of a breed outdoorsman. It's awesome!

The Last Stand Custer, Sitting Bull and the Battle of the Little Bighorn. By Nathaniel Philbrick, the author who gave us Mayflower and In the Heart of the Sea. If you've read those two, i'd bet The Last Stand will be just as informative and enlightening.
IMHO the hands down best historical story teller there is. I'm saving this book for dessert..

He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.
Thomas Paine
