In the past month and a half I've read several books, many of which I discovered in this thread! Thanks to those who recommended them:
Searching for John Dewitt by John Chase MD
The Son by Philipp Meyer
Open Carry by Marc Cameron
Books I've finished at the recommendation of my bride:
The Fourth Monkey and The Fifth To Die, by J.D. Barker. I'm getting ready to start The Sixth Wicked Child by Barker...
I've enjoyed reading these, but at the same time, I'm anxious for the snow to melt in the high country and for things to become more accessible!

It was a very insightful and moving book that reflects the selflessness of the era. Incredible that the letters home often painted a picture that everything was fine for the soldier, and always showing more concern for those back home. Love the line speaking to soldiers that realized they held the destiny of nations.

Some books I read so far in March:
Hunt High by Duncan Gilchrist - Great background information on hunting sheep and goat in the U.S. and Canada, also put New Zealand on my radar. It's a good book, but I'm surprised how crazy hard it is to find a copy.
A Sheep Hunter's Diary by Ronald Gabriel - One of the finest books I've read on hunting the world's wild sheep and goat. The author dives into the history of the regions he hunts in and makes constant references to the old sheep hunting literature, which I appreciated for future reading ideas.
East of the Sun and West of the Moon by Theodore Roosevelt Jr and Kermit Roosevelt - Enjoyed reading this expedition by the Roosevelt brothers into central Asia to collect wild specimens for a natural history museum, most notably the Marco Polo sheep. In addition to their hunting gear, they also packed their tuxedos and opera hats for when they dined with local officials as their distinguished guests.

I think I picked up this recommendation from meat eater. It was described as the Russian equivalent of the Lewis and Clark journals. In many ways it is but without much of the adventure from our version and way less wildlife. The main character is very interesting, the book would have been better focusing more on him and his beliefs as an indigenous "gold". It ends tragically as he tries and fails to survive in a city. In many ways it is similar to the Snow Leopard by Matthiessen, with considerable buddhist undertones, only these are more blatant but authentic.
