I've always been a big Western & Central European history buff. In the process, American history fell to the wayside, and I'd like to delve a little deeper. By colonial history, I'm referring to a time frame from 1700 thru the War of 1812 (I guess this makes it colonial/early U.S. history). The books don't have to be works of popular history; suggestions on scholarly tomes are just fine. A gentleman recently recommended to me Six Frigates: The Epic History of the Founding of the U.S. Navy. Has anyone read it?
