Climbing history

I'm doing a senior research prodject on rock climbing in the United States for next year and i'm wondering if anyone could give me some good suggestions on books to look up. I'm also interested in first hand accounts of just about anything so please drop me a line if you know anyone who can help or if you can help.

Two obvious books to start with:

Chris Jones - Climbing in North America Steve Roper - Camp IV

try Eiger Dreams by John Krakauer for first hand info
