Pat B:
Jean Awl's series, Clan Of The Cave Bear(European) and Richard and Kathleen Gear's Earth Child series(North America) are great reads. Even though they are fiction they are very well researched. I would suggest reading the Jean Awl series in order as it follows the journey from beginning to end. The Gear's books can be read in almost any order although they do follow man from the time they came into North America until DeSoto came into Florida.

Saw it in the theatre with a fellow historical re-enactor. We about got thrown out. At one point we started joking..."Oh no! Cold water! My nemesis! How can I help myself, I must fall in it! I cannot help myself, I have a rare condition...falling-in-water-osis!"
We still joke that the director banned water bottles because DeCaprio kept trying to squeeze through the neck and was getting stuck.

The 6 books of the "Ayla" Saga from Jean Marie Auel.

The movie, Revenant is a made up fictional story that bares no resemblance to what really happened.

The Bounty trilogy has a lot of island survival in it, and at sea in a life boat type as well. Robinson Crusoe is one of my all time favorites, though it's a fantasy, it's a very good and believable one, most fun when read in the original old style english.
