I think your manbrary is a good idea but it is certainly not new. most new homes lack a dedicated space but what you are creating sounds to me like a study. Medical knowledge would also be impotant knowledge to pass on so a DNR would be a worthy addition.

And:

1. An early addition of the Boy Scout Handbook
2. Longitude: The True Story of a Lone Genius Who Solved the Greatest Scientific Problem of his Time
3. The Right Stuff

The Marine Corps has a reading list. Search for commandants reading list.

I read "On Killing" it's on the list, interesting, disturbing, informative and reassuring.

Scouting on Two Continents by Major Frederick Russell Burnham. This story too me back a time that I would have loved to have experienced.
Wolf Killer by Harvey Leake. These stories were recorded by my great grandmother Louisa Wetherill and compiled by my brother Harvey.
My great grandmother and her husband John ran a trading post in what was at that time was a very remote part of the Navajo reservation.
Lousa was a early ethnobotnist and Wolf Killer was a plant gatherer for the medicine man. His stories reveal his wisdom and insights learned by his close relationship to his environment.
