Colonial America: 1607-1763 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This book covers not only the events of the Colonial period of American History, but also the culture that was developing during that time.
Naturally, it starts with the exploration of the continent and founding of the colonies. These are broken down into region and each colony given as much room as needed. The last part of the book covers the events that led to the Revolutionary period, including the various wars with France.
In between, however, it breaks colonial life down by topic and explores each thoroughly. In several chapters, we get information on various aspects of the economic situation, immigration, social life and structure, law and order, and intellectual life. By the time you are done with this book, you'll have a very good understanding on how American culture developed as it did in the early years and how this led to the America we know today. And the back in full of reference material for further study.
Naturally, as a textbook, it's rather dry at times. But it's worthy reading if you have an interest in this period of American history.
