Albion's Seed: Four British Folkways in America by David Hackett Fischer

Albion's Seed: Four British Folkways in America (America: A Cultural History, Vol. I)Albion's Seed: Four British Folkways in America by David Hackett Fischer
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book was recommended to me by my Dad who was an avid history buff. This takes an interesting look at the four main British folkways into the United States. It looks at how each influenced our history and continues to impact our culture and politics to this day. It gives a fairly good look at each one that would be a good starting point to look at any one of them more in depth. I found this to interesting reading for the most part it could be tedious in some places. It makes a better reference book than a casual reader. History buffs may not mind this but for a light reader it may be too much.
