by Dana Huntley (Author)
Who, what, when, where and why people were motivated to make a two-month crossing on the North Atlantic to carve a life in a largely uncharted, inhospitable wilderness? How and why did they build the varied societies that they did in the New World colonies? How and why did we become America? America's Forgotten Colonial History tells that story.
