What Members Thought
The four "folkways" looked at are Puritan New England, Quaker Pennsylvania, Virginia, and the Scots-Irish (who went everywhere).
To my mind the best section is that on the Puritans, but the entire book is interesting.
Highly recommended. ...more

I can thank Dr. Kross for foisting this tome on me, but in the end it radically altered my understanding of the development of colonial America, especially New England, and it helped make sense of all the other articles and books I read as I was working on one of my minor fields. It is one of the few books that I still turn to when someone asks me question about this period. I can only think that is remains on the reading lists of most history departments.
