Excellent Compilation

This text is an excellent compilation of early American works. Included are various Native American mythologies as well as a variety of other emerging literary voices from the New World. The book also pays special attention to the rising influence and power of Puritans and other religious leaders, as well as several key figures which helped mold the shape of the United States government.
