The First Americans: 1607-1690
"The First Americans 1607-1690" is an illuminating exploration of the formative years of English settlement in North America. Renowned historian Thomas Jefferson Wertenbaker provides a detailed account of the social and cultural development of the colonies, spanning from the founding of Jamestown to the late seventeenth century. The work examines the harsh realities of frontier life, the evolution of local governance, and the transplanting of European traditions into the American wilderness.
By focusing on the daily lives of settlers-including their religious practices, architectural styles, and community structures-Wertenbaker traces the emergence of a distinct American identity separate from its European roots. This volume delves into the diverse experiences of the Virginia and New England settlements, highlighting the differences and similarities that shaped the early American landscape. It serves as a comprehensive study of how a new society was forged in the crucible of the New World, making it an essential resource for those interested in the social history of the United States and the origins of its cultural heritage.
