Arthur Quinn's "A New World" is a must-read for any student of early American history and a should-read for fans of entertaining tales.

A colorful, moving narrative of the settling of America from multiple national perspectives. Quinn destroys many of our national myths.
Very interesting
This was an excellant read on Colonial Anerica and Canada. It has some brutal scenes in it on the wars involved. It covered the personalites very well on the different leaders of the colonies and the armies. The use of religion in the differnt colonies was very interesting. It covered the Puritan belief, Indian beliefs, conversion styles, dogma, punishment, exclusion and pacifism of the Quakers in Pennsylvania.
very informative history of colonial north america. language can be a bit flowery at times but it has the feel of a novel as we follow the fascinating characters of the time.
This is a hefty book.
