A Visitor's Guide to Colonial & Revolutionary New England: Interesting Sites to Visit, Lodging, Dining, Things to Do

by Robert Foulke, Patricia Foulke

Walk in the footsteps of the founders of our country—the early immigrants, who carved homes out of the wilderness, fought for freedom, and forged our political landscape.

This absorbing guidebook spans the geographical bounds of New England states—including Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut—and traverses the formative years of the United States, reaching from the 1600s, through the colonial era, up to 1812. A wealth of historical detail, timelines, photographs, background stories, and nearby lodging and restaurants with links to the past makes this one of the finest resources for travelers who enjoy exploring the living roots of our history. 10 maps, 60 black & white photographs, index.

I found a box full of my old college text books and decided to give them another read.... for the fun of it. This one, while not exciting, kept my interest and was a lot of fun to read. It wasn't too jargon heavy, so anyone could manage this read through. I give this one 5 stars for keeping my attention! If the American Revolutionary history is your jam, then grab some bread and butter this bad boy, cause you found a winner!
