This is a collection of essays and short primary sources about topics surrounding the colonial era in America, including things like Indian wars and Puritan religions. While it was interesting enough, it is more of a specific reference book if you are writing about a few colonial topics, instead of a history of the colonial era. The topics are pretty narrow with clear biases.

Just looking for a book to represent Lloyd Fowles history class at Loomis. I believe he wrote a history of the Loomis family and was an expert in Connecticut Valley archaeology. I had to write a paper about the Huguenots. Paul Revere(Rivoire) was one of those. I must have taken at least one other History class there besides George Warrens' senior class but I can't remember it. I think Bud Porter taught the one I'm forgetting. Date is approximate.
