Graemes gazeteer works great. It also has an adventure that isnt overproduced. We combimed Sons of Liberty, the first black Masonic lodge, and the history of general Gages wife's sympathies to the rebellion to great effect.

Most of the Gazetteer gives GM's a good grasp of colonial expansion in the 13 States. Expansion as a unified nation is conveniently separated from expansions by individual states. The Native American content, while fairly presented within the context of setting, seems to lack a good presentation of individual tribal members that make the tribes interesting as colonial "movers and shakers" during the period in which they lived (Massasoit and Roger Williams spring to mind as people with particularly interesting interactions).
