1732 The Cultural Life of the American Colonies 1607-1763, by Louis B. Wright (read 24 Jul 1982) This is the second volume in the series called The New American Nation Series and was published in 1957. I was not too interested by it but it wasn't bad. The bibliography says "One of the best books on foreign immigration, with a useful bibliography, is Marcus and Hansen's The Atlantic Migration, 1607-1869." Whether I am merely interested because I had forefathers who came during that time (1817 and 1840) I am not sure, though I claim to have a greater interest in why people came than "why my forefathers came."
