James Truslow Adams, who later coined the phrase American Dream, tells how Puritan settlers built New England out of wilderness and conviction. He traces the colonies, their faith, feuds, and self-government from Plymouth onward. A thoughtful, unsentimental history for anyone curious about the origins of America's northeastern character.
