recri reviewed Albion's Seed by David Hackett Fischer
Review of "Albion's Seed" on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
I only read the Borderlands to Backcountry section on this pass, but I will be going back to sample the rest of the book. This is dense cultural history, the copious details of material life laid out to make a point. In this case the point being that much of the cultural variety of the british colonies arose from the cultural variety of the british islands.
