Very light wear to the tips, corners, and edges of the book, a bit more to the jacket which is rubbed, rear flap creased. The first book in The American Culture series by distinghuished historians. A collection of documents from early New England. "...they do have one general trait in common. They are all in some sense 'personal documents' which reveal the impact of the culture at the level of individual experience....These choices express an underlying intent to approach the subject in essentially human terms." It is the second book by John Demos who would go on to win the Bancroft Prize for Entertaining Satan: Witchcraft and the Culture of Early New England.
