I believe this is the first book I've read that tells about the lives of the first New England settlers from their England exit through 1700. Not all about Indian wars and such, but about the religious conflicts, the government by theocracy, and inhumane treatment of anyone who didn't conform. And that was before the witch trials. It made me a little embarrassed that we started out that way. This is a lengthy Pulitzer winner from 1922, but I still highly recommend it.
