Summary

This nonfiction story of colonial America provides a powerful account of war, individual struggle, and American destiny. This readable, relevant snapshot of history describes events surrounding a diverse people who settled around the southern coastal plains and the immense western frontier. The story examines the mosaic of cultures as they are mixed in a caldron of southern experiences and provides the "why" in our evolution as a unique people. The notion of a unique group of people begins with sixteenth century English political intrigue and ends with British North American domination after the last French and Indian war in 1763. This fast-paced account appeals to lovers of American history, southern genealogists, students, and the casual reader of southern lore. Numerous notes are placed at the end of the book to preserve the fast-paced character of the story. These notes provide additional information in an academic format convenient for use as a United States history reference source.
