This influence spread out across the land in ways that have enriched the American spirit. In this book, the author takes a fresh look at those pioneers seeking religious freedom and economic opportunity, showing how their traditions, attitudes, and ideas resulted in a complex, multilayered culture that still fascinates natives and newcomers alike.
