The Seafarers, Early America

[ThistleCap]

I came across a book that has proved utterly fascinating.  It's the history you've never heard before about early America from 1620 through 1820.  It reveals what life was really like along our coasts, how people relied upon the sea for food, transportation, employment, and escape.  Day to day life is reveal through the people that actually lived it.  It takes you along as people build and sail long distances in small, simple boats.  Wait---that sounds familiar.

Sounds great.
Books  like that are why we still have libraries (do we?).
