"Morgan is one of my favorite historians of early America. This book is a hodgepodge of essays he's written over the years, and it doesn't much cohere, but his Puritan essays are truly enlightening and riveting. This book compelled me to order his bios on Roger Williams and Jonathan Winthrop. "

    " Morgan is a fantastic writer and really brings these historical players to life. A few of the essays were a tad long, but still interesting as a whole. I learned a lot about this crucial time of US history. "

    " This book is broken up into essays on a variety of topics concerning Early America. I enjoyed some very much but found others to be less interesting and lengthy. I like how the author explained his thinking and I enjoyed his quotes from primary sources. "

    " Great book of wonderful essays. Lots of fun for those interested in history as well as those interested in the study of history. The title, is a bit inaccurate, but I guess "Some Famous Folks involved in Colonial and Early USA" just doesnt have the marketing pizzah. "
