This book covers a period of a little more than three-quarters of a century. It begins with the first attempt at English colonization in America, in 1576, and ends with the year 1652, when the supremacy of Parliament was recognized throughout the English colonies. The most interesting period in the history of any country is the formative period; and through the mass of recently published original material on America the opportunity to tell its story well has been of late years greatly increased. In the preparation of this work I have endeavored to consult the original sources.

Early English-American History, from history.
Revisado: 02-16-23
This book is going to be a bit different from what most people would expect: Lyon Gardiner Tyler, the author, was the grandson of US President Tyler, and thus, the book is practically history itself. That also means it has some good and bad elements: the good being that events and people are shown in a different light than offered by modern historians, while the bad is that the actual research is not as advanced, or perhaps even correct, as more recent research. It's not necessarily wrong, mind, but can be misleading.
The performance is, well, mostly bad: the narrator sounds like he's about to fall asleep at any moment, and reciting survey reports that will mean absolutely nothing to anyone without a map to look at is basically pure agony.
Even so, it's worth a listen to anyone interested in an otherwise neglected part of American history.
