Albion’s Seed, by David Hackett Fischer (American history, British folkways)

This book introduces four British folkways in America and identifies four cultural traditions that early English immigrants brought to North America. This book points out that four early British folkways of North America have been the most significant determining factors in modern-day American liberal society. Culturally, most Americans are Albion's seeds. As one of the best books on the early history of the United States, this book opens a window to American cultural origins from the perspective of folklore.
