Description
The author, winner of the Pulitzer Prize in history, brings the society of colonial Virginia to life by examining the influences of physical setting, social hierarchy, economic system, leisure time activities, religion, and education. Isaac also describes how independence from England coincided with a breakdown in the traditional structure of the colonial past.
