For anyone interested in genealogy and history, "Albion's Seed" can be
recommended.

I'm looking for recommendations on books that will tell me about
life in the
U.S. and it's territories from 1700-1850. My primary interest is PA, but I
have a more global interest in population centers, immigration patterns, and
internal migration across the U.S. (and territories). I'm curious about the
routines of daily life during this period, and the nature and circumstances
of the people who populated the country. My hope is that I can get
recommendations on books that convey a factual picture, but are written for
the lay person rather than solely for the academician/historian (IOW, I want
to get a "sense" of life in those days, but not a ton of socio-economic
statistics).
Thanks.Drew Blackwell
