Title: Ruth Wallis Herndon - "Unwelcome Americans"
Review: Dr. Herndon has produced a magnificent collection of narratives that have been derived from a variety of primary source documents. Her book is a must for any serious student of colonial history, and would be quite useful for someone doing genealogical research.The author has done a commendable job of balancing research and art; unlike many books from this genre, the book is both academically challenging and eminently readable.Dr. Herndon has given life to voices who would have otherwise remained silent for eternity. The individuals and families in the narratives had a story to tell, and the author has provided a magnificent vehicle for these compelling micro-histories.
