Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: The Quest For Power: The Lower Houses of Assembly in the Southern Royal Colonies, 1689-1776 (Paperback)

While this one is not a page turner by any stretch, it is a valuable study of the colonial south, and anyone researching or studying that era and that locale should surely have this one on their list of reads.
