Entry: In Darkest New England Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/in_darkest_new_england#1953 Post contents: David Hackett Fischer's magisterial <i>Albion's Seed</I> says that the problematic nature of New England comes from the Puritans, not the Borderers (wrongly called "Scots Irish"). Read the 1st chapter of <i>The Education of Henry Adams</i>: "The principle pleasure of New England was hate, of oneself if no more convenient could be found..." [quoted from my fallible memory]. And not to have read Fischer's book is not to know Gringoland. Sent at: 2008 11 23
