Also of interest are the differences between the Cavaliers who settled in Virginia and the Puritans of New England. Louis L'Amour wrote a book once based on this theme where a Virginia colonist wanders up to New England early in the 17th century.
I love Louis L'Amour's books, but I've not read that one. I'll have to find it.
I stumbled across his grave a few years ago. He's buried at Forest Lawn in Glendale, up near the chapel where the Last Supper window is. His grave is on the edge of a little hill, facing West, of course.
