Albion's Seed - David Hacket Fischer http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albion%27s_Seed
The four migrations are discussed in the four main chapters of the book:
The Exodus of the English Puritans (Pilgrims influenced the Northeastern United States' corporate and educational culture)[3]- The South of England to Virginia
- North Midlands to the Delaware
- Borderlands to the Backcountry
Fischer includes satellite peoples such as Welsh, Scots, Irish, Dutch, French, Germans, Italians and a treatise on Black slaves in South Carolina. Fischer covers voting patterns and dialects of speech in four regions which span from their Atlantic colonial base to the Pacific.
