Jacob Ernest Cooke II is the author of the Three volume set: Encyclopedia of the North American Colonies. These books were published in 1993 and have a lot of rich detail on the origins of North America during the Colonial growth period. You can get them real cheap individually.
Jacob in not connected to our tree, which is a shame because he is a well respected Historian and veteran of WWII.
Can we get him connected? I have given him a start. Lots of good source info to work with
