Hi everyone!
This morning, I ran across an article that is very relevant to Bradford, Bradstreet, and our
studies in English 348-- someone just restored a 1665 pilgrim house in New Hampshire, though the house was orginally built in Massachusetts. I appreciated the visual image of the saltbox and the accompanying buildings (there are 35 stunning pictures of the interiors and exteriors of the structures!) and thought I'd pass along the link.

Those Puritans Made Some Expensive Books!
Hi again! Here's a link to a video about the recent auction sale of The Bay Psalm Book, the first book printed in English in the American colonies. There are a few more copies out there, so start saving your pennies...

American Lit Playground
Hi guys,
Hopefully you all just received an email invitation to join this blog. Basically, this is an experiment. Hopefully as the course proceeds, you'll start to see links to our course material everywhere you look. And instead of just keeping it to yourself or sending it to me, why not share it with the class? Sharing is caring, right? So consider this blog an American literature playground of sorts, an opportunity to post related articles you found interesting, pictures, links, videos, deep thoughts on American themes--whatever you want, really. I think of it as an informal supplement to our CLEo "Forums" postings. It's also prettier, which is nice. Since I'm new to Blogger, you'll have to bear with me a bit as I figure it out. I'm going to try to link it to our CLEo site, but for now you should be able to access it through your Whitmail account. You can find it at the top right corner of your account if you click on the applications tab next to you email address and then again on "more." Alright, that's all for now. I'm going to attempt a trial post, so here goes...
Best,
Adam
