I have recently acquired Albion's Seed: Four British Folkways in America. This was after reading a rapturous reference to the work in Dennis Covington's Salvation on Sand Mountain. Covington's book, about snake handlers in southern Appalachia, clearly doesn't fit in the list of works discussed in your post. But that two such different people whose offerings I admire could both recommend it makes me look forward to opening its pages.

East of Eden got on my radar recently. Thanks for the appreciation of all things American!
