There are actually four groupings: New England, Mid-Atlantic, Southern Coastal, and Appalachia, each coming from different parts of the British Isles in different decades, creating separate cultures. Highest recommendation. I still refer to it all the time, twenty years after first reading it.Assistant Village Idiothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01978011985085795099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19305198.post-46419233432469782322009-05-16T19:07:00.000-04:002009-05-16T19:07:00.000-04:00Excellent posting, of tying things together.
