T. Boyle's "World's End" traces three generations of Dutch settlers and Native Americans in New England. It's not a linear history but series of flashbacks linking a handful of families with themes that wind throughout?from the displacement of the Native Americans to the appearance of folksinging socialists, with the landed gentry usually winning the day through the use of money and force.
