Sources for 17th century colonial America

by misyo

I'm looking for sources regarding settlement, communities, law, and culture throughout 17th century colonial America. I'm already reading The Barbarous Years but I'm looking for additional sources.

I took a graduate course on Colonial North America so can offer some suggestions by region, although the course did not cover much outside the English colonies so I cannot comment on that.
