Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The New England Company of 1649 and John Eliot: The Ledger for the Years 1650-1660 and the Record Book of Meetings Between 1656 and 1686 of the Corporation for the Propagation of the Gospel in New England Two groups of people who never crossed the Atlantic had a great deal to do with the foundation of New England. To them, very nearly as much as to the actual settlers, can be traced the success of the colony in its early years, and they gave it the characteristics which three centuries later are considered to be typical of the old New England families. There is scarcely a mention of them, as individuals or as a group, in the books that have been written about the movement in which they took so lively an interest. They made few records of what they did for the colonists; of those that survive, the present publication contains what is probably the clearest evidence of the importance of their activities. Looking through the remnants of the correspondence that passed to and from Massachusetts Bay in the seventeenth century, it is possible to distinguish, dimly for the most part, the outline of those who made up these two groups. One consisted of London City men, merchants with widely extended interests and the controlling influence that put one king off his throne and seated three of his four successors. The other group was composed largely of their female relatives and connections, the dowagers of the Puritan families of the City and the Counties.
