Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Under a Colonial Roof-Tree: Fireside Chronicles of Early New England There has been no nation but, in the beginning of its history, there was the consciousness of a relation to a world which it did not conquer with its swords, and whose fruits it did not gather in its barns nor exchange in its markets. - Mulford. In the spring of 1630, the Winthrop fleet, departing from Plymouth, England, turned its course westward in the direction of the New World. Reaching the coast of the unexplored continent, the first to arrive in Massachusetts Bay was the large ship Mary and John, freighted with one hundred and forty passengers, "godly families and people," under the lead of their two ministers. These colonists were men and women respectable in condition and lineage, possessed of fortitude, and moved by high moral purpose and strong religious devotion. Of their ten weeks on the ocean one of the number wrote: "So we came by the good hand of the Lord through the deeps comfortably, having Preaching and expounding of the Word of God every day."
