Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Memorial History of Bradford, Mass: From the Earliest Period to the Close of 1882 A little company of Yorkshire farmers appear in the untrodden wilderness of Agawam. The unbroken forest reaches from the Merrimack to the Naumkeag. There is only a little settlement at Ipswich and at Rowley. Across the river there is a little church under the hill, at the lower edge of Pentucket Cemetery. It is stockaded with clean and smooth poles sixteen feet high. Around that house of God are gathered the houses of the first settlers of Haverhill. It is 1649 - significant year - Charles I. is beheaded in front of Whitehall Palace. The free commonwealth of England rises to the full of its power. The colonies are inspirited by the news which came over the sea that the principles of civil rights and religious liberty are gaining the ascendancy. These Yorkshire farmers came over from the native land but a little time ago. They are now a part of the Massachusetts colony. Their leader also dies this year - the wise, charitable, scholarly, devout and intrepid Winthrop. His life, a strange contrast to the life of his dead sovereign, stands as tho emblem of that imperial freedom which henceforth is to be the birthright of man. There has been a growth in ideas. We read it in the history of the House of Tudor and the House of Stuart. That longing and aspiration after freedom, that regnant power of conscience, that reverence for God which had become a holy passion, that intelligent, determined, invincible purpose, mingling with the principle of loyalty to the Divine law, asserting itself in the heart of the English nation is the Puritan element in history.
