The author of The Hoosier Schoolmaster asks who the first English settlers in America were and what pushed them across the Atlantic. Rather than a chronicle of events, he traces causes: the founding of Virginia, the Puritan migration under men like John Winthrop, and the religious and political quarrels that scattered colonists along the coast.
A thoughtful social history of the seventeenth-century colonies, for readers who want the why behind Jamestown and Plymouth. Download the free EPUB.
