Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Pioneers of Massachusetts: A Descriptive List, Drawn From Records of the Colonies, Towns and Churches, and Other Contemporaneous Documents The Pioneers of Massachusetts deserve high honor from the people of the United States of America. They composed and signed, in the cabin of the Mayflower, Nov. 11, 1620, the grand though simple "Compact," model of all our constitutions; they organized General Courts, patterns of our legislative bodies; courts of judicature and commissions for the settlement of minor cases, - "to end small causes," - types of our municipal and justices' courts; they gathered congregational bodies of worshippers, embodiments and types of our best, fraternal, religious life; they crystalized the old Saxon town idea into systematic town meetings; they first subscribed to support schools for their children, then devised the scheme of bearing the burden by general taxation, making schools by the people, for the people. And they and their descendants went forth to settle other parts of the great land, and built the foundation of new states out of granite, quarried from Massachusetts ledges. Thus it is the "Commonwealth of Massachusetts" where the largest number of American families had their first home this side of the Atlantic; and to her records and relics come yearly the largest processions of pilgrims, seeking to obtain clues to the still earlier history of their ancestry. Love of family and desire to know and preserve the memory of worthy fore-fathers lead many inquirers into this field. The admirable organizations which keep alive the memory of the Mayflower passengers, which place fresh laurels on the graves of colonial worthies and warriors, which pay honor to the guardians of a country in the face of foreign oppression, the founders of our republican institutions - these societies have deepened the interest and greatly advanced the knowledge of our ancestors. Thus an increasing amount of examination of old records is made; and the courteous town and church clerks, recorders of deeds and wills, custodians of filed documents in court houses and the office of the Secretary of the Commonwealth, have abundant opportunity for the display of that remarkable affability and helpfulness which characterize the officials of our state. Numerous family histories and sketches of the founders have appeared, some of which are models of research and honesty; what a fine list that is which Munsell's Sons present in their American Genealogist! Other books are in preparation and much investigation and compilation is being done for simple, private satisfaction. But the work of historical research is an art; records, ever so accessible, need skilled readers and interpreters. Apparatus is demanded for the work; charts are needed for the chart-makers. John Farmer, M.A., having explored to the best of his ability a part of the early records, published in 1628 "A Genealogical Register of the First Settlers of New England," which had great value, and marked him as a benefactor of American students of history.

Book excerpt: *Includes pictures *Profiles important figures like John Winthrop, Roger Williams, and others *Includes online resources and a bibliography for further reading *Includes a table of contents The first successful American colony in North America was settled in 1607 at Jamestown, Virginia. Though the Virginian colonists had difficulty in the beginning, by the late 1620s the Chesapeake area was thriving, having become a haven for those seeking economic opportunity in the new world. Pressures in England were growing as King Charles I was on the throne. Though Charles I himself was an Anglican, many suspected him of Catholic sympathies, a suspicion not alleviated by Charles I marriage to a French Catholic princess. Many Protestants had a growing desire to practice their faith and conduct their lives away from the mother country, and sought refuge in a destination called New England. The land chosen by this group, who "could pay their own way across the Atlantic" in contrast to the poorer settlers of the Chesapeake region was "colder, less abundant, but far healthier" than Virginia. Alan Taylor sees this decision as one in "classic Puritan fashion," citing one settler's view: "If men desire to have a people degenerate speedily, and to corrupt their minds and bodies too...let them seek a rich soil, that beings in much with little labor; but if they desire that Piety and Godliness should prosper...let them choose a Country such as [New England] which yields sufficiency with hard labor and industry." The Puritans who came to America were, therefore, primed for hard work, discipline and the independent life, unlike their English counterparts who "preferred Anglicanism and the traditional culture characterized by church ales, Sunday diversions, ceremonial services, inclusive churches, and deference to the monarch." Ultimately, the men of the New England Company decided that the time had come to remove themselves from England, and to pursue their lives in the Americas. The Dorchester Company was founded by a group of investors with an interest in settlement in the New World. This settlement would be a for-profit venture, but it would have as its two main causes the spreading of the Gospel to the Indian population and the stop of the spread of Roman Catholicism in the American colonies. John White, the company's leader, also wanted to compete with the separatists who had begun the Plymouth colony in 1620. Cape Ann, a promontory very near to Cape Cod was established by the Dorchester Company as an early settlement. The fishing was excellent, but Cape Ann proved unable to provide the farm goods needed to sustain the Puritan settlers who came to the New World. The Dorchester Company was dissolved, but investors seeking to salvage its aims formed the New England Company or Massachusetts Bay Company and secured a charter just before King Charles I dissolved the Parliament in 1629. The Massachusetts Bay Colony: The History and Legacy of the Settlement of Colonial New England profiles the history of the colony, as well as its most famous leaders and individuals. Along with pictures of important people, places, and events, you will learn about colonial New England like never before, in no time at all.
