Book Description
Following an introductory section devoted to a chronological list of European explorers and traders who made the first tentative soundings in Maine, the bulk of this book consists of a detailed history and description of each river settlement. Appended to the histories is an exhaustive list of pioneers connected with each settlement. The lists are arranged alphabetically by the surname of the original pioneer and yield such critical genealogical data as place of origin, date and place of settlement, occupation, name of wife and names of children, place and date of death, and, in many instances, names of family members in the country of origin.

The Correspondence of John Cotton
Author: Sargent Bush Jr.
Publisher: UNC Press Books
ISBN: 0807839159
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 634
Book Description
John Cotton (1584-1652) was a key figure in the English Puritan movement in the first half of the seventeenth century, a respected leader among his generation of emigrants from England to New England. This volume collects all known surviving correspondence by and to Cotton. These 125 letters--more than 50 of which are here published for the first time--span the decades between 1621 and 1652, a period of great activity and change in the Puritan movement and in English history. Now carefully edited, annotated, and contextualized, the letters chart the trajectory of Cotton's career and revive a variety of voices from the troubled times surrounding Charles I's reign, including those of such prominent figures as Oliver Cromwell, Bishop John Williams, John Dod, and Thomas Hooker, as well as many little-known persons who wrote to Cotton for advice and guidance. Among the treasures of early Anglo-American history, these letters bring to life the leading Puritan intellectual of the generation of the Great Migration and illustrate the network of mutual support that nourished an intellectual and spiritual movement through difficult times.

Cultural Encounters with the Environment

Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 9780742501065
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 356
Book Description
In Cultural Encounters with the Environment, a distinguished group of contributors offers a fresh and original view of contemporary geography. The authors explore the role of four traditional themes in the Onew cultural geographyO: the interplay between the evolution of particular biophysical niches and the activities of the culture groups that inhabit them; the diffusion of cultural traits; the establishment and definition of culture areas; and the distinctive mix of geographical characteristics that gives places their special character in relation to one another. By examining how cultural space is constructed; how environment is remade, understood, and imaged as a consequence; and how people lay claim to place, this volume establishes a compelling case for the importance of these enduring concepts to present and future trajectories in cultural geography.
