Book Description
"Historic Events of Colonial Days" by Rupert Sargent Holland is a thrilling collection of stories about true events. The book reveals early American history, particularly the tumultuous, period of the nation. Excerpt: "The good ship Lyon had been sixty-seven days outward bound from the port of Bristol, in England, when she dropped anchor early in February, 1630, at Nantasket, near the entrance of Boston Harbor, in New England. The ship had met with many winter storms, and passengers and crew were glad to see the shores of Massachusetts. On the ninth of February the Lyon slipped through a field of drifting ice and came to anchor before the little settlement of Boston. On board the ship was a young man who was to play an exciting part in the story of the New World."
