| Summary |
A historical account of the early history of Greenwich, CT, as told through the words of Elizabeth Fones Winthrop Feake Hallett. |
|
"...explores Elizabeth Winthrop's life in 1600s America with the utopian English Puritans, the merchant Dutch, and the inflamed native Munsee. Her violent and troubled Eden springs to life through newly translated corresondence, previously undiscovered documents, and a wealth of recent scholastic research. Elizabeth's remarkable story provide fascinating insights into the physical and intellectural hardships, dangers, and conflicts faced by all three cultures at the time, and their tragic combustion within New Netherland"--P.
