Overview
Step into the documentary heart of colonial New England, where townships, families and leaders left a paper trail of a world in formation. This sixth volume in the fourth series of the famed Massachusetts Historical Society collection gathers an extraordinary colonial Massachusetts documents collection that captures daily life, belief and conflict in a changing province. These voices still speak today. Assembled from original manuscripts, official papers and private correspondence, it stands as one of the essential massachusetts colonial history sources for anyone drawn to early American history records. Here, primary sources New England scholars have relied on for generations illuminate 17th and 18th century Massachusetts, the growth of Boston and New England history, and the tensions that would culminate in American Revolution era Massachusetts. It is both an early American documents anthology and a rich seam of New England genealogy records, invaluable as a genealogy research reference book and as a doorway into academic early American history for students and independent readers alike. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure. This carefully produced edition of a landmark Massachusetts Historical Society collection offers historians, genealogists, local-history enthusiasts and classic-book collectors a rare chance to own a foundational record of Massachusetts and Boston in their formative centuries, and to keep these fragile voices in active circulation for years to come.
