Description

The New World was full of unusualoccurrences and strange trials for the early colonists of New England.Devastating plagues, violent conflicts withNative Americans and freak weatherravaged whole communities. When settlers saw an array of colors dancingthrough the night sky, they thought the Northern Lights were a sign that theirend was near. Violators of public drunkenness were forced to wear large, redembroidered “D’s” around their necks for a year under the strict laws of thecolonies. Through the letters, diaries and journals of influential figures ofthe time, historian Robert A. Geake uncovers the oddities and wonders that amazed New England’s pioneers.
