Description

Abandoning America brings together the life-stories of hundreds of people who left New England in the 1630s but later returned home. This collection retrieves their forgotten histories from scattered fragments of evidence, revealing personal anxieties and aspirations about being a New Englander. The book offers a substantial introduction providing historical context and is fully annotated for reference and research. It provides valuable insights into the experience of those who stayed in New England as well as those who left, shedding light on Atlantic migration, religion in England and New England, and more. Susan Hardman Moore's work is an original resource for scholars of early America and the English Revolution, tracing settlers' lives with an eye to the information historians look for.
