The Journal of John Winthrop, 1630-1649: Abridged Edition (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780674484276)

The journal of Governor John Winthrop, one of the key documents of early New England history, records the first two crucial decades of the Bay Colony. Writing in a precise expository style, Winthrop details the myriad religious and political problems of the new settlement. The modernized abridgment incorporates about 40 percent of the text and includes a copy of Winthrop's sermon, "A Model of Christian Charity." This abridged edition, complete with introduction and annotations, also modernizes the governor's spelling and punctuation.
