Excerpts from newly discovered personal diaries and correspondence provide readers with not only fascinating insights into the hardships, dangers, and losses inherent to English and Dutch settlers in the 1600s, but also first-hand descriptions of the local Native Americans' family life, allegiances, and society. Caught between the unendurable expectations of her Puritan relatives and land disputes with the neighboring Dutch, Elizabeth Winthrop demonstrated a tremendous strength of resolve to protect her own family and remain true to her heart.

A boon to genealogists and historical research, Missy Wolfe brings comprehensive new access to her town's thousand's of handwritten records of its first Europeanized century. She has digitally transcribed the first seven volumes from the Town Hall vault, integrated, sorted and chronologically ordered them, provided naming paths for citation and provided numerous indexes. She has separately photographed each record in high resolution. She has created multiple maps within Volume One to reveal lost place name locations known in the town's first century.
