When Governor John Winthrop established the Massachusetts Bay
Colony in 1630, he commenced a tradition of public service in which
his family would participate for almost a century. His son, John,
Jr., and his grandsons, Fitz John and Wait Still, were deeply
involved in the colonial government of New England, although their
motives were increasingly mixed with private interest. Mr. Dunn's
portrayal of this important and interesting family illuminates the
two most fundamental themes in early New England history: the
gradual secularization of the New England conscience, and the
continuous struggle to preserve local customs and privileges within
an increasingly centralized English imperial system. Originally
published in 1962. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest
print-on-demand technology to again make available previously
out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton
University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of
these important books while presenting them in durable paperback
and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is
to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in
the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press
since its founding in 1905.
