Description
Excerpt from Robert Treat, Founder, Farmer, Soldier, Statesman, Governor: Paper Read Before the New Haven Colony Historical Society
In the little parish church which has stood for perhaps a thousand years, plain enough to suit the taste of the sternest Puritan, one may read upon the cold pavement one'' s own name and the names of one''s friends and neighbors; and yonder on the village green, one comes with bated breath upon the simple inscription which tells of some humble hero who on that spot, in the evil reign of Mary, suffered death by fire.
The colonial history of New England is so associated with that of the rulers Of the mother country that, to comprehend the existing conditions, it becomes necessary in a measure to consider the characteristics of the men and the methods that controlled Old as well as New England during this period.
