Book Synopsis Governor Winthrop's Return to Boston: An Interview with a Great Character by : George Washington Warren
Book excerpt: The following book is dedicated to John Winthrop's feats, and includes a poem and illustration made in his honor. Winthrop was an English Puritan lawyer and one of the leading figures in founding the Massachusetts Bay Colony, the second major settlement in New England following Plymouth Colony. Winthrop led the first large wave of colonists from England and served as governor for 12 of the colony's first 20 years. His writings and vision of the colony as a Puritan "city upon a hill" dominated New England colonial development, influencing the governments and religions of neighboring colonies.
