About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of History of New England, 1630-1649 by John Winthrop. Read in English by Aaron Decker. John Winthrop served as governor of the Massachusetts Bay colony for several years. His History of New England, 1630-1649 details life in the colony and narrates several controversies that arose within the plantation. Examples include the excommunication of Anne Hutchinson and a civil suit over a sow that expressed the tension between the aristocracy and democracy and led to the establishment of the bicameral system within the New England government. The Pequod war, treaties with other Native American tribes such as the Naragnasetts, and the establishment of the United Colonies are also covered. Summary by deckeraa.
