By Christopher P. Obert (Massachusetts) - See all my reviews
This review is from: New England's Prospect (Paperback)
I really enjoyed this book. Originally published in London in 1634, Wood's book describes 17th Century New England to "enrich the knowledge of the mind-traveling reader or benefit the future voyager." The books mission is to relay all of the wonders and excitement of the New England country side, along with its' wildlife, plant life, sea life and the ever present Indians. The book is made much easier to understand by comments by Alden T. Vaughan explaining old words and their meanings. He also gives lists of books to find more detailed information on each subject covered in the book. Overall an excellent book that I would like to add to my permanent library collection!

First Sentence:
For as much as the king's most excellent majesty hath been graciously pleased, by the grant of his letters patents, at first to give life to the plantations of New England and hath daily likewise by his favors and royal protection cherished their growing hopes, whereby many of his majesty's faithful subjects have been imboldened to venture persons, states, and endeavors to the enlargement of his dominions in that western continent; wherefore I thought fit (for the further encouragement of those that hereafter, either by purse or person, shall help forward the plantation) to set forth these few observations out of my personal and experimental knowledge.
