Description

The first issue of a quarterly published in 1847 offers a vivid snapshot of New England’s early days. Written by the New England Historical and Genealogical Society, the volume weaves together narrative and record, beginning with the dramatic story of a group of dissenting Pilgrims forced ashore at Plymouth and the founding of a self‑governed settlement. It sets the tone for a collection that balances sweeping colonial history with the personal details of the people who shaped it.

Readers will hear a concise memoir of Governor John Endecott, the original covenant of the First Church in Massachusetts, and a selection of heraldic plates. The register also presents genealogies of the Wolcott, Minot and Parsons families, along with lists of Boston ministers, biographical sketches of physicians, and alumni notes from New England colleges. Detailed tables—best viewed in landscape—lay out dates, names, and relationships for easy reference.
