Nature and Adventure |
| To
the first colonists of the Massachusetts Bay Company , their
arrival near the site of modern Salem in 1630 marked a crucial
moment in history. Puritans who had decided to leave England
before it was engulfed by civil war, saw their purpose, in
the words of Governor John Winthrop, as the establishment
of a Utopian " City upon a hill ." Their new colony
of MASSACHUSETTS was to be a beacon to the rest of humanity,
an exemplar of sober government along sound spiritual principles.
Not all those who followed, however, shared the same motivation;
the story is often told of the preacher who told his congregation
that they had come to New England to build a new kingdom of
God, only to be challenged by a vociferous parishioner who
said he had come to fish. |
