What was this great political enterprise all about? Who were these people who are considered the philosophical, spiritual, and moral ancestors of our nation? What Vowell discovers is something far different from what their uptight shoe-buckles-and-corn reputation might suggest. The people she finds are highly literate, deeply principled, and surprisingly feisty. Their story is filled with pamphlet feuds, witty courtroom dramas, and bloody vengeance.--From publisher description. 000337408 650_0 $$aPuritans$$zNew England$$xHistory$$y17th century. 000337408 650_0 $$aReligion and politics$$zNew England$$xHistory$$y17th century. 000337408 651_0 $$aNew England$$xPolitics and government$$yTo 1775. 000337408 85200 $$bgen$$hF7$$i.V69$$i2008 000337408 85642 $$3Publisher description$$uhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0906/2008030491-d.html 000337408 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:337408$$pGLOBAL_SET 000337408 980__ $$aBIB 000337408 980__ $$aBOOK
